Healthy whole wheat crackers

I called these crackers healthy because, compared to classic ones, their composition is more suitable for a healthy diet. The cracker can also be suitable for vegetarian and lenten menus.
Whole grain flour from different manufacturers has different properties, and its quantity or the amount of water for the dough may vary.
Choose the amount of sugar, honey or sweet syrup to your taste. I used two tablespoons of agave syrup, and the cracker will be slightly sweet. Improvisations are also possible with vegetable oil; now there is still a large selection of healthy oils. In addition to the traditional sunflower or olive, you can take some kind of nut, cereal, etc., but I have cotton.
To make a healthy cracker option using whole grain flour, prepare the ingredients according to the list.
Ингредиенты
Whole grain flour - 1-1.5 cups
Sunflower seeds - about 0.5 cups
Sesame and/or flax seeds - 3 tbsp.
Water - about 50 ml
Syrup or honey - 2 tbsp. or to taste
Vegetable oil - 2 tbsp.
Baking powder - up to 1 tsp. optional
Salt - 1 pinch
Рецепт
1. Prepare coarse flour from peeled and dried sunflower seeds. The easiest way to do this is in a blender bowl.
2. Combine both types of flour, add sesame seeds (and/or flax seeds, chia seeds, etc.), and a pinch of salt. Adding baking powder is optional. I added 0.5 teaspoon.
3. Pour in cold water, sweet natural syrup (here - light agave) or liquid honey and vegetable oil (here - cottonseed).
4. Mix the ingredients together. To prepare the dough, I used a large blender bowl with plastic kneading blades, but you can also prepare the dough simply using a spoon or spatula. First, you should get a loose mass in the form of crumbs, which you need to collect and mold into one ball. There is no need to knead the dough for such a cracker for a long time.
5. Roll out the dough into a thin layer 3-5 mm thick. Mark the lines of the future cookies.
6. I had plans to use Sveta’s wonderful sago-cuisine rectangular cookie cutters, but... I forgot and mechanically cut the dough with a pizza cutter...
7. Bake the crackers on a greased baking sheet or lined with baking paper; a silicone mat is also convenient for baking. Place the cookie blanks, i.e. healthy cracker into the oven, preheated to 200 degrees, until well browned. Cooking time depends on the properties of the oven, but aim for 15-20 minutes.
8. A healthy cracker made from whole grain flour is ready.
9. Bon appetit!
