Flaxseed Crackers and Nesco Dehydrator
There are a million and one ways to make flaxseed crackers – as usual I opt for the easy-peasy approach 
This is the basic of basics and it’s still pretty darn deee-lish with a bit of an asian twist.
- 2 cups flaxseeds (you can use a mix of brown & golden to add interest, although I used only brown flaxseed for this recipe)
- 2-1/2 cups water
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Bragg’s Liquid Soy
Soak flaxseeds in water for about 1 hour. Seeds are ready once water is absorbed. Add sesame oil and Bragg’s and mix well together.
I have a Nesco dehydrator and this batch made enough for 3 trays, although it could have been stretched a little thiner to make 4 trays, but I prefer my crackers a little thick. Spread the flax mixture evenly over the tray liner using an offset spatula or wide knife blade.
Flaxseed Crackers
Dehydrate for 1 hour at a higher temperature of 135 degrees. Then score the crackers to the desired size and continue to dehydrate at 110 degrees for 6-8 hours. Flip the flaxseeds to a mesh tray and continue dehydrating for another 2-3 hours until they reach the desired crispiness.
Break crackers at score marks and store in airtight container – although I’m pretty sure they won’t last long enough to store, especially if you try them with a little Herb Cashew Cheese spread, Hummus and/or Pineapple Salsa!!

Guess who is getting a Dehydrator this month?! For 1000 reasons & this is one of them… long over due. Yum!
Thanks for sharing with your peeps
Enjoy your new dehydrator …..
I don’t have a dehydrator – could I use a slow oven do you think? They sound soooooooooo good!
Hi Lois,
I haven’t tried it with the oven myself, but I have heard/read of others that do not have a dehydrator and use oven at it’s lowest temperature. So I think it would probably work.
Let me know how it goes… they really are delicious.
I have batch if the dehydrator right now as we speak, although I’m using a different recipe today with multi-seeds and a bit of spice…
Oh that sounds lovely… what seeds?
Hi Lois,
I just posted the recipe: http://almostrawvegan.com/2012/06/09/multi-seed-flaxseed-crackers/
Have a great day

Thanks Catherine!
I love this! I just got a Nesco recently and have been using it with fruits and kale but I haven’t tried crackers yet. Excited to give these a try!
Hi there,
I wasn’t sure at first if the Nesco would work for crackers, but it actually works really well… you will love it!! Let me know how it goes…
Enjoy!!
