These crackers are just incredible! Made with olives, herbs, flax, a dash of garlic, and buckwheat flour. They are gluten-free, vegan, and grain-free (since buckwheat is a pseudocereal). Kalamata olives add flavour, while the oregano and garlic powder provide a Mediterranean vibe. You can make these with any flour, but buckwheat works beautifully if you have it or can find it.

From the first bite, I was in love. I'm not always a fan of buckwheat, but here it works so well with the olives, herbs, and garlic.

Buckwheat flour
Oregano
Garlic powder
Flaxmeal
Water
Baking powder
Pitted Kalamata olives
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F), or your usual temperature for crackers if your oven is quirky.
Warm up your water and place it in a bowl with the flaxmeal.
Chop your kalamata olives.
In a mixing bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.
Add in your flaxmeal and water (should have thickened a bit). Add the chopped kalamata olives and mix until combined.
Knead until it becomes a ball.
Roll out the dough on a sheet of parchment paper to about 3-4mm thickness. Cut into desired shapes using a knife or cookie cutter. I just cut a grid to make little squares.
Place the parchment paper with the crackers on the prepared baking tray. No need to space them out. They bake great as is.
Bake for 15 minutes or until crispy. Enjoy the deliciousness!
