What crackers can you eat on keto? These KETO CRACKERS! My low carb crackers recipe is the perfect way to enjoy crackers in a much more nutritious form! These almond flour crackers (paleo crackers) are made up of just TWO simple and healthy ingredients. And when they’re mixed together and baked, they turn into addicting, but wholesome, little almond crackers!
Keto eating is great, but do you ever just want a plate of cheese and crackers? Or maybe crackers and your favorite dip? This low carb crackers recipe makes it possible to have both. 🙂
With just two simple ingredients (plus salt), you can make these paleo crackers. They are buttery, crispy, and oh-so-crunchy!
This keto crackers recipe was originally published on May 22, 2016, and was republished in October 2019, with new tips. New photos were added in December 2019. If you’re curious, here is what these almond flour crackers looked like originally (same great recipe!):
Can You Eat Crackers On Keto?
Crackers on keto? YASSS! So long as you’re making my wholesome low carb crackers recipe with almond flour! You can find more almond flour recipes here.
These keto crackers with almond flour have just 4 grams net carbs per serving.
Keto Crackers Ingredients
Now let’s talk about what’s in these almond flour crackers… and what isn’t! Unlike your crackers from the store, this low carb crackers recipe contains no fillers, chemicals, additives, or things you can’t pronounce.
Here’s all you need to make this almond flour crackers recipe:
- Blanched almond flour – People sometimes ask what kind of almond flour to use for these keto crackers. I recommend a finely ground, blanched almond flour like this one. You could try an almond meal, but the texture will be different.
- Egg – The egg acts as the binder for these almond meal crackers.
- Sea salt – Adds savory flavor to the low carb keto crackers. (Salt is not usually counted by convention since everyone always has it, so this recipe is considered 2 ingredients.)
If you’ve been eating keto, paleo or gluten-free for any length of time, you probably have these ingredients for this gluten-free crackers recipe at home right now. And if you don’t, run to the grocery store and get them, because you can use the ingredients for tons of other low carb recipes (and paleo recipes). And while you’re out, grab the ingredients for your favorite low carb dip to go with them.
How To Make Keto Crackers
This low carb almond crackers recipe takes less than 30 minutes! Here’s how to make keto crackers in 3 easy steps:
- Mix up the paleo crackers recipe dough. You can make the dough for these almond flour crackers in a food processor, or stir the dough by hand in a bowl. Just mix the almond flour and salt (and other herbs or spices if you prefer) together, and then add in the beaten egg. It will be crumbly.
- Shape the keto crackers. Place the no carb crackers dough in between two layers of parchment paper and roll it into a rectangle shape. Then, just cut the almond flour crackers keto dough into rectangles.
TIP #2: Prick each cracker with a fork or toothpick. This helps them cook more evenly and prevents bubbling.
- Bake the low carb homemade crackers until golden brown.
TIP: Watch them closely toward the end – they go from crisp to burned a bit quickly.
That’s it! Be sure to check the tips below for perfect almond crackers.
Tips For The Best Low Carb Crackers Recipe
- The easiest way to handle the almond crackers dough is by oiling your hands just a little bit. This will prevent sticking. It’s not required, but worth a try if you find the dough sticky to work with.
- Make sure to roll out the dough to an even thickness – the thinner, the better! Uniform thickness ensures that your paleo crackers cook evenly, and rolling them extra thin ensures that they get crispy.
- When rolling out the dough, your goal is a rectangle, but it usually rolls out into an oval, so you may need to cut away some dough and re-attach it. You can do this as many times as you need to.
- Let the carb free crackers cool completely before handling. They need to cool to crisp up.
Optional Additions To This Almond Flour Crackers Recipe
Feel free to add your own spices for a totally unique twist.
- Toasted sesame seeds or poppy seeds would make yummy almond crackers.
- Chopped herbs: rosemary, basil, and parsley would all be good for a savory low carb cracker.
- Italian with some garlic and Italian seasoning.
- Mediterranean with some basil and sun dried tomatoes diced up and baked in.
- Sweet! Yes, you can even make this keto crackers recipe sweet! Simply add your favorite keto friendly sweetener, some vanilla or almond extract, and maybe sprinkle with cinnamon. (You’ll only need a couple tablespoons of sweetener, max – don’t add too much or the dough will be too dry.) And then try dipping them in whipped mascarpone cream dip… mmmm.
What Do Almond Flour Crackers Taste Like?
One of the best parts about this low carb gluten free crackers recipe is that it doesn’t sacrifice taste.
No cardboard tasting substitutes for you! These low carb almond thins taste very similar to your favorite name brand buttery treats, but are just a little more dense. They have incredible crunch and sturdiness, just like a good cracker should. So, go ahead and enjoy ‘em with your favorite topping or scooped into a yummy, creamy dip.
How To Store Paleo Crackers
Another great thing about my keto friendly crackers is that they can be made ahead of time. Store them in an airtight container to eat in a few days or over the course of a week (but only if you can resist eating them all at once!).
TIP: Let your almond flour crackers cool completely before storing them, or they will not stay crispy and will spoil faster.
Can You Freeze Almond Flour Crackers?
Yes, you can definitely freeze this paleo almond cracker recipe! After they are cooled completely, store them in a freezer bag or freezer container.
Line the layers with parchment paper to help protect them and handle them with care so they stay together.

I had that issue as well. Now I make sure that after I’ve combined all of the ingredients, I finish mixing it with my hand, effectively kneading it into a more compacted “batter”. Shape that into as square a pile as you can, roll, trim edges, cut. Re-roll the cuttings and repeat.
These crackers are *the bomb*. I put Italian Seasoning in them most of the time, but have also done them middle-eastern style with cumin, anise, and cardamom. Or try a little cayenne if you like a spicy kick.
Sandy
Hi, I also just joined your seven day trial for the meal plan. It’s pretty amazing and very flexible and believe me I’ve been looking for awhile. Anyway about the Almond Crackers, the recipe called for two cups of almond meal, one egg and salt. I’m glad that I listened to my intuition and only used one cup of almond meal and gratefully they worked out fine. Best wishes, Sandy
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Sandy, So glad you are enjoying the meal plan! If you did actually use almond meal and not almond flour, then you were right to cup the amount down to 1 cup. Using almond flour will come together in a dough that is easier to roll and slice. Enjoy!
