I just made these with adaptions because I live in Australia and can't get your products. I used 1 Tbs of sugar and 1 Tbs of Maple Sugar and used fine celtic salt in the dough and then mixed a small amount in the seeds. The seeds I used were plain ol' linseed, sesame, poppy and sunflower. Next time I'm going to add either hot paprika or cayenne to the dough for a bit of a kick. However, the resulting crackers are F-A-B! Very impressed and even Mr 5yo ate them happily and will be able to take them to preschool as a healthy snack!
@ Cassandra, with sugar/diabetes an issue in my family I'd like to suggest that your husband do some more reading about his disease. Diabetics need to eat low GI (Glyceamic Index) rather than rush away from sugar. There is a great new book out here in Australia about this and apparently a low GI diet can help more with maintaining your diabetes. Hope this is of help.
Thanks for sharing your recipe adaptations for all to see (and use!). Happy Baking! Irene @ KAF
