These Keto Crackers are my go-to snack when I want something crunchy, salty, and low in carbs. I make them with almond flour and cheese, so they’re perfectly crisp with just the right amount of savory flavor. They’re easy to customize, super satisfying, and they pair perfectly with dips, cheese boards, or just on their own straight out of the container.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love these crackers because they’re quick to make, low-carb, and totally addictive. They give me that satisfying crunch I often miss on a keto diet—without any grains or flour. Plus, I can tweak the flavor with herbs or spices depending on what I’m craving. Whether I need a snack or a party-friendly bite, these crackers always come through.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
Almond flour
-
Shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)
-
Egg
-
Salt
-
Garlic powder (optional)
-
Onion powder (optional)
-
Italian seasoning or dried herbs (optional)
Directions
-
I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, I combine almond flour, shredded cheese, salt, and any optional seasonings.
-
I beat in the egg until a dough forms—it should be sticky but workable.
-
I place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out thin and even (about 1/8 inch thick).
-
I remove the top parchment and score the dough into cracker shapes using a knife or pizza cutter.
-
I bake the crackers for 15–20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crisp at the edges.
-
I let them cool completely before breaking them apart and storing.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes about 40 crackers, depending on how I cut them. It takes me about 10 minutes to prep and 20 minutes to bake, so I have fresh, crunchy crackers ready in just 30 minutes.
Variations
-
I use parmesan or pepper jack cheese for a bolder flavor.
-
Sometimes I add a pinch of chili flakes or smoked paprika for heat.
-
For herb lovers, I mix in rosemary, thyme, or everything bagel seasoning.
-
If I want them extra crisp, I roll the dough even thinner and bake a few minutes longer.
-
I’ve also made them dairy-free using dairy-free shredded cheese—it works well with a little extra egg.
storage/reheating
I store these crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If they lose their crunch, I pop them back in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes to crisp them up again. They also freeze well—I just reheat them in the oven directly from frozen.
FAQs
Can I make these without cheese?
Cheese helps bind the dough and adds flavor, but I’ve made a version using egg and almond flour with added seasonings—it’s not as rich but still crunchy.
Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Not directly—coconut flour absorbs more liquid, so I’d need to adjust the amount and add another egg. I prefer almond flour for the texture.
How do I keep the crackers crispy?
I let them cool completely and store them in a dry container. If they get soft, I reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to bring the crunch back.
Are these crackers gluten-free?
Yes, since I use almond flour and no wheat, they’re naturally gluten-free and grain-free.
Can I add seeds like chia or flax?
Definitely. I’ve added a tablespoon or two of flaxseed meal or chia seeds for texture and added nutrition.
Conclusion
These Keto Crackers are a crispy, cheesy, low-carb snack that I can whip up in no time. Whether I pair them with dips, cheese, or eat them straight from the pan, they’re always a hit. I love how easy they are to make and how well they fit into my keto lifestyle without sacrificing crunch or flavor.