Kathy
Just trying to eat cleaner and omg these are the bomb! So simple
Lillian
I could not keep this dough together to roll it out into strips no matter what I did. The minute I started to roll it out, it started crumbling. It needs some more of a binding ingredient. I ended up cutting them out with a miniature biscuit cutter. The taste is nice. I think I will pop with sesame seeds the next time. I was recently put on a keto diet because I am borderline diabetic. I love everything carb and dislike proteins. I am really struggling with this diet. I was hoping these crackers would help me get through this, since I love to snack. Would adding a little oil help keep this dough together?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Lillian, What size egg did you use? If you use anything smaller than large chicken eggs, then you will need to use 2.
Shirley
I made these, they are pretty good, I love to snack with them and to add a slice of beef stick with cheese on them for a snack. I have added different spices to them too. Love your recipes. Thank you! Shirley
Sandy
Hi, silly question, but at which point do you remove the layers of parchment you used for rolling? I imagine for baking, you only use the parchment on the pan?? Thank you.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Sandy, Once the dough is rolled out to the desired thickness, remove the top layer of parchment and then slice into individual crackers. You will bake on one of these layers of parchment to keep the crackers from sticking to the pan. I hope this helps!
sonia ottusch
I knew from experience that your recipes are spot on. Thank you! So for my first attempt at your recipe, I wanted to approximate a keto oreo cookie. First, your recipe is excellent! Feeling lazy, I didn’t want to have to use and wash my Cuisinart food processor parts (I have bad arthritis), so I tried a whisk and mixing bowl. I subbed out some of the almond flour for baking cocoa and black cocoa, added vanilla and a couple of tablespoons of monk fruit sweetener. You weren’t kidding on the need to knead the dough! The dough was at first crumbly when I rolled it, so I kneaded the dough a lot, a lot more, and then it rolled out more easily. My Wolf oven took 10 minutes to bake the 28 cookies. The cookies upon cooling were crisp! They tasted fantastic! You’re amazing! Thank you!!!
Dorothy Monk
I love these crackers , lovely and crispy and so easy to make!!!!! I have made other crackers with seeds etc but they all take so long 40 minutes one gas mark 35 minutes lower gas mark leave in oven with door open for further 15 minutes etc etc etc. But these are done in 12 minutes with no fuss, Fab
Megan
I loved these because they stayed crisp for a week. I’ve made the cheese crackers but they go soft and bendy after being stored.
Nupura Halbe
Can I use a flax egg instead? And how much ?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Nupura, Yes, a flax egg will work in this recipe. There is only one egg in the recipe, so you will only need a single flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed meal, 3 tbsp water). Enjoy!
Sue
Just made these today for the first time. They are delicious and so easy. I tried a variation on the 2nd batch, adding a little parmesan and garlic powder. This flavor is also good, as well as the original salt flavor. Thank you so much for this great recipe.
Sharon Morris
Oh my goodness, flawless. I was craving crackers and this hit the spot and because of the almond flour you also get that nutty flavour. I used 2 smaller eggs and the recipe worked perfectly for me. I’m eating one now with cheese, scrummy.
Beth Frock
Mine came out very crumbly, I had a hard time getting then to be dough but rolled them out as best I could. Although they taste great they are not holding together after being cooked. Should I have added more egg?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Beth, More than one egg should not be necessary unless you buy medium eggs, then you may need two. Did you happen to view the video? The dough starts out very crumbly until it gets worked together.
Anji
I just made two batches of these. The first one I think I used to much flour – it was very crumbly. The second batch I spooned the flour into the measuring cup and then leveled it with a knife – the dough was perfect!
Christina
These were pretty tasty. I was pleasantly surprised since it had so few ingredients. I did have to add about 1/2 an egg more than what it called for. I put everything bagel seasoning on my crackers. Checked them after 10 minutes and they weren’t done enough. Cooked an additional 4 minutes and they came out golden brown and crispy.
Tramia
Wow these are absolutely Delicious!! I cant believe it…I add 2 pinches of sea salt, garlic parsley salt, basil and oregano…Amazing I came out with garlic herb crackers that would give Kebbler a run for their money!! I’m paring them with the cream cheese bacon green onion ball. This should be a treat!
Patti
We don’t really do Keto, but we do try to eat healthy! Soup is on the menu often, and saltines are soooo full of bad stuff!! When I found this recipe I was anxious to try it. Success!!! Even my husband likes them. I just made my second batch, and here’s what I’ve learned: I prefer them a little thicker than 1/16, so they take a few minutes more to bake and are not quite as crispy. With this batch, I brushed the top with melted butter and sprinkled some salt over them when they were finished baking. Much better….just that little added flavor that they need. I am very anxious to add sugar to the next batch and then sprinkle them with cinnamon. Sounds yummy!
Jane C
I made these and added Italian Seasoning and garlic powder and they are soooo yummy! Thank you for the recipe 😀
Lynn
Wow! I have to say this recipe is #1!!!! I’ve tried making all kinds of Keto recipes and typically they disappoint, too eggy tasting, weird texture, etc. BUT your crackers rock!!!! I added Trader Joe “Everything” spice mix instead of salt (1 Tablespoon) so they crackers were uber tasty and I LOVE the crunch. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Finally, a cracker to go with all of the healthy spreads I like to make!
gina
I really loved these. I took them to work and shared them and your link. do they have to be refrigerated if you don’t use in a couple of days?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Gina, These are best stored at room temperature.
Sophie
I was just wondering what these tasted like. I want to try these, but I would want to know the flavour first because almond flour typically makes things a bit sweet.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Sophie, These crackers are more neutral than they are sweet. They have a slight salted almond flavor.
Holly A Williams
Hi just checking can you use coconut flour with this recipe instead of the almond flour?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Holly, Coconut flour won’t work in this recipe, but I do have a recipe for Fathead Coconut Crackers here.
Geno
What an easy and awesome recipe! I only had almond meal from Trader Joe’s on hand, so I pulsed it a few times in the food processor before adding the egg. First batch came out incredible, can’t wait to play around with it more! I added cayenne, garlic and tomato powders and cut them into one inch squares—baked them in what is basically a fancy toaster oven, it was so easy, savory and delicious! Thanks for the great recipe!
Stacy
It’s too salty.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Stacy, Sorry this recipe didn’t suit your tastes. The amount of salt can always be scaled back in the recipe. I hope you decide to give these a try again with less salt, as they are a great keto cracker.
Karen B
I am new to Keto and purchased one of your cookbooks. I was reluctant to try the recipes but I made this as my first attempt. I LOVE THEM. I will have these all summer. I will never feel like I am missing regular crackers or chips. I will have these with dip or alone. Thank you for the time and effort you put into your books and the website. I have The Wholesome Yum easy Keto Cookbook. If there are others you have please recommend them. BTW I added a little garlic to my crackers. Next I will add the parm. Thanks again!
