Ingredients

1 cup cooked whole lentils
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup buckwheat flour (light or dark)
6 tablespoons ground flaxseed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon honey (or maple syrup, or alternative)
5 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
water (as needed)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Puree the cooked lentils in a food processor until smooth.
In a mixing bowl, stir together the lentils, flaxseed, honey, and melted coconut oil.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, buckwheat flour, salt, and baking soda.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until a crumbly dough forms.
Add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the dough holds together but is not sticky.
Cover and chill the dough for 10–15 minutes.
Divide dough into 2 portions.
Roll each portion between sheets of parchment paper until very thin, about 1/16 inch thick.
Cut into squares or rounds and transfer to prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through if desired, until crisp and lightly browned.
Cool completely on the baking sheet to crisp further before storing.

Notes

Roll Thin for Crispy Crackers: For the crispiest texture, roll the dough very thin and as evenly as possible.
Adjust Dough as Needed: If the dough feels too crumbly, add water 1 teaspoon at a time. If it becomes sticky, dust lightly with buckwheat flour.
Grain-Free Option: Replace the buckwheat flour with almond flour for a grain-free version. The dough will be softer and usually won’t need extra water.
Nut-Free Option: Use brown rice flour instead of almond flour for a nut-free version.
Flavor Ideas: Try adding garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, smoked paprika, or everything bagel seasoning.
Storage: Store cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for several days. If they soften, crisp them again in a low oven for a few minutes.
