- 40 grams (1/4 cup) flaxseeds
- 30 grams (1/3 cup) unflavored protein powder (or more oats, see notes*)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 Cº (350 Fº).

- After blending, let protein oat cracker batter rest for five minutes.
- Line a 20 x 30 cm (9 x 13 inches) baking pan with parchment paper. Spread over the pan protein crackers dough as thin as possible. Try to evenly spread batter, so that the oat crackers can bake uniformly. If desired, sprinkle top with pumpkin seeds.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then remove pan from the oven and cut crackers sheet into small squares.
- After cutting, bake protein crackers for additional 18 to 25 minutes, or until golden and crispy. But do not over-bake, they will get crispier while cooling.
- Allow oil-free protein crackers to cool before serving.
Notes

- Quantity of milk depends on protein powder utilized. Whey protein powder requires around 200 ml (4/5 cup) milk whereas vegan protein powders may require more milk, up to 230 ml (or 1 cup). Recipe gives 6 servings of 5 crackers each.
