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 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.
- 1 C Flax Seeds
- 2 C Water
- 1 C Raw Oat Flour
- 1/2 C Water
- 2 T Dehydrated Onion Flakes
- 1 t. Celtic Sea Salt
- 1/4 C Black Sesame Seeds
Soak 1 C flax seeds in 2 c water for 5+ hours. Mix together with oat flour, 1/2 C 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. Makes 2 sheets.

what beautiful crackers! I love the looks of these!
Hi Susan,
I can’t wait to make these….and eat them! Can I make my own raw oat flour by putting oats in my food processor?
Honestly, no. You won’t be able to get the fine, fluffy texture you need. You can in a coffee grinder but it will require a little commitment as the batches will be small.
Most oats that are raw are not certified gluten-free. I have used certified gluten-free oats to make a flour. It works fine in a high speed blender.
Could I use buckwheat flour from groats in place of oat flour? I only have regular oat flour in the house, and my son is gluten free- including oats. Thanks!
I have made these without the sesame seeds and grinded the gluten free oats into flour in a magic bullet or living well blender they came out great slow dehydrated them 145 degrees 5 hours
you could use any non gluten flour I think. The goo from soaking the flax holds it together and makes it spreadable. This base can be added to to create a bunch of different flavor combos
bobs red mill has gluten free oats
Just a note, unless you turn your dehydrator down after the first 45 minutes, the food temp will increase too much to still be considered raw. You have to keep the food temp under 116.
I make these with buckwheat flower, a big hit with my family, everybody loves them.
I know this is probably a dumb question butbinwantbto make sure inunderstand the recipe. After soaking the flax seeds for 5 hrs. Do you add the seeds plus it’s water to the oat flour?
Thanks!!
There won’t be any water. The flax seeds will have soaked it all up.
i dont have dehydratetor at home.can i use oven instead?
Justine: please see the FAQ page. Cheers!
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!!