Kelli Rogers
What a delicious and simple recipe – bravo! We are really enjoying your website as new low carbers – thank you for being an excellent resource. I ground a little over a cup of pecans, added some pepper and grilled them in my tortilla maker. Super tasty and easy peasy.
Elaine
These crackers are delicious! I made them exactly as the recipe instructed. I didn’t find them too salty but was thinking some fresh cracked pepper would be a great addition. I can’t wait to try a second batch with some dried herbs and spices. Thank you so much!!
KetoOB
I plan to try this today! Have you ever tried adding a sweetener and cinnamon to this recipe to get a sort of graham cracker?? Seems like a great base recipe!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi KetoOB, It sounds like you would be interested in this recipe for Sugar-Free Gluten-Free Grahm Crackers!
Jazzy
Kinda salty but really enjoyed these! I am only a week into a low carb diet and struggling to find easy recipes. I’m excited to try flavoring my next batch.
Thanks !
Jane S W
Uh… Did I miss where you say what temperature to bake these at? Just says bake and keep an eye on them… But no temp/time. Should I guess 350 for 12 minutes? Is that about right? Thanks.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Jane, Full instructions are in the recipe card, but yes, bake at 350 degrees F for 8-12 minutes.
Lauren S
These came out great! I added a tablespoon of olive oil and tablespoon of dried parsley. When they came out of the oven (15 mins) I spritzed more olive oil and lightly salted them.
Patty
Excellent! I added bagel seasoning seed mix and a little olive oil to help it come together. Thanks for your inspiration!
Rita C Burson
Hi, I’ve looked several times and can’t find measurements for the almond flour or any of eggs. Didn’t look for temp or time.
Wholesome Yum M

I can’t use Almond flour; can I use some other non-nut flour?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Jim, Can you use coconut flour? If so, you may be interested in this recipe for Fathead Crackers with coconut flour.
Kelly
Just made these. I missed crackers so much and went searching for a recipe. This is SO SIMPLE I had to try. I am so glad I did….they are fresh out of the oven and even though I know they need to cool I couldn’t resist a try. SOOO GOOOOOD!!!! I can’t wait to experiment a bit…perhaps a bit of fresh rosemary and a little garlic. OR cracked pepper…. seriously. This is so much better than I even imagined. Thank you!
Christine Cole
Easy and delicious. I brushed melted butter on the crackers before baking and sprinkled garlic seasoning on them, then baked. The variations are endless. Thanks!
Arlene
Just finished baking my batch, which I think I made a bit too large so didn’t result in as many crackers, but they are very tasty and making them was not overwhelming, even for me, a non-baker!! I doubted my adeptness at rolling them out, but I watched your video and noticed yours looked much the same as mine so I guess I did ok.
I didn’t separate mine before baking, just baked them all together in a large square, which meant they didn’t brown all the way around the cracker but still taste nice. I was afraid they’d fall apart if I tried moving them off of the parchment.
At first it seemed a lot of bother for some crackers, but now that I’m done, it was actually kind of fun and with so few ingredients and next to no clean-up, I think I’ll double the recipe and keep these little babies on hand for a very satisfying crunchy/salty snack! Thanks so much!!
Lucy Nunn
Love these crackers! I roll them out between two sheets of parchment and don’t have any trouble with sticking. I then fold up the sheets for the next time. So far, so great with chicken or tuna salad as an after school snack.
Dana
Very good thanks .. and easy
Chris
These were so simple to make and were delicious . Will be making again
Mickale
Hello, I just ran across your recipe while searching for keto graham cracker recipes, do you think it would be possible to add some erythritol to this recipe to make a sweet cracker similar to a graham cracker and if so how much per batch? Thanks any help is appreciated.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Mickale, I do have a recipe for Keto Graham Crackers!
Cookie
The easiest crackers ever! I added basil and Himalayan salt!
Kristi Levin
The thing I miss most while I ‘doing keto’ is a good crunch- other than celery and nuts, and these definitely do the job. I guess I didn’t roll them out exactly evenly- the thicker ones are good, but the thin ones almost taste and feel like real crackers! Thank you- I will recommend your site and make these again!
Jiselle
Wow! Just wow! Who needs carb filled crackers! These are perfect!
terry
I was really pleased at how well these little crackers turned out. I omitted the salt (low sodium diet) and add pepper and a1/2 tsp greek spice. My family loves them.
Melody S
Will these crackers be like regular saltines if you put them in soup?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Melody, These crackers do not have to same texture of saltines. They are more dense and will not crumble or absorb the soup like saltines do.
Deanna
Absolutely love this recipe- added garlic garlic season and they are amazing. Also made a sweet version with ginger and clove dipped in almond or pecan butter for a treat!
Karla
I think 2 cups of almond flour is too much for 1 egg. It was very crumbly and hard to roll thin. When I tried pricking them they cracked
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Karla, If you buy medium eggs, you may need to add a second one. Otherwise one large or extra large egg will do the trick.
Paula
Wow, these are amazing. They are really, really good crackers. The recipe is easy to make. It took less time than going to the store and buying crackers. I’m truly impressed with how delicious these are. I can’t wait to try the different variations suggested.
Diane
I also had issue with crumbling… and I only buy large eggs. IDK…. I mixed with a wooden spoon and gave up and mixed with my hands to even form a dough. Are you supposed to use a mixer? I know it said you can use a food processor. Maybe I will try that next time. They taste great but don’t look like yours! lol
Mia B.
Simple and delicious! I just made these to go with my spinach artichoke dip. So amazing!!! All I added was everything bagel seasoning. Thank u so much!!!
Kate
These are really easy to make and very tasty! If you don’t eat any kind of grain (like me) you probably haven’t had a cracker for a while, and you might be skeptical that you could make/eat one that would taste good. Simply amazing! Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe!
David Rebidoux
Very nice. Just made these tonight. Was seriously not expecting this result. Super good…..little salty but can be individualized. Totally a go to. Thanks so much. Also just so you know I never rate. Never have been partial this evaluation stuff.
Emilie
I’ve been so intimidated by cracker recipes that’s I’ve avoided them the last year! Then I saw someone make these on fb and post the link so I had to try it, especially when it only requires 2 ingredients! I added everything but the bagel seasoning and they’re so tasty!! I packed them for work tomorrow and plan on putting a little cream cheese with a slice of cucumber on top! Yum!
Kristen Wood
I love how super easy these sound!!
Cheryl
First of all, I hate to bake. But I have been craving some crackers, so I thought I’d try these. Holy mackerel!!! So easy and taste great!!! Thanks so much for this recipe!!!
Karen
I can’t wait to try this with salmon dip! Thanks for the recipe!
