Pregnancy Friendly Seed Power Crackers
Crunchy, savory, and genuinely satisfying, these seed-packed crackers are the kind of snack that earns a permanent spot in your kitchen rotation. Every ingredient is pulling real nutritional weight — pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and sesame seeds come together in a single slab that's rich in healthy fats and plant-based goodness, all of which matter a lot when you're eating for two. A touch of turmeric, smoked paprika, and garlic powder gives them a warm, complex flavor that makes plain crackers feel like a distant memory. Egg whites act as the binder, holding everything together without any flour or additives, so what you're eating is exactly what you see on the ingredient list — no mystery fillers or preservatives to second-guess. The baking method is clever: you spread the mixture into a thin slab, score it partway through baking, and let it finish crisping in the oven so every cracker comes out evenly golden and snappy. They're wonderful on their own, sturdy enough to top with whatever sounds good that day, and easy to make in a single session whenever cravings hit.
