Alissa's Cinnamon Flax Crackers?

[shine72]

Okay, I used the banana and couldn't find them. I looked in the book, and the recipe isn't there either. My kids REALLY want me to make the Cinnamon Flax Crackers from the dvd. Does ANYONE have the recipe? I'd be SO grateful! TIA!:D

missrawdiva,

I have always used the brown flax until somebody here on RFT told me that the golden flax tastes way better. For me in Asia it's difficult (and expensive) to get the golden flax, but every effort (and expense) was worth it. It tastes a lot different, a more subtle mild taste, brown flax can have a very strong own taste.

I like simple flax crackers and a really nice and easy recipe is some ripe banana, golden flax, some almond flour (just ground up almonds) and some cinnamon. Lovely for the sweet tooth. Delicious with some honey or raw jam made from berries.

I also still love the onion bread, I never grow tired of making and eating it. Sometimes I use less onions but more flax (whole and ground) and sesame. A nice savoury cracker thing, goes very well with avos, tomatoes and onions on top.

cheers,
madmel

Does anyone have a recipe with specific measurements? I am no good at judging-not yet anyways. Thanks

[shine72]

Yes, does anyone have measurements? DH is the one who can just throw things together. I tend to have REALLY mixed results when I do that!:o Thanks!:D

And thanks Lucy!

Why couldn't you look at Alissa's flax seed recipe and base it on that?

Cause I'd either end up with way too much or way too little cinnamon. I've tried doing a dehydrator recipe with guesstimating spice ingredients before, my dh asked that I please stop!:p And yes, it was that strong or bland! LOL!

shine72,

I just wing it myself and they turn out great. If I remember next time I make them I'll write down how much I add and post here.

If you use 2 cups of flax seeds when making them I'd say about 1-2 tsp cinnamon would be about right and then 1 TBSP of honey and I throw in a little nutmeg.

Thanks! I was going to try it today, but I'm REALLY GLAD you posted this! I was about to use WAY TOO MUCH cinnamon and honey! (think 1/4c cinnamon and 1/8c honey!)

Thanks so much again!:D

shine72,

Okay I hope they turn out okay. Don't forget to add water like maybe 1/2 cup, you want it mushy looking so it will spread. You may need a bit more. Taste the raw paste to get some idea if you need maybe a bit more honey. Also add more by the teaspoon as there is less room for error that way. For nutmeg maybe like 1/4 tsp or a bit less.

This is a rough guide so let me know what happens.

does the flax get geled or does it go into the recipe as dried flax or does it get ground up