SHANIKA
I’ve never made Homemade crackers, but this recipe looks so easy! I can’t believe that these are Keto! So good!
Renee | The Good Hearted Woman
What a great Keto option! You gotta have some crunch, and having an easy, reliable recipe is key. Thanks!
Emily Liao
These crackers are the best to snack on and I love how they are low-carb! Great way to start the new year.
Anita
Oh these are delicious. It’s hard to believe that these crackers literally only need 3 ingredients to make!
Sandra
This was a huge hit at my house! I loved it!
April Leger
The first time I made these, I followed the recipe as it is written and I thought they were very tasty, but my husband, who is diabetic, and doesn’t get to eat crackers much, thought they needed something more. So, I made them again yesterday and this time added fresh garlic, fresh organic rosemary, and fresh organic thyme. Well, my husband loved them! I thought they were really good too! I am so glad to be able to make these for him to have a healthy snack that he enjoys eating. Thank you for creating such a simple, easy-to-follow recipe that tastes amazing!
Christy
I just made 90 crackers! These are pretty good. I will be making them again. I really need to get a lower carb flour. Mine were 1/2 carb each. These will be excellent with a high fat dip.
Alexis
I honestly am always wary of trying recipes where every comment is positive because unfortunately, some people are dishonest and pay for reviews. But holy cow. I haven’t had crackers in almost a year. My expectations were super low. These crackers absolutely blew my mind. I’m seriously considering buying a $40 bag of almond flour when it took me months to go through my $10 bag from the grocery store. I would eat these every day if I could. I added chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano to mine and Im making your crab dip tomorrow or Saturday to spread on them. I feel like this is almost a religious experience. Thank you so much for this recipe!
I also use your jalapeno popper recipe and love it too by the way. You are an absolute gem. I’ve been keto since April, 52 lbs down, and wouldn’t have been able to stick to it if it weren’t for the snacks you’ve helped me make. Thank you.
Sheila
How many crackers per serving?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Sheila, It’s about 5 crackers but depends on the size you make them. Either way it’s equivalent to 1/6 of the entire recipe.
Oleta
5 crackers per serving
Susan
I made the recipe as published. After I mixed up the ingredients I kneaded the dough for a minute to bring it together. I broke off golf ball sized pieces, flattened each piece into a disk, then used my tortilla press to press them thin, poked all over with a fork, scored into eighths, placed the parchment sheets with the dough on a cookie sheet, baked for 7 minutes at 350 F. (2400 ft altitude). This made them lightly golden, barely browned at the edges. Cooled on racks. Nice crispy texture. Next time I’ll add some kind of herbs or spices, maybe reduce the salt and use some Parmesan. Thank you for the recipe and to all the tips in the comments!
Joam
These look delicious, but your link to print does work. I keep getting another page when I click the print option.
Wholesome Yum A
Hi Joan, I just tested this button and the page pulled up fine. Perhaps try a different browser?
Betty
Love this recipe! It is soooo good, thank you!
Jennie
I made these once so far… my cracker-hating, non low carb adherant husband went absolutely gaga over them. I did add 1 Tbsp finely grated Parmesan cheese and some garlic powder to the mix. Thank you Maya!
Linda
Love these crackers… I layer a thin slice of parmesan cheese, topped with an oily sun dried tomato… so delish!
Donna Hodges
I made these last night, but they didn’t taste good to me and I believe they may have been a little too thick, as they didn’t really crisp up. I had a thinner one that turned crispy which was better. I am going to make them again and get the dough as thin as possible, and add some spices to add a taste to them.
Carol
How much almond flour, egg, and sea salt do I put in? There’s no directions on the temperature and stuff. I’m new to keto and I want to make crackers but I’m so confused.

I made these with Almond meal, as I didn’t have almond flour. Don’t look like the picture, but super delicious!!!! Had them with cracked pepper pate. SO Yummy!!! (I put a sprinkling of sesame seeds in the mixture before baking too.)
Joanne
I have made this many times and it’s perfect every time!
Tisha
My first time making keto crackers and these were so easy and crunchy and nutty. I added some Everything But the Bagel seasoning to it and it’s just perfect! So happy I found these. Now I can really enjoy homemade charcuterie boards again 🙂
Sue Spencer
These crackers were fantastic! Lovely and flavorful. So grateful to have this recipe. The options for making them savory or sweet are endless! Well done. Thank you!
Karin
Can you make the dough ahead of time, freeze and/ or fridge? I understand it would make rolling the dough hard, but sometimes I only have a few minutes to get something done, so stages help!
Wholesome Yum
Hi Karin, I haven’t tried that but you could probably refrigerate this for a few hours with no problems. Add a few minutes to the baking time and keep an eye on them for doneness.
Lynda Savage
This is the easiest most reliable and excellent tasting recipe yet. I make a batch weekly
Marc
Made these for the first time per the recipe just as an experiment. I was pleasantly surprised on how good they tasted and will be making these again very soon with added seasonings. Thank you for sharing!
Sarah
Do you think using almond butter instead of egg would work?
Wholesome Yum L
Hi Sarah. I’m not sure about how that would turn out. Let me know if you try it.
Toni Marie
These are the cats meow! I added 1/4 tsp. Garlic powder, 1/2 tsp. Greek seasoning. They are out of this world with fresh feta cheese. Thank you so much! Best recipe ever as I’ve been dying for something to eat with my cheese.
Bill
Made it as directed except added maybe 1 tsp of water. Put a little sea salt on top plus rosemary leaves and brushed with melted butter. Took longer to brown up but I think our oven runs low
Kyle S
WoW! Terrific and easy recipe. Added some Penzey’s Summer in Paris spice to the dough along with sprinkling the top with an herbed salt. Delish!
Jayne
I love this cracker recipe. Now I can have crackers with my tunaI! I add a little bit of rosemary to it and they are great.
Nicole
These are sooooo GOOD!!!! I was craving something crunchy to eat my egg and chicken salads on! Perfect combination! I added 1 tsp of monkfruit sweetener for a hint of sweetness. Yum, yum, yum! Thank you!
Michelle
Crackers turned out perfect! After 12 minutes they were still light in color so I simply turned off the oven and watched them until they were perfectly golden. Before putting them in the oven I sprayed the rolled out dough with olive oil and then used an old children’s plastic building block toy to make perfectly sized square crackers. I then slid the parchment paper directly onto the baking rack and viola! Now to find the perfect spread to go with these delightfully tasty crackers.
Stacy Montero
This was my first attempt at keto crackers. I made them as written. I used a round cookie cutter after rolling out to 1/16″ thickness. I removed the crackers from the oven as they browned. They have the crispiness of shortbread and a mild, nutty flavor. They were exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!
