30 minutes 

30 minutes 

4

• 2 ripe avocados
• ½ tsp minced fresh garlic
• 1 lime, juice only
• 2 tbsp Melrose Organic Tahini Hulled
• Salt, to season

• 1 cup ground flaxmeal
• 1 cup ground almond meal
• 1 cup chia seeds
• ½ cup Melrose Organic Rolled Flaxseed
• ½ cup sunflower seeds
• 1 tbsp good quality dukkah (optional)
• 1 tbsp dulse flakes (optional)
• 2 tsp vegetable salt or salt flakes
• 2 cloves garlic, freshly minced or 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2.5 cups water

To make avocado dip, place avocados, garlic, lime juice, unhulled tahini in food processor and blend till smooth, season with salt and set aside.

For the flax crackers, preheat oven to 180 degrees.

Place flax meal, almond meal, chia seeds, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, dukkah, dulse flakes, salt and garlic in a large mixing bowl and stir well to combine all ingredients.

Add water and stir well to combine. Allow mixture to sit and thicken for about 15 minutes, stir occasionally. Mixture should become nice and sticky so that it clumps together easily when pressed together. If it seems too dry add a little more water and stir through.

Prepare two large baking trays with baking paper and divide the mixture evenly between them. Using clean hands, push and spread the mixture out evenly across baking trays until about 5 mm thick.

Place in oven and bake for approximately 20–30 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Rotate baking tray if needed. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

To ensure you have even crackers, you can place a clean piece of baking paper moistened with a little oil on top of the cracker mix and use a small rolling pin or cylindrical shaped glass / cup to roll out mix between the baking paper. If there's excess mixture at the edges, remove baking paper and trim with a small, sharp knife. Repeat on the other baking tray.
