These crackers come together in no time and are so delicious. The first time I made them I found it hard NOT to to eat the whole batch. Millet flour is such a mild flour with a lovely nutty taste and the chia seeds give the crackers a nice crunch. Thyme would go very well in these instead of rosemary. I served these crackers using parsley pistachio pesto as a dip.

It is the most wonderful cracker! I have made it several times… it makes me happy to go to rosemary bish and snip the leaves….
It is a golden ritual now!
Thank you so much Lois! I have a huge rosemary bush which inspired this recipe
