Chef's Note
For the crispiest crackers, make sure to roll the dough as thin as possible. If you have a pasta roller, you can use it to get an even thickness. These crackers can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days, but assemble with toppings just before serving to prevent sogginess.

Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup oat bran, 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon dried rosemary.
- 3
Add 3 tablespoons olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix with a fork until crumbly.
- 4
Gradually add 1/4 cup cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. You may need slightly more or less water depending on humidity.
- 5
Divide the dough in half and place each half on a piece of parchment paper. Cover with another piece of parchment and roll out very thin (about 1/16 inch).
- 6
Remove the top parchment, transfer the bottom parchment with dough to baking sheets, and score the dough into cracker-sized squares with a knife or pizza cutter.
- 7
Bake for 15-18 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through, until the crackers are golden brown and crisp. Watch carefully as they can burn quickly.
- 8
Allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack while preparing the toppings.
- 9
Drain and rinse 1 cup canned chickpeas, then pat dry. In a food processor, blend chickpeas until smooth.
- 10
Scoop the flesh from 3 avocados into a medium bowl and mash with 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until relatively smooth.
- 11
Fold in 1/2 cup Greek yogurt and the chickpea puree until well combined.
- 12
Dice 2 cups cherry tomatoes and finely chop 1/4 cup red onion and 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves.
- 13
In a small bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, basil, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt.
- 14
To serve, spread the avocado mixture onto the cooled crackers, top with the tomato mixture, and sprinkle with 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese.
- 15
Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately.
