Mela – Made

Crunchy. Yummy. Easy.
Honestly, what else do you even want from a cracker? These are made with just water, oil, salt, and seeds—that’s it. No mystery ingredients, no weird powders, no trip to a specialty store where everything smells like kombucha. The prep takes almost zero effort, and in under an hour you’ve got the crunchiest, most addictive snack.

Equipment

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Medium bowl
• Silicone spatula
• Silicone brush

Ingredients

1. Avocado or any other neutral oil
2. Flaky salt – I like to use flavored salt
3. 1 cup Flax or chia seeds (non-negotiable—these are the “glue”)
4. 1 cup Pumpkin, hemp hearts, sunflower seeds (my fave combo, but you do you)

Instructions

1. Lightly oil a baking sheet, then line it with parchment. Add another thin swipe of oil on top.
2. In a bowl, add 1 cup flax seeds, chia seeds, or a mix.
3. Pour in 1 cup boiling water. Stir until it looks like egg whites (weird, I know, but trust the process).
4. Add 1 cup of your favorite seed mix + 1 teaspoon salt. Stir.
5. Let it soak for 10–20 minutes while you preheat the oven to 350°F.
6. Spread the mixture in a very thin layer on the baking sheet (about 1½ pans worth). Sprinkle with more salt.
7. Bake for 40 minutes until crispy and golden. (keep an eye on them every oven is different) it also depends on how thin of a layer you made
8. Hit it with another pinch of salt, break into pieces, and try not to eat the whole batch at once.

NOTES

1. You can totally use a silicone baking mat here—no need to oil underneath it, just brush a little oil on top! Easy-peasy.
2. Also, hemp hearts? I could not find them anywhere at the store. Ended up ordering them online like a modern-day hunter-gatherer.”.
