Vegannosaurus Rex

I purchased a small bag of flax seed crackers from a vendor (name escapes me) at the EAV Farmer’s Market 2-3 weeks ago. My intention was to attempt to make some type of flax seed cracker, but had assumed I needed a dehydrator to do that, so i kinda just considered this purchase as an easy way to throw a couple dollars to a good cause- a local organic grower. I stumbled across a fellow local vegan blogger the other night, and her most recent post was a very simple recipe for flax seed crackers made in the oven. An added bonus, on this first truly chilly day of the fall season, the garam masala i blended with the cracker mix made my apartment smell extra delicious, and very autumnal (and, yes, i’m quite proud of myself for working the word ‘autumnal’ into a blog post). I attempted to set my oven to a temperature at or less than 118 degrees, in an attempt to simulate a dehydrator, and thus maintain the cracker’s ‘rawness.’ In the absence of a thermometer, there is no telling what actually happened. I think its time to get a dehydrator.

If you have a dehydrator, and are looking for a true-raw preparation, try this one over at Hi-Rawkus.