Kathy
Have you made them with coconut flour? I don’t use almond.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Kathy, No, but you can try these coconut flour crackers instead.
Debi
Love these! The first time I made them, I decided to try half a batch to see if I liked them or not. However I made a mistake and I added the whole egg and the full amount of salt. They turned out great, I just baked them a bit longer. Then I made them the correct way. Well, I liked the double egg, double salt way better. So now I make them using double the eggs & salt. I find that the dough is easier to roll out thin. I also sprinkle with himalayan pink salt on top. I have sprinkled with parmesan cheese and they are yummy. I just made a batch with some dried italian seasoning mixed into the batter and they came out very tasty. It is very hard to roll out the entire dough to an even thickness, so I watch them carefully while baking and remove the outer edge ones as they brown and continue to let the center ones bake longer.
Karen
Just found this and I’m not sure just how large to make the crackers. Since I can only have 5 g net carbs at this point (only every 5 hours) I definitely need to know how large to make the crackers. Thanks.
Iain Clark
Just made my first batch of crackers. I must confess, I added a small handful of grated mozzarella to the mix to add tad extra dimension
Bee
I have made these crackers twice. Both times, the dough was so only I could literally squeeze it and have oil come out. This second time, over 1/4 of oil came out. I used Costco brand almond flour and fine sea salt, with one egg. No other ingredients. The first time they were inedible, the second batch is in the oven now. Crossing fingers!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Bee, It sounds like the dough was over-mixed, did you use a food processor? If you mix it too much in something powerful like a food processor, the nut flour can turn into nut butter and the oil can separate.
Sher
Wow! Super easy, super delicious! As usual, I can’t make anything “straight from the recipe”, I always have to tweak it. 😉
For my first shot at these I used 1/2 cup of almond meal and 1-1/2 cups of almond flour, and instead of rolling them out and cutting them into squares, I instead used my cast-iron tortilladora, aka tortilla press. I made 6 balls by pressing and rolling them a bit in my hands to form them, pressed them into circles and l then cut the circles into 6 triangles. Absolutely fantastic!
And as a bonus, I was able to get 36 crackers out of the recipe instead of just 30 which is great because I can’t stop eating them! 😀
Angela
The simplicity of this recipe I why I chose it for my first attempt at making crackers. So very easy and so very yummy!!!
Shawna
Made the crackers this morning. I don’t know how crunchy they’re supposed to be but mine weren’t that crunchy. I baked them for at least 15 minutes also. Maybe I need to go much thinner with rolling them out and smaller cracker size. I’ll let you know how my second batch works out. We made the crab cakes last night for dinner. They were FABULOUS!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Shawna, Yes, you probably needed to roll them thinner to be crunchy. Hope the next batch works out. I’m glad you liked the crab cakes!
Nancy Owens
The one thing I really miss on a low carb diet is crackers. These did not disappoint . In fact they are to good. My daughter and I have eaten the whole recipe up in 2 days! At 226 calories a serving I’m going to be in trouble with portion control. I added some garlic and everything but the bagel seasoning which made them even yummier. Thank you for such an easy recipe.
Kass
I made these today, added Italian seasoning, and loved them. Cut them out with small cookie cutter. I wondered if they can be frozen.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Kass! Yes, you can freeze them if you’d like.
Marcella Smith
I have tried other cracker recipes and failed at the rolling out stage. I always made them too big. Your idea of using a cookie cutter might be my solution. I have a set of very small cookie cutters in the shape of leaves that I am going to try with this. Thanks for the idea, and hopefully it will help me with my heavy handed, clumsy crackers I attempted before! Thanks for the recipe, Wholesome yum! P.S. I don’t want to mess up any good rating, so I am giving it 5 stars before I try it.
Cathy B
How much swerve should I use to make these sweet?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Cathy, The max you could add is maybe 1-2 tablespoons, any more than that and the dough would be too dry/crumbly to stay together. A better alternative might be adding a concentrated sweetener like pure stevia or pure monk fruit, so that it won’t change the wet/dry ratio of the dough.
Stephanie
Oh man, I struggled with this recipe. I live in a very dry climate, and this dough crumbled like CRAZY. I did add about 2 tbs of butter, which helped a little. I’m guessing I’ll have to toy with this one, maybe adding water or almond milk to moisten. Whatever the reason for my struggle, I do NOT blame Maya! Her recipes are always amazing. This is just life in Colorado. If the dryness doesn’t kill your recipe, the altitude will lol.
Marijane Kendall
I have made these a couple of times, and except for the time to roll them out to a reasonable and fairly even thickness, it is a breeze to whip up. And they are very tasty. My non-keto friends like them, too. Especially with cheese ball. Last time I made them, I decided to do cutouts. I used a small round glass for my cutter. It was pretty time consuming because I had to keep rerolling the dough. But the end result was a more uniform size and heater looking cracker. They reminded me of vanilla wafers. Which brought to mind: could these be sweetened, and add vanilla flavoring for a kind of vanilla wafer. Have you thought of trying this? I might give it a shot with a small batch to see what happens. Anyway, thanks for all your easy, simple, and delish recipes.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Marijane, Yes, you could add a little sweetener and vanilla. However, I wouldn’t add more than 1-2 tbsp of granulated sweetener, because the dough would get too dry. Drops of concentrated stevia or monk fruit might work better to avoid changing the dough consistency.
Kate
Made as directed and yum! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Lisa
I didn’t like these. They’re like little cardboard squares. I tried cooking them a bit longer to get them crispier, but they burned. So I don’t know what I did wrong! There are so many positive reviews it had to be something I did. 🙁
Wholesome Yum A
Hi Lisa, it sounds like you may not have rolled the dough thin enough. See the recipe video for more guidance on how it should look.
Inge
Fantastic recipe, I can’t believe how well it worked!
Lisa Stern
Great recipe! I added Everything But the Bagel seasoning from Trader Joe’s. Baked longer than recommended because I didn’t roll the dough thin enough. Delicious!
Thank you
Zoe
Added parm & poppyseed & baked extra long, these are amazing! Thank you so much for posting this recipe! Now I can have my pepperoni & American crackers & not go over my carbs <3
Dean Jackson
Excellent. These crackers are a regular part of my new keto life style.
Eileen Pheiffer
I’m so glad I found your website. These crackers were easy to make and they are delicious. I look forward to trying your other recipes. Next up, the Keto bagels! Thanks for saving me lots of money — buying GF Keto crackers requires an investment!
Gail
I wonder if a dehydrated would help make them crunchy?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Gail, They already come out pretty crunchy if you bake them long enough, so that isn’t really necessary. But I’m sure you could put them in a dehydrator after baking if you really want to.
