Millet & Flax Seed Chips?

Hi there,

I am a huge fan of the millet & flax seed chips that I've found (made by Sami's bakery). They have a few varieties (garlic, cinnamon/sugar (xylitol maybe?)) but they are kind of expensive and I would love to be able to make them myself. Does anyone have a recipe for Millet & Flax Chips? They are thicker than a tortilla chip or a cracker. Can you help?

Ha! That is very funny, I just googled recipes too for the exact same reason for the same chips. I joined this forum last month to help a friend living in Moscow who's just developed a gluten allergy and can't get good advice over there. Did you come up with any recipes? I'm just about to make them in my kitchen. I am going to try 3/4 millet flour, 1/4 brown rice flour and guess on the baking powder and flax seed amounts. I'm also going to grind up some of the flax seed because they have a lot of mucilage and I think that might help keep the chips sticking together. I also imagine there's a pretty good amount of olive oil in it since the come out so crispy. I'll let you know.

According to what you've just described, I would include 1/4 either tapicoa or arrowroot starch, and make it 1/2 millet. That's just what I've had good experience with, it might come out great without some starch, but I have yet to find a recipe that does.

I know this is an old thread...but just curious if you guys were able to get the recipe figured out? I totally LOVE those crackers!!! (Especially the cinnamon sugar ones!!)

According to Sami's Bakery, these are the items in the millet chips - cinnamon my favorite. Smile.

Ingredients

Millet Flour, Brown Rice Flour, Ground Flax, Water, Cinnamon, Brown Sugar and Cane Sugar, Olive Oil ,Sea Salt , Non Aluminum Baking Powder.

I would definitely agree to using more millet flour than brown rice flour. Water and olive oil would be small amount so you could shape and flatten the dough - kind of like biscuit dough consistency. Baking powder probably 1/2 to cup of flour. Don't want it to rise too much. Thinking cinnamon and brown sugar are mixed to be sprinkled on top. Hope this helps.

I did notice they sell the above chips at their site, www.SamisBakery.com for only $3.09. The store I shop at sells them for $5 or $6 now. Guess it would be wise to order online...depending on shipping costs.

      @Alibu, Migraines ran in my family as well.  Correcting my Thiamine insufficiency made a dramatic improvement in frequency and duration.   If you take Thiamine, B12 and B6 together, they have analgesic (pain relieving) properties.  Taking thiamine every day has cut down on their occurrence and severity for me.   Take Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  These forms get into the brain easily.  Magnesium Threonate gets into the brain easily, too, and helps thiamine work.  My gave a sigh of relief when I first took it, and no migraines. Yes, lowering histamine levels helps one feel better, too.  Vitamin C and B12 help reduce histamine.  A low histamine diet can help, too.  DAO supplements lower histamine, as well.  DOA is a digestive enzyme we can run short on.

      @ehb   Great you're going to start the AIP diet!  I know it's scary and stressful, but you'll soon start feeling better.  It's a challenge, but you can make it.  Do ask for a Erythrocyte Transketolace test which tests for Thiamine level.   I hope your Vitamin D level is between 70 and 100 nmol/L.  In this optimal range, Vitamin D can act like a hormone and regulate the immune system.  Vitamin D 3 is the form that the body can utilize well.  I was prescribed the synthetic firm D2 and my body didn't like it.  I know getting my Vitamin D up in the eighties made a world of difference to me.  My depression improved and I felt so much better at higher levels.   I prefer Life Extension brand for many vitamins.  The important thing is to read the label and watch out for fillers like rice flour.  This may help. Keep us posted on your progress!

      @knitty kitty I have an appointment to go over the results tomorrow. Vitamin D was in the normal range. I’ve decided to start the gluten contamination elimination diet, while avoiding nightshades as recommended by the AIP. I am still hoping to get support from a nutritionist or advice from the doctor about supplements to make sure I’m getting enough nutrients. I’m still having a hard time sorting through all of the different brands and possible combinations

      We've definitely all had such thoughts.  But as Scott says, it does get easier with time.  I'm not sure where you are posting from but in England where I live, over the last ten years or so most things I missed at first now have gluten free substitutes.   I still miss Twix bars, and chocolate Penguins (a type of biscuit) but I'm hoping sooner or later someone will create a decent substitute for them! One thing that I remember my husband said to me when I was feeling down one day  was: "Why don't you try to think of all the things you can still eat, rather than the things you can't?"  The list is long, and it did help - sort of!

      It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free. https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/grits/instant-grits-plain
