Fiber crackers

This is adapted from googling "psyllium crackers".
  • 8 Tbsp psyllium husk powder
  • 6 Tbsp flax seed meal
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp (more or less) sesame seeds (if you have them)
  • 1 tsp (more or less) seasonings, including salt
  • 3 cups (or a touch more) water
Mix dry ingredients. Add 3 cups of water while stirring with a fork. You'll get a gloopy mess. If the mixture seems stiff, add more water. You're going for something with a consistency like applesauce cups.  This will thicken while resting, so don't worry about it looking like it's too thin. Let mixture rest 5-10 minutes while you do the next step:

Preheat oven to 275 F (convection bake). Line 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Spray parchment paper lightly with Pam. Spread about 1 gloopy forkful of the mixture on the parchment paper at a time, and work it flat on the paper with the fork (roughly 1/8" to 1/4" thick, no thicker than 1/4"). Repeat until all done.

Bake at 275 F (convection) for 1:30. Take out of oven, flip each cracker, put back in oven. Increase temperature to 300 F, and cook another 30 minutes. Top and bottom of each cracker will be dull looking & crackers will be dry.  Take out of oven, let cool, and store in a dry place (cookie jar, ziplock bag, etc.)

This makes about 18+ crackers (about 2"x4" each).