Bonnie
LOVE THEM!!!! They are hard to stop eating.. that’s the only downfall with them.. you don’t want to stop.. I keep a close track on my carbs so I have to keep myself in check.. pffttt.. they are worth all of my daily carb limit!!! 😀 <3 THANK YOU!!
Becky Wiggs
I haven’t made these yet, but have a question before I do. I make meat loaf and meatballs with crumbled saltine crackers, but now my husband has to go low (almost no) carb. I am trying to make a low carb alternative that would work like crackers when I crumble them to add to my meat. I have tried just coconut flour and flax seed meal, and the meatballs didn’t stay together. I also tried pork rinds, but they make the meatloaf taste bacony. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Becky, I don’t think these particular crackers would work well in meatballs or a meatloaf. I recommend you try these low carb meatballs instead.
Tammy
I used these crackers the last time I made meatloaf and it was delicious. Much better than using pork rinds. I actually blended them in the food processor for a few seconds before I added them instead of crunching them up.
Evelene B
I don’t know if you like mushrooms but I finely dice up baby portabello mushrooms and replace them 1:1 for bread crumbs and add 1 tbsp italian seasoning. The mushrooms hold the meatloaf or meatballs together great and you will seriously not be able to tell the bread is missing!
Jen
Try using crushed up pork rinds…works bread as a bread/cracker crumb substitute!
Sk
Mine dont get crunchy the next day. Any suggestion? I would really need it to stay crunchy for days if possible 🙁
Maya | Wholesome Yum
It could be due to a humid environment or if they weren’t baked long enough. No worries though – you can pop them back in the oven at a low temperature (like 250 or 300 degrees) to crisp them up.
Dirk
Question – total net carbs per serving?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Dirk, The nutrition info is on the recipe card above. These have 4g net carbs per serving.
Ginny Shelby
Made these to serve with a keto jalapeño cranberry dip. They were perfect. Next time will sprinkle a bit of salt on top. Perfect replacement for triscuits! Thanks so much☺
Rhonda
Do you have the keto jalapeño cranberry dip recipe, by chance, to share? Thanks!
Emily
So good. I love how you can add almost anything to suit your taste for these. Even my kids love them
About how many ounces per serving? Just curious because I can never seem to get cut them right to where 5 crackers is 1/6th of the batch
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Emily! I don’t have the weight of a serving, but if you wanted to know, you can weigh the entire batch and divide that by 6.
Kathy
Hi Maya, we are just beginning this journey of keto/paleo and the one problem I am running into is the almond or nut flour replacing regular and wheat flour. My son is highly allergic to tree nuts. Is there anything we would be able to use in place of the almond/nut flours?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Kathy, It depends on the recipe. Often times you can replace almond flour with sunflower seed meal, but you’d be able to taste the sunflower seed flavor. That’s the case with this recipe – you can replace it but they would taste like sunflower seed crackers.
Liz
These are so good. I added just a pinch of garlic powder, and a tablespoon of grated parmesan. Then I sprayed lightly with olive oil, sprinkled just a bit of Stevie and sea salt on top. Awesome. Really enjoyed, and so easy to make.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thanks for sharing with us, Liz!
Deborah
I love these crackers! It was so easy to make too.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Deborah!
Lisa Peterson
Oh. My. GODDDD! I have Multiple Sclerosis, & my son is somewhat an expert on Keto (sadly, he has Crohn’s & had 1 1/2 feet of his small intestines removed… Long story long, he’s changing his microbiome for his health. I’m a newbie & doing it for health & weight loss. Sooo, he made me your crackers & they were to die for! I plan on trying all of your recipes! Can’t wait to try the chicken pate & crab on them! I haven’t even looked at the other recipes… YET! Thank you so much for making my diet-change so fun & DELICIOUS! Most definitely Wholesome yum!
Gratefully yours,
~Lisa Peterson
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked it, Lisa! Have a great day!
Liz Raimo
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I don’t often want crackers however with soup season upon us, I tend to eat them more.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Liz! Hope you enjoy them.
Deborah
Can ground flax seed and water be used as an egg substitute in this recipe? Thank you.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Deborah, I haven’t tried this particular recipe with flax eggs, but it might hold together a little less well. Let me know if it works for you!
Therese Bizabishaka
Hi. If you wanted to make a cheese cracker could you add parmasan cheese or would that change the consistency?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Therese, Yes, you could add Parmesan, but it would change the consistency if you add it inside the crackers. You could try sprinkling it on top and pressing into the top so that it sticks. If you want it in the crackers, you’d need to experiment – they might be less crisp and you might need another egg depending on how much you add.
Wanda
How long can you store them?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Wanda, They store for a long time in an airtight container. Maybe a few weeks? I’ve never had them go bad before eating them, so don’t have an exact timeline, but have had them for a couple weeks without issues.
Doreen Elsesser
I just made these. This is my first adventure with almond flour. I added 2 tbsp of Everything but the bagel mixture from Trader Joe’s. Yummy! Next time I will roll them thinner. I can’t wait to try them with some Laughing cow cheese.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Adding Laughing Cow Cheese sounds like a great idea, Doreen!
Diane Smith
These crackers TASTE very good, With soup? Yum!
It’s very difficult to get the dough just exactly the same thickness all around, but that is essential for even browning. And they must not be rolled too thinly either.
And parchment paper is the only way to go!
Aimee
Thank you so much for this recipe, these are delicious! We were so sick of the ubiquitous seed crackers that seemed to be the only other option.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked the crackers, Aimee! Have a great day!
Sue Herbert
These were delicious! I do have a question however. How did you arrive at the 216 calorie count? My Bob’s Red Mill Fine Almond Flour has 80 Calories per 2 Tablespoons. That made my pancakes over 600 calories. Thanks for your help!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Sue, I’m glad you liked them. The nutrition info for individual ingredients comes from the USDA Food Database, these are summed up and divided by the number of servings. The nutrition info listed is the amount per serving and the serving size is listed as well.
Jill L.
Made today for first time, followed recipe exactly. SO delicious with chive and onion cream cheese. Now I just need to find a source of almond flour because I can see making these a lot. My family loved them as well. Thank you!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy to hear that, Jill! Thanks for stopping by!
Ronnie Macdonald
I made these this evening, added a bit of ground cumin, ginger and a little ground garlic. The texture, crunch and taste is something i have been missing.Results better than expectations.
5* this is exactly what i have been looking for.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked the crackers, Ronnie! Thanks for stopping by!
