I could not wait to write this post! I can’t believe it, but I have successfully made a homemade version of flax crackers! :) They knocked my socks off they tasted so good. And the best part is, they were EASY as pie! No, much much easier than pie.
Here’s the Store-Bought Version:
And my homemade (and much cheaper) version!!!
Oh my gosh they were FABULOUS! I couldn’t stop eating them!!!
The best part is they are gluten free and vegan!
I knew as soon as I tasted these, that I will be selling these in my Glo Bakery. They are just too good.
While I can’t reveal the exact recipe that I created, I can give you some major hints so you can try to make them yourself if you’d like!
I made these by simply looking at the ingredient list on the back of the Amy’s Organic Crackers box.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Brown rice
- 1/2 cup Quinoa
- 2 Tbsp. Flax Seeds
- 1 Tbsp Poppy Seeds (Sesame)
- 1/2 Tbsp Water
- Secret spices + herbs !!!
Directions:
Blend together cooked rice and quinoa until a thick sticky paste. Mix in seeds and other spices and seasonings. Spread on a flat, greased, pan. Cook for about 20-30 mins at 350F or until crispy.
My recipe made this circle plus another smaller one (not shown):
My batch made 3 servings of about 8 crackers at 165 kcals per serving. They. were. freaking. awesome.
I only wish I had made a bigger batch!!! They will be gone today I’m sure.
With some of my homemade raw Almond butter spread on it:
I think I sorta ruined my lunch! lol. They were just sooo yummy. :)
Yoga Mats:
I am thinking of buying a yoga mat because I don’t have one and my feet slip slid all over this mat that I currently have!
Does anyone have any Yoga mat recommendations?
I did 15 mins. of the Crunch Fat Burning Yoga this morning! I also did some abs on my stability ball. It felt great!
As part of my recovery, I am trying to strengthen my core. My Sports doctor said that a strong core prevents injuries.
You will be seeing LOTS more core work and yoga in my future!
Hubby and I are off for a hike soon! Weeeeeee….sun!
The crackers you made look better than the store bought ones..!
OMG, I totally want to make these sometimes!
haha you know what I DID like them better!
Good writing. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed my Google News Reader..

The cracker looks great!!
I’d go for a Manduka mat. I am OBSESSED with mine!
Your crackers look fabulous! I love how you have been featuring homemade, cost effective versions of foods that many of us enjoy! I will be trying out the homemade almond butter this coming week. Thanks for “looking out” for us!! :)
I use hugger mugger mats and I recommend them- very little slippage.
Those crackers look great! I’m putting the ingredients on my grocery list for this week!
Those crackers look AMAZING!
If you want a method for cutting up the crackers (to make them look pretty), here’s a video by Julie Hasson that shows a good method using a pastry wheel (she shows it at 5:10).
I hope you enjoy your crackers!

Oh those look GREAT!!
Enjoy your hike!
I bought my mat at Luluemon. It’s actually their pilates mat instead of the yoga one.
I prefer the pilates one because it has a little more cushioning which can be especially needed (at least for me) in certain poses.
To be honest I don’t remember how much it cost me. But I know that when I was shopping I checked out stores like Chapters and the Lulu one was negligibly more expensive but much better quality.
Oh and the pilates mat has these little bumps all over it that help with the traction! :)
Those look awesome!!!
Those crackers look exactly like the ones that you can get from the store, amazing! Definitely glo bakery worthy :)
You’ve inspired me to try making crackers sometime! Awesome!
Hugger Mugger is a good line, and Jade mats are pretty good too
OMG those crackers look amazing!
So today I posted my super-hard swimmer’s ab workout – you should try it out. It’s super effective and takes less than 15 minutes (unless you want it to be harder!)
I didn’t realize how many cool ab exercises I knew until I wrote them all down – and after I put up the post, I realized that I knew a ton more! (Here’s the link: http://iamthebeholder.wordpress.com/2009/03/14/ab-solutely/)
p.s. You look so gorge on your yoga mat. :)
After reading your blog, today I went and purchases thd DVD Beginner’s Yoga for Dummies. I’m finally going to try it out:) Thanks!
GLUTEN-FREE LIKE ME!! :-D
I just love your creativity!
the crackers look great! Def. will be buying the ingredients at the farmers market tomorrow! :)
