Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180 C. Line a loaf pan, 9" x 4" with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients- all-purpose flour, wholewheat flour, oats, cranberries, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, fresh rosemary, dried thyme, turmeric, cinnamon powder, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
Whisk all the wet ingredients - buttermilk, brown sugar, and pumpkin puree in a small bowl. Pour over the dry ingredients. Mix well and put the batter in the prepared pan.
Bake at 180 C / 350 F for 35-40 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come back clean.
Let this loaf cool completely then transfer to the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
Slice the loaf as thinly as possible and cut each slice in half.
Preheat the oven to 180 C / 350 F again.
Lay out the sliced crackers on a baking tray and bake for another 20 minutes or until crisp. These will get crisper as they cool.
Store the cooled crackers in an airtight jar.

Notes

Store-bought buttermilk will work well in this recipe.
You can use canned pumpkin puree.
The loaf must cool completely before slicing.
Freezing the loaf for at least 30 minutes helps in cutting neat slices.
Slice as thinly as possible so the crackers bake evenly.
Pop them back in an air fryer or preheated oven if the crackers get soft.
