Raw Sesame and Flax Crackers
As we move into the holidays, I love making raw food that not only satisfies your every day needs but will also look great on a holiday table. These raw, flax crackers are gluten free and incorporate black sesame seeds for a fun accent. The black sesame seeds add protein and zinc, which are important ingredients to your diet. I used raw, organic oat flour in these. It gives a great flavor and also texture. Plus all the health giving benefits of oats! Not all oat flour is raw. You can find it through Sun Rise Flour Mill.
Sesame Flax Crackers
MAKES 2 SHEETS
- 1 cup flax seeds
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup raw oat flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons dehydrated onion flakes
- 1 teaspoon celtic sea salt
- 1/4 cup black sesame seeds
- Soak 1 cup flax seeds in 2 cups water for 5+ hours.
- Mix together with oat flour, 1/2 cup water, onion flakes, and Celtic sea salt.
- Spread on non-stick dehydrator sheets about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and score with knife.
- Dehydrate at 145 for 1/2 hour then reduce to 116 for 2 hours. Remove non-stick sheets and place top up on screens. Dehydrate at least 2-4 more hours or until dry.

I am just getting started in the raw food world and do not own a lot of the equipment but it seems as though the dehydrator is my biggest challenge. I have an old oven with no fan/convection so what can I do to make many of the delicious looking recipes? I have googled options and most talk about using a fan…does this mean I prop open the oven door and place a floor fan at an angle to get some circulating air into the oven? Any tips/suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi Susan, Do we have to soak and dry black sesame seeds before using them?
will you please explain the differences in types of sesame seeds? do we have to soak-dry them in order of better digestion? Thanks!!

I usually don’t bother with the sesame seeds. It isn’t a big problem as with some of the nuts. Cheers!

I just made this cracker and my husband really loves it! He’s been a bit standoffish from my raw crackers but he loves this one and says the crunch is awesome!

Can you make the oat flour with a Vitamix rather than a food processor? I’m a newbie and am totally inspired by your blogs and recipes as I slowly incorporate more raw foods into my family’s diet. Thank you so much!!

There won’t be any water. The flax seeds will have soaked it all up.
