Fig & flaxseed crackers
High in fibre and omega-3 fatty acids these crackers are not only a joy for your tastebuds, but they're also something your gut will thank you for too.
These crackers are the perfect way to make the most of the fig season and host in style. Plus, you'll be making something for the ones you love something that your body will love to.
Who said indulging can’t also be healthy?
Here's the method:
Serves 4
- To make the crackers pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1 cup of flaxseeds. With a good pinch of fine salt, give them a mix and leave to sit for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes your flaxseeds would have become gloopy, into the texture of raw egg whites. To this add 1 cup of pumpkin seeds, 1/2 a cup of sunflower seeds and 1/2 a cup of hemp hearts, along with a generous amount of freshly cracked black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C. Pour a generous amount of olive oil onto a lined baking tray. Spread your cracker mixtures evenly across the baking tray. Bake for 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes open the oven door and turn down the temperature to 170°C, then bake for a further 14 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely before snapping them off the tray.
- Slice your figs and marinade them in salt, olive oil and thyme. Lay them on top of pieces of vegan cheese onto the crackers.
- Enjoy with your loved ones!
