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.

Ingredients
  • 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

  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/4 cup cold water

  • 3 medium ripe avocados

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes

  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

  • 1/4 cup red onion

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese

  • 1 cup canned chickpeas

  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

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.
