These look so good – I’m definitely going to try them. Mary’s Organics are SO expensive. I’ve yet to try them out of sheer unwillingness to open my wallet!

I’m finding the resources here in Atlantic Canada limited for a lot of things (ie: can’t find Greek yogurt to try anywhere so far).

I made these tonight. I don’t think they came out just like yours, but good just the same. Not sure how long they will last, as I’m looking for excuses to eat them all up!

[...] The crackers didn’t persuade me either. Too much work for too little crackers, I’m used to cook simpler. The taste was ok. I adapted this recipe. [...]

These look amazing! I am a huge fan of Mary’s Gone Crackers Sticks & Twigs though only buy them as a special treat because of how expensive they are. I think it is absolutely amazing that you figured out how to make them. I am in awe and can’t wait to try making them myself. Thank you!

Metta,
The flax and chia are both ground before measuring. Usual recipe format puts the “ground” first if it’s to be measured that way, but after if it’s to be measured whole. For example, “1/2 cup ground flax seeds” means to measure after they’re already ground, but “1/2 cup flax seeds, ground” means to measure them whole, then grind them. Similarly, “1/4 cup mint, chopped” means to measure the mint first, then chop. Hope this helps!

These look so great, I think I’ll make them this weekend. Quick question – is the measurement on the flax and chia seeds taken before or after they have been ground?

Wow wow wow! I’m a crunchy-salty snack kind of girl for sure, and I’m in love with sesame sticks. I’ve never had the Mary’s twigs (love their crackers), but I bet I would absolutely love this snack! Maybe a little too much I think…
