Sweet Five Seed Crackers will have you smacking your lips.
I love the combination of spices in these surprisingly simple Sweet Five Seed Crackers. Spread them with a little cream cheese and a sliver of apple for a beautiful moment of gracious living. Since they are free of all major allergens, just about anyone can eat them. And everyone will love these crackers.
The idea for the crackers came from Quite Good Food, and I previously published a similar recipe, Five Seed Crackers, that has a robust, spicy combination of spices. The taste is entirely different, but it's terrific, too.

What You Need
You will need a bowl, measuring cups and spoons, a rubber spatula, one or two baking sheets, and parchment paper or a silicone mat (affiliate link) for easy cleanup. You will also need an airtight container to put the baked crackers in to keep them fresh. But they probably won't last very long because they are just that good.
Sweet Five Seed Crackers Recipe
Author: Recipe Idea Shop
Ingredients
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds
- ½ cup chia seeds
- ½ cup sesame seeds can be white or black or a mixture
- ¼ cup flax seeds
- 1½ teaspoons salt use sea salt for corn free
- 1½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon allspice
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ cup dried cranberries Craisins; or dried blueberries or dried cherries
Instructions
- Dump all the ingredients in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
- Let the bowl stand for about 15 minutes until the water is mostly absorbed. Stir.
- Line a standard baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet (or two sheets if you like your crackers thinner).
- Spread the seed mixture evenly over the baking sheet(s). I use a rubber spatula to evenly spread the mixture.
- Bake at 340°F for a total of 60-70 minutes, turning the pan halfway through to make sure it bakes evenly.
- If you are using two baking sheets, the timing will be about 1 hour. If you are using one sheet, you will need to bake the crackers a few minutes longer.
- Bake until the crackers are just starting to brown. Then remove them from the oven. If you bake them until they are nicely browned across the whole top, they will have a slightly different flavor, which is also excellent. So try them both ways and see what you like best.
- Let the crackers cool. Then break them into shards.
- Or, if you prefer square crackers, take them out of the oven after 30 minutes and cut them into squares, returning them to the oven to finish baking for the remaining 30-40 minutes.

Such a simple cracker to make, and it's SO good. Did I mention it's gluten free, dairy free, and nut free?