Dee
Can I substitute Garbanzo Bean flour?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Dee, I haven’t tried, but if you try it, let us know how it goes. Keep in mind it wouldn’t be low carb or paleo, though.
Robin Gaynes
Do you offer any Keto friendly recipes for those who are allergic to Almonds? My husband cannot eat almonds but is okay with coconut, peanut, and cashew.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Robin, Yes, in the recipe index from the menu you’ll find a section for recipes with a nut-free option. For recipes that do have nuts, you can ask in the specific recipe because sometimes you can replace the almonds with other nuts he can have. These crackers can be made with ground macadamia or hazelnut flour if he can have those.
Terry
I tried this recipe today and I was so impressed with the flavor and texture of these crackers I had to submit a comment. As most of you Keto dieters know it’s hard to find a keto friendly substitute for a nice savory cracker. After being on the keto diet for almost 6 months trust me I have searched. Let me tell you, this recipe in my opinion is about as close as you can get to a real cracker. I jazzed mine up a bit by adding a dash of Allessi Italian seasoning. Even my family who isn’t on the keto diet loved them. I had to hide them to keep them from eating them all!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy to hear that, Terry! Thanks for stopping by!
Lisa Barber
Delicious!!!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Lisa!
Zoe D
Wow, these are amazing! Making my second batch now, and it’s a double

I just made these crackers today. So good. Thank you so much.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy to hear that, Gloria! Please come back again soon!
Dora
I found my favorite crackers recipe and the whole family loves them. For us, a little less salt is better. Thank you for the recipe. <3 5/5
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy the crackers were a hit with a whole family, Dora!
Lori
I would love to make these crackers. I was wondering why sea salt is used in the recipe. Is regular iodized salt okay? Thank you.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Lori, I like the benefits of sea salt, but regular iodized salt will work just fine. Hope you like the crackers!
Ms Washington
Made these today, they were awesome!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked the crackers! Thanks for stopping by!
Martha
This looks amazing. It always baffles me that you can make foods such as crackers that I never thought could be keto friendly. Well done.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Martha! Please come back again soon!
Amy H.
Just made these crackers – they are perfect for eating w/my pimento cheese! I can’t believe I just MADE these awesome square crackers! Thank you for sharing this recipe! Wish I could upload a pic (so proud of how perfectly they turned out).
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Amy! They sound delicious with pimento cheese. If you’re on Instagram, you can upload a photo there – tag me @wholesomeyumblog and use hashtag #wholesomeyum!
Denise McCartney
Brilliant! Just made them. So yummy. If I omitted the salt band added a little stevia and erythritol sachet it might be like a shortbread? Maybe that’s wishful thinking. Anyway thank you.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Denise! Yes, you could add some sweetener to make them sweet, just not too much because that would make the “dough” too dry and they wouldn’t hold together. If you’re looking for a shortbread cookie, you can try this recipe.
Anna Farmer
Thank you so much for this recipe! One of the hardest things about going Keto with a family is when the kids feel left out because they are eating differently! These blend right in with friends that are eating wheat thins, and made my youngest daughter very happy today 🙂
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy these crackers were kid-approved, Anna!
Popi
Hi would I be able to make them with coconut flour instead ?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Popi, Sorry, not this recipe, but it’s on my list to make coconut flour crackers.

Thanks so much for sharing this! This is now my go to recipe for almond cracker. I’ve made them several times, so easy and they taste great!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you so much, Wendy! They’re my go-to as well.
Lauren
I tried these last week because I have been trying to figure out homemade (and infinitely healthier) ”lunchables.” I used a cookie cutter to shape them into footballs and my boys loved them. Today I’m making some with a little garlic and chili powder to go with chili.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
What a fantastic idea to make them into shapes, Lauren! I am so happy you liked them!
Marijane Kendall
Hi Lauren, I noticed you said you did a football shape cracker. Did you use an actual cookie cutter? I ask because I made round crackers with a round glass for my cutter and had quite a bit of trouble getting the dough off the rim of the glass. Did you do something special to keep it from sticking to your cutter?
Charmaine Hoke
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RECIPE CLOUD BREAD N CRACKERS, 2 THINGS LOVE TO HAVE, MAKING SOON AS I GET THE FLOUR!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Charmaine! I really hope you like them! Thanks for stopping by!
Erin
I have been home with the flu for 5 days and I’m 5 weeks into keto. All I wanted was crackers! These were just perfect. I added a little dill, some extra sea salt, and a pinch of garlic powder so my stuffy nose could get a litte love. Thank you for this!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I hope you feel better, Erin! I am glad you enjoyed the crackers!
Mathi
I made them and I loved them, but my husband said they were too salty. Not surprising as he watches his sodium more than I do. I will lower the salt for his next time. Thanks for the great recipe I will definitely make more of them.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked the crackers, Mathi!
Linda
Hi Maya! well, I’ve made these crackers numerous times now, my husband loves them with cheese!, and one thing that I discovered that really pumps them up a bit is using Trader Joes seasoning called “Everything But the Bagel” on top. I’ve also had great success adding shredded parmesan cheese into the mixture, probably about 1/2 cup. I’m one of those who guesstimates when cooking, but somehow it manages to come out good! Thanks for all your great recipes! Variety is the spice of life and we need lots of that to stay on keto I think, I’ve been hanging in there for nine months now and its like second nature at this point, can’t even imagine eating pasta, donuts, or even rice anymore.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I love that seasoning, Linda! Thank you!
Helena
Just started a vegetarian keto diet and decided to make these. Of course my oven decided to call it quits after I’d made the dough! Instead I cooked them on a teppanyaki plate on the stove and they still turned out great! So yummy with cheese!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Oh wow, Helena! That’s good to know! Have a great day!
Louise
I added some Parmesan to the dough and brushed the tops with a bit of truffle oil. Paired with duck pate. Fabulous! Just a great substitute for regular bread or crackers!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I love that you brushed the tops with truffle oil, Louise! Great idea!
Kristi
Very successful recipe. I cut mine with a small cookie cutter to make rounds.
Thanks for another great recipe!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I love to hear that, Kristi! Thanks for stopping by!
DikoDakota
Exactly what I was looking for to complement my oven baked Brie & Nuts! Making half the recipe with Oregano (pair amazingly with the buttery taste of the brie). Being Keto isn’t keeping me from the good stuff! Thank you for that easy recipe!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked them! And they go perfectly with baked Brie!
Rachael K
What a great recipe! Super simple yet so delicious and versatile! I added a few teaspoons of Italian seasoning to the dough and then 3 teaspoons of Kirkland egg whites because it was a little too dry to mix. Once I had the crackers on the parchment linked baking sheet I spritzed the whole pan with a little olive oil and sprinkled it with sea salt. O! M! G! Fantastic! Thank you! I can’t wait to make them again.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I love that you added the Italian seasoning, Rachael! Yum!
