1/2 cup flaxseed
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds

Substitutions
You can substitute any of the seeds with nuts or other types of seeds. You can also use any type of flour you prefer, such as spelt or rye flour.
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to make your own multigrain crackers:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, rolled oats, flaxseed, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, salt, and baking powder.
Add the olive oil and water to the bowl and stir until everything is well combined. You should have a slightly sticky dough.
Divide the dough into four equal parts.
Place one part of the dough on a piece of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a pizza cutter or a knife to cut the dough into small squares or rectangles.
Repeat with the remaining three parts of the dough.
Transfer the parchment paper with the cut dough onto a baking sheet.
Bake the crackers for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Repeat with the remaining dough until you have used it all up.
