Super Bowl Sunday is almost here, and while the game is a highlight, let’s be real—the SNACKS are the real MVP! 

But instead of reaching for processed chips that leave you feeling sluggish, why not level up with a gut-friendly, crunchy, and satisfying treat?

Enter Flax Super-Seed Crackers—your new game-day snack that’s packed with fiber, healthy fats, and trace minerals to keep you feeling energized, and not bloated.

These crispy, golden crackers pair perfectly with guacamole, hummus, or your favorite dip. 

Plus, they’re easy to make and so delicious, you might need to double the batch (trust me on this one).

🥄 Makes: 20 Crackers (10 Servings)

✅ 2 cups ground flaxseed (or swap with chia or sesame seeds)

✅ 1 cup filtered water, divided

✅ 2 tbsp sprouted pumpkin seeds

✅ 2 tbsp sprouted sunflower seeds

✅ 2 tbsp hulled sesame seeds

✅ ½ tsp sea salt

✅ ½ tsp black pepper

✅ Dash of cayenne pepper (optional, for some heat)

1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, combine flaxseed and ½ cup of water. Mix until a dough begins to form.

3. Gradually add up to ½ cup additional water to moisten the dough, ensuring it doesn’t become too wet.

4. Mix in the pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame seeds until evenly distributed.

5. Spread out the dough on the baking sheet to about ⅛ to ¼ inch thick. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and optional cayenne.

6. Cut the dough into 20 squares and bake for 20–30 minutes, or until the crackers are crisp and the edges are browned.

7. Store in an airtight container.

🥑 Guacamole – Healthy fats + fiber = a touchdown for your gut!
🧆 Hummus – Packed with prebiotic fiber to keep digestion smooth.
🥜 Nut Butter – Almond or cashew butter for a creamy, protein-packed twist.

Whether you're cheering for your favorite team or just there for the halftime show, these crackers will be the ultimate Super Bowl snack— crunchy, satisfying, and totally gut-friendly. 

Enjoy!
