Gluten-free Seeded Crispbread

15th June 2020 by Louise


Gluten-Free Seeded Crispbreads: A Healthy and Moreish Snack 


When it comes to snacking, finding something that’s both delicious and nutritious can be a challenge, especially if you’re avoiding gluten. Gluten-free seeded crispbreads—the perfect balance of health and flavour. Made with a blend of mixed seeds, cornflour, olive oil, and sea salt, these crunchy crackers are not only incredibly satisfying but also packed with natural goodness. 


Packed with nutrition 


Each crispbread is a powerhouse of goodness, thanks to the variety of seeds used. Sunflower, sesame, flax, and pumpkin seeds are just a few examples of what might go into the mix, providing a fantastic array of nutrients. These seeds are rich in healthy fats, protein, and fibre, helping to keep you energised and satiated throughout the day. They’re also a brilliant source of essential minerals like magnesium and zinc, making them a great addition to any balanced diet. 


Moreish and versatile 


One of the best things about these crispbreads is their versatility. They work beautifully as a base for canapés, a crunchy accompaniment to soups and salads, or even as a healthier alternative to crisps. Or equally satisfying straight out of the tin.

Gluten-free Seeded Crispbread

Delicious, healthy snacks, delicious eaten on their own or served with cheese or dips.
Prep Time14 minutes mins
Cook Time1 hour hr 15 minutes mins
Course: Snack
Cuisine: Scandinavian, Swedish
Servings: 25 crispbreads

Equipment

  • 1 Baking tray measuring 30 x 40 cm

Ingredients

  • 170 g Mixed seeds ie. Pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, buckwheat & linseed
  • 100 g cornflour cornstarch
  • 30 g olive oil extra virgin
  • 250 g freshly boiled water I weigh the water
  • 6 g sea salt fine
  • sea salt flakes to scatter on the top

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven 160℃ (fan). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Mine measures 40 x 30 cm.
  • Place all but 20g of the seeds in a bowl with the cornflour, add the oil and fine sea salt. Stir to blend the ingredients. Just as the kettle finishes boiling, carefully pour the water over the seed mix and give it a good stir.
  • Pour the mixture immediately onto the tray and spread evenly with an off set spatular, making sure there are no gaps. Sprinkle the remaining seeds on the top, and then add a light sprinkling of Maldon sea salt flakes. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the tray from the oven to cut into squares or rectangles. Now return the tray to the oven to crisp up. Continue to bake for one hour, then turn the oven off.
  • Once cool, store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

To ensure the crispbread is completely crisp, once they’re done, turn the oven off and leave the door open for 5 minutes to cool down quickly. Then shut it and leave the crispbread there for several hours.

    I’m in the USA what is Swedish cornflour? We have yellow ‘Corn flour’ and white powdery ‘corn starch’ . They are completely different ingredients.

    I’m also in the U.s. I made a mistake and used what we call corn flour (maize flour) from heritage corn. Used 2 x the amount in the recipe and.a little more honey and a little more salt. Everyone! love them. Happy error.

Can we talk about Switchel? While I love making sh Can we talk about Switchel? While I love making shrubs in summer, I’m very much a switchel drinker in the winter months. It’s like a warming, spiced ginger beer but alcohol-free and vinegar-based. Raw apple cider vinegar, honey, root ginger, and a touch of chilli for a little kick. Perfect for Dry January or anytime you want something satisfying that’s not booze. 

📌Shake the bottle before pouring.

2025 hasn’t been the easiest year, but it has been 2025 hasn’t been the easiest year, but it has been generously seasoned with moments of joy…The publication of my book, sourdough and celebration cakes baked and shared, nourishing meals that kept us steady, a restorative escape with family in the Stockholm archipelago, my son’s wedding beneath the Menorcan sun, and the unexpected pleasure of new friendships found here.

Here’s to 2026 — brighter days and new adventures.

I’ve finally got around to making my Christmas wre I’ve finally got around to making my Christmas wreath. I never really have a plan; I just knew I wanted to bring in soft reds this year. With my door nicely sheltered from the elements, pepper berries work beautifully. Thanks to @flowerfields.cookham for the foliage🌿

Decorating the Christmas tree on Lucia Day has bec Decorating the Christmas tree on Lucia Day has become a quiet tradition in my house — a saffron bun in hand while I wrestle with tangled fairy lights! If you caught my stories, now saved to highlights, you’ll have seen me shaping these as I went.

Saffron buns are traditionally eaten today, fragrant and gently sweet, but I’ve broken ranks and added an almond filling — rich, nutty and entirely worth the deviation. You can shape them like this (page 94) or as in the book; either are delicious with a cup of coffee as the afternoon light fades.

The recipe is from my book Buns, sweet and simple — written for days exactly like this, and I think a great Christmas gift for those who love to bake or want to learn.
