Ingredients:
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup quinoa flakes
1/2 cup hemp seeds
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
2 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp ground oregano
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 cup hot water
Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add water to mixture and combine until dough is consistently wet and slightly sticks together when pinched. Pour mixture into a pile on a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Being to press down mixture with wet fingers, gradually compressing towards the edges. As the mixture flatten you need to being pressing down more firmly to bond all of the ingredients together. You will need to work this process for at least 5 minutes, so don't rush!! If you don't spend the time compressing the mixture firmly, your crackers may end up like a savoury crumble!! Use one hand to support the edge as you press down around outer part of the mixture. The middle tends to be thicker so if you press down firmly working from the centre to the outer edges gradually, this will help to make the thickness of your cracker more even. You will have to periodically wet your fingers to keep the mixture from sticking to your hands, so having a small bowl of water on hand helps. Press VERY firmly to condense the mixture down to about 5-7.5 mm thick.
Bake at 325F for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and cut into squares (~1.5 inch x 1.5inch) and gently flip each cracker over. Return to oven to bake for another 40-45 minutes until crackers appear light brown. Let cool on a cooling rack. Enjoy!!
*You may find there will be some crumbled bits left on the baking sheet once you remove all of the crackers to the cooling racks. These bits make an excellent topping for salads or soups! So keep this deliciousness in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Store in air tight container for up to 7 days.
Makes about 20-24 crackers (depending on how you cut them).

Sunflower seeds
