Banana Flax Crackers – Recipe
This is another recipe from Undressed Skeleton. I can’t wait to link her! Unfortunately because I’m a new member OD won’t let me post links for the first 7 days (I understand it cuts down on spam diaries). So if you are on Tumblr you can find her, or just google "Undressed Skeleton" and you’ll find her, no problem.
Undressed Skeleton used whole flaxseeds.
1/2 cup flaxseed
1 whole medium banana (browned or extra ripe).
I didn’t have whole flaxseed, and I know you can’t actually get all the nutritional benefits from whole flaxseed, so I just used ground flaxseed, and also added some slivered almonds to mine. I then formed them into little circles on a pan lightly coated in grapeseed oil, and baked them for 20 minutes at 300 degrees.
They are SO delicious, not very sweet, but I spread them with honey (which is a natural antibiotic), and they make a delightful filling breakfast.
Next time I may try to make them thinner, to see if they get crispier; because right now I would say they are more like a cookie than a cracker.
RYN:I was pretty much sedentary before I started my new job so that’s why it was set at 1240. Now I eat 1450 and I usually eat back exercise calories too. Ah, the Supernatural Convention. Have you ever seen the CW TV series Supernatural? The conventions are held all over the world. Many of the actors from the show come and do Q&A panels, pics with the fans, autographs….it’s a long weekend-type

thing held in Chicago Oct 25-28. The main stars, Jensen and Jared, are there on Sundays while the other actors and actresses are there Fri and Sat. Fri nights is the Karoake parties and they are freaking awesome! The stars come onstage and sing, fans can get up and sing, the stars come into the audience…..last year my camera was stolen by Matt Cohen (one of the stars) and he took it up onstage

with him and it was passed around between all the stars. I have some awesome video footage from it! It’s just a great time to meet and hang out with people who also love the show. It’s a place where everyone has at least 1 thing in common (loving Supernatural) and everyone gets along. It’s great! 🙂
