Why should I sprout the buckwheat groats for these crackers?

Soaking and sprouting the raw buckwheat groats for at least 6 hours, and ideally 12-24 hours, enhances their nutritional benefits before they are blended into the cracker batter.

How long does it take for the buckwheat to sprout to an ideal length?

The sprouts will reach an ideal length in about 24 hours, but they are already usable after 12 hours of sprouting.

What should I do if my sprouting buckwheat groats become slimy?

To prevent sliminess, rinse the sprouting buckwheat groats about 2-3 times daily while they are in the sieve covered with a damp cloth.

What is the best way to ensure these crackers become really crispy?

For maximum crispiness, bake the crackers at 350 degreesF for 25-30 minutes until golden, then turn off the heat, open the oven door, and let them cool completely inside the oven.

Can I roll out the cracker batter without a silicone baking mat?

Yes, you can use parchment paper measured to the size of your baking sheet. Place the batter between two sheets of parchment paper to roll it out evenly.

How to Prepare Gluten-Free Sprouted Crackers [Vegan]

Start by soaking unroasted (raw) buckwheat groats for at least 6 hours for nutritional benefits. Then drain and rinse them well.
Next, place them (in a sieve) on a bowl bigger than the sieve and cover with clean and slightly damp folded kitchen cloth. Keep them at room temperature. Rinse them about 2-3 times daily as they can get slimy. The sprouts will be with ideal length in 24 hours, but already usable in 12 hours.
When you have your sprouted buckwheat, throw it into food processor along with all the other ingredients and process until you have homogeneous batter. You’ll need to scrape the sides with a spoon now and again.
Next, place the batter onto silicone baking mat or parchment paper (measured for the size of your baking sheet) and using spatula, spread it out a bit. Then, take another piece of parchment paper and place it onto batter. Gently press the pile down with your hands. Now, start rolling it out until it is almost the same shape and size as your baking sheet. Remove the top paper and lift the rolled out batter onto baking sheet. If you have a smaller rolling pin, you might be also able to roll it directly on baking sheet.
Bake the crackers at 350°F for 25-30 minutes until golden. Then turn off the heat, open the oven door and let cool in the oven to get it really crispy. Should you like it a bit soft, remove immediately and start munching.
