Servings:
Makes about 110 round crackers approx 2" diameterThey are delicious and can be made into little flax rounds.
Ingredients:
3½ cup Golden Flax Seeds, (soaked 4 - 6 hours in 3 cups water)
2 teaspoon vanilla essence (extract)
4 tablespoon Ginger,
juiced with pulp or processed
½ cup sunflower seeds
½ cup Maple Syrup
Preparation:
Mix flax, sunflower, maple, vanilla and ginger. The ginger can either be juiced and the pulp and juice added, or pureed in the food processor.
Keep mixture moist and loose for spreading. Spread mixture as thin as possible.
I like to make into round crackers, an exercise in patience. (I am experimenting today with using a non stick
mini muffin pan to dry them in.)
Dehydrate at 105 degrees for 5-6 hours on teflex. Flip over, remove teflex and dehydrate another 4-5 hours until desired crispness.
You can add more maple syrup, then it might need to be longer in the dehydrator. Also same goes for the ginger, I added more of both yesterday. It was about 4 tablespoons minced ginger and juice and 3/4 – 1 cup
maple.
Can use a few dark flax seeds mixed in instead for appearance.
Taste test!

You could but then they would be simply sweet and gingery. Let me know what they are like if you do.

These look fabulous, I do believe I have everything I need to make them here already. Could I substitute agave for the maple syrup you think?

"call it is essence" I do have command of the English language, just bad typing and is there a way to edit ones own comments?

I used organic vanilla extract - we call it is essence in UK and Australia and.....

What can I use in place of Vanilla Essence? Vanilla beans? Vanilla flavoring? Thanks, sounds great :)

Welcome, necessity is the mother of invention. I ate some similar from Wholefoods in San Jose, but they are only in CA. Nothing so nice on East Coast.
