Everyone enjoys a good cracker, be it with the morning cup of tea or with some peanut butter as a light snack. However, the ultra-processed ones available in the market are loaded with calories and not the best option for our gut.

“These high-protein, high-fibre seeded crackers are one of my favourite snacks to prep ahead,” shared Dr Aujla about his crackers. “I love crackers as much as the next person, but most supermarket versions are made with refined flours and a long list of additives, which aren’t great for your gut. So I make my own using whole food ingredients instead!”
“My top tip is adding a handful of leafy greens. It adds fibre and gives a really nice twist on the original recipe,” he added. “They’ll keep in an airtight jar for up to 2 weeks.”
The detailed instructions to prepare the cracker are presented as follows.