Shawn
Quick question here. Parchment paper is not something i keep around the house. Could these be made without it or will the dough stick to the pan?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Shawn! Yes, you will need the parchment paper to prevent sticking. They sell them in grocery stores and even Target and Walmart. I hope this helps!
Ash
Are these any good in soup?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am sure they are delicious in soup, Ash! Try it and let me know 🙂
Lucy
I’ve just made these with LSA instead of almond flour (1 cup seemed sufficient). Taste great and have a nice cracker feel to them 🙂 Thanks for another amazing recipe!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked them, Lucy!
Sarah
Wow. Super easy to make and tasty! Even has a cracker-like/cookie texture. Looks similar to pita chips and can hold up to spreads and dips. But I wouldn’t use it as a scoop b/c it might break.
My mom thought it tasted cheesy; I think it tastes slightly buttery.
The batter was super sticky. It’s easiest to use your hands to mix the batter, but it def gets messy. Tried a dif cracker recipe (psyllium, coconut oil, coconut milk, flax) and it was too dry and gritty.
Overall, this is the BEST cracker recipe hands down. Thank you!!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked it, Sarah! Thanks for stopping by!
Wanda
These were the BEST CRACKERS I have made since being on KETO. I made the simple recipe, 2 cups almond flour and one egg. But when I sifted the almond flour, in one batch I added in the Trader Joe’s EVERYTHING BAGEL seasoning and a little onion powder (instead of the salt). Didn’t measure, but put enough so I could see the flakes of the E.B. seasoning. In another batch, when I sifted the almond flour I also sifted in CINNAMON and a little NUTMEG (again, left out the salt)… and powdered Splenda … and when I baked it, I sprinkled the top with a very light dusting of granulated Swerve. The savory ones are great with cheese and salami. The cinnamon ones are almost like a Snickerdoodle cookie!! My husband LOVED them!
Wanda
I also think the cinnamon version would roll out and make a GREAT crust for a low carb cheesecake or some of those fluffy no-bake pies, or using JELLO sugar-free pudding? Anyway, thanks again for such a simple but great recipe!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Yes, that does sound delicious, Wanda! Thanks for stopping by!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I love to hear that, Wanda! Thank you for stopping by!
Pdunn
Thanks for the response. I do appreciate those of you willing to find lower carb options and share with those who need them. I also thank you for posting total carbs as many do not. I feel like the net carb numbers only posts/recipes are trying to hide carbs….from my research I feel diabetics are better off knowing the total carb count, but I also understand everyone is different. I respect others opinions. The total carbs on the crackers seems a lot to me, but I realize it might not be for some. Again, thanks for the recipe ideas.
PDunn
Not a bad recipe, but not really low carb. Way too many for most who must stay below 50 carbs per day. Counting net carbs causes problems for many people, like diabetics.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi there, I would consider these low carb at 8g total carbs and 4g net carbs. Most people are actually ok going by net carbs, but of course do what works best for you. I list both in the nutrition info so that you can make an informed decision. That being said, I do think that 8g total carbs is doable to fit into a limit of 50g per day. 🙂 If not, I have other lower carb recipes and hope you’ll try them!
Presley
I replaced the egg with 3tbsp aquafaba and it worked perfectly. I also used a pizza cutter to cut the dough into shape. Thanks girl for a yummy recipe!
Georgina
I made these today. They are really good. Next time I will try to roll them a bit thinner, turn my awful oven down a bit and cook them a little longer. I added black pepper to the dough.
They are filling but delicious. I had a few with cheese. My boyfriend had some with various cheeses. Lovely with butter or plain. I’ll definitely make them again.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Georgina! I am so happy you liked the crackers. I love that you added black pepper!
Michelle
Have you tried adding shredded or grated cheese to this recipe to see how they turn out? Like maybe finely grated cheddar or parmesan?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Michelle, I haven’t tried that but it sounds delicious. It might affect the texture/consistency, though. Let me know how it goes if you try.
Karen OBrien
How many crackers in a serving????

Hi Darla! I used blanched almond flour because it’s finely ground and it creates a better texture. Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there. I am new to your site. I have been wandering around for almost an hour. What a great job you have done, Maya. The site is so fast, smooth, “elegant” and well organized with so much valuable content. I am happy you. I know how much work and constant attention this takes. Good for you. Which in turn, means good for us. Thank you, thank you.
Found you while doing a Google search for “Paleo Crackers.” I have since tried your 3 ingredient recipe with great results. Will be making these yummy crackers twice a week no doubt. Gonna let all my peeps know about you too.
So great! Carol

Made these for the first time – I used a little less almond flour, and added a little ground flax. Also added fresh ground black pepper for a little “heat” in the background – worked really well! Had them with some creamy blue cheese – SO delicious!

Sounds delicious, I’ll have to try that!

I made these and they were delicious!! I am wondering tho about carb count Per cracker and per serving. I use bob’s red mill blanched almond flour. I am doing math wrong? Serving size is 1/4 Cup and you need 2 cups so that’s 8 servings at 6 carbs per serving -3 fiber=3 net carbs multipy by 8 = 24 carbs total for whole recipe?? Divide that by 30 cracker and its less than 1 Carb per serving? How are you getting 4.7 carbs per 5 crackers? What am i not see or doing right? Thanks! Love your recipes!
Vicki
Nevermind, I figured it out. My mistake. I mistakenly divided total by 30 crackers!! Not 6 servings. Keep the recipes coming!!

Hi Karen, I don’t have a recipe for crackers with coconut flour yet. This is the only cracker recipe I have.

Just made these tonight. I’ve been “keto” for about 6 months now and crackers were definitely missed by me! Simple and foolproof! I added garlic salt and other seasonings into the crackers and they turned out wonderful. Only thing I need to work on is getting the dough a consistent thickness! Some came out thin, cooked faster, and others thicker. Very substantial cracker and like you said, good with anything on them! Thanks so much for this easy and great recipe Maya! I follow you on Pinterest and pin quite a few of your recipes, this was a good one! Oh, also, I use silicone mats in my cookie sheets, if you roll out dough on them directly, just use one sheet of wax paper on top, you don’t even need to move them. Anything that makes life and recipes easier works for me!

Thank you, Linda! Great tip to use the silicone mats!

A tip is to lay thin battens of wood either side of the dough rest the rolling pin on the battens to roll out. Uniform thickness every time as long as the rolling pin stays on the battens 🙂
