Grainless Kale Flat Bread
Prep
Cook
Total
Yield 8-12 Servings
Ingredients:
- 2 cups packed kale.
- ½ large onion
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 tsp pink salt
- 2 pasture-raised eggs
- 2 tbsps. grass-fed butter/ghee or coconut oil
- ½ tsp lemon juice
Instructions:
Step #1: Preheat the oven to 300°F. Grease a baking sheet or baking stone with coconut oil cooking spray.
Step #2: Combine all of the ingredients in a high-powered blender or food processor and blend, pausing periodically to scrape down the sides of the container, until a smooth, dough like consistency has formed and all the chunks have been eliminated. This could take several minutes.
Step #3: Using a spatula to ensure evenness, spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet; it should be as thin and even as you can get it.
Step #4: Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, depending on thickness. To check for doneness, gently insert a fork or toothpick into the flatbread; if it comes out clean, it is ready. Remove from the oven.
Step #5: Slice and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Megan’s Comments:
Gluten free, flour free, grain free, sugar free, and a wonderful alternative to any flat bread you may be craving! This recipe only has a few simple ingredients, and will fill you up with your leafy greens, nuts, and vegetables!
Couple of notes about this recipe:
- This mixture can be bread like or cracker like depending on how long you cook it/how thin you spread the mixture.
- If you like more of a soft chewy texture, cook for a shorter amount of time and spread the dough a bit thicker. If you want more of a cracker, spread it thin and cook it longer, until fully crunchy. Keep checking it towards the end to get the crunchiness you like.
- You could also experiment with cooking at a higher temperature for a shorter amount of time, just keep checking after 15 min to make sure it does not burn.
Dr Jockers Comments:
This is a very tasty and nutrient dense cracker that is grain-free and low carb. This is easy on the digestive system and anti-inflammatory for the body. Kale is an incredible superfood with a massive amount of high-powered nutrients. The walnuts and sunflower seeds are rich in small chain omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins and healthy fiber.
This is a great recipe to make on the weekend and have out during the week for the kids or pack it in your lunch and/or your children’s lunch.

Thank you for this great recipe. Buying Kale “crackers” are expensive~ I’m excited to try this one.
that’s the best recipe Ive ever had. thank you very much
Awesome! Great to hear that Tina!
I’m wondering if it’s possible to make these in a dehydrator to keep the crackers even healthier? Any suggestions or comments?
You can certainly try it Joyce!
I would not use a dehydrator since it contains eggs which you will then be eating raw. They will end up rotting without cooking at a high enough temp.
