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 irresistible, 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. đŸ™‚
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.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the almond flour and sea salt in a large bowl. Add the egg and mix well, until a dough forms. (You can also mix in a food processor.)
-
Place the dough between two large pieces of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll out to rectangle, about 1/16 (.2 cm) thick. (It will tend to roll into an oval shape, so just rip off pieces of dough and re-attach to form a more rectangular shape.)
-
Cut the cracker dough into rectangles. Prick with a fork or toothpick if desired. Place on the lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-12 minutes, until golden.

I have done this recipe several times now and I have found this recipe to be great as is or I have flavoured salts with chilli or Lemmon and even super seeds and used them for the variety it’s so versatile. Even added Parmesan cheese so I have a selection for cheese and biscuits etc could not be easier to do it’s so good to have an easy keto cracker that I can nibble on instead of keto bombs.
Keto Guy
I’ve made these many times now, and I have to strongly disagree with the last comment.
They’re very good as keto crackers go.
Of course I add lots of savory spices, like cardamom, cayenne, anise, cumin and so on.
The only comment I would make on the recipe itself is that the suggested cook time is low. I like them crisper than what I get after 8 too mins. I leave them in for at least 20 minutes.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I’m glad you like them! The baking time can vary a bit depending on your oven and exactly how thin you make them (even just a millimeter difference will impact the time).
Ann Shaffer
This is as respectful as I can be. These crackers were awful, a waste of time and money. I had no “issue.” They came out just like the picture and tasted so bad I made them according to the recipe. People really need to be warmed. Thanks anyway.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Sorry to hear you didn’t like them, Ann! Was your almond flour expired by chance? It can go rancid and have a very unpleasant taste. Otherwise they should taste pretty neutral, with a mild almond flavor.
KH
Hi, I have a nut allergy. Do you recommend a substitute flour for this recipe that will still be classified as “keto”? Thanks!
Wholesome Yum D
Hi KH, Unfortunately, this recipe only works with almond flour. I recommend my Fathead Crackers or Flaxseed Crackers for nut-free options.
Lizz
Lizz again. So, Maya, these don’t need to be refrigerated? I don’t think they will last long. Right now enjoying them with some
cream cheese and Everything but the Bagel!!!
Wholesome Yum D
Hi Lizz, These crackers do not need to be stored in the refrigerator.
Lizz
Hey there Maya,
These came out very good!! They weren’t as pretty as yours or even so they didn’t cook all at the same time. Also, my oven is a bit uneven. I also flipped mine and popped them back in for a few minutes. Next time I’ll experiment with different toppings but the basic recipe gets a thumbs up. Definitely a keeper recipe!!
Thank you,
Lizz
Cher
Have you ever added herbs, like fresh Rosemary, to the crackers
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Cher, Yes, absolutely! Fresh rosemary is delicious in these crackers. Just keep in mind that the shelf life will be a little shorter when using fresh herbs. For maximum shelf life, try using dried.
Susan
Easy, fast, delicious
Andrea
These are great! I am not a fan of almond flour recipes for bread but thought I would try to make these because they looked simple. They are easy to make and delicious! I added some garlic and herb seasoning as well as topped them with the Everything Bagel seasoning. Soooo good! these will definitely be a staple in my pantry from now on!
Tracy Williams
Excellent my 12 yo son loves these “crackers” they are buttery crunchy and the perfect treat for keto crunch cravers (chips & fries) we love the recipe as written!
Laura Scott-Twichell
Delicious!
Liane N
Just finished making this recipe. Now I don’t have to get store bought. I put cracked pepper on a part of batch and it tastes great. Perfect snack for me. Easy to follow, easy to do, easy to enjoy
Denise
I loooove these crackers! Just making my 3rd batch in about a month, so awesome to have a good tasting cracker! Thank you!
Kayley
Just as a quick FYI. I live at 6300 feet and the recipe as written didn’t adhere no matter how much I worked it. Given that the weather – today’s very dry and windy – has a profound effect on baking, I’ll start tweaking it and see if I can come up with something. First to try is an XL egg rather than just large. Today I added a tsp of water in two sprinkles which helped the first two rollings. Then I moistened the glove between times and kept it covered with plastic wrap. Even that didn’t help much, though. The crackers are really good, though.
I’ll keep you posted when I figure things out a bit better.
The 3 stars are because of the altitude challenges. Otherwise, 4.5.
Rafael
Wow. As someone who doesn’t bake unless it comes in a box and has a label that says “Duncan Hines”, I thought “there is no way I can do this.” I was so wrong. Granted, I got my hands dirty (oh the horror!) but when done, this was easy to make and was very yummy. I added nothing extra. Just followed the recipe straight up. Oh my! Loving these. They won’t last a day. Thanks!!!
Kayley
Quick question. I want to make this with the Italian/garlic seasoning. How much of each would I need at a minimum for it?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Kayley, I’d start with 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and then adjust to taste. Enjoy!
Karen Davidson
Thanks. I have a tendency to over do things like that!
Kimberly
Wow! Thank you. I’m new to keto and it was so great to be able to eat something that tastes carb-laden but isn’t. These were easy to make and kind of amazing. Just one egg and two cups of almond flour. I didn’t do a great job with consistently thin rolling, but I will say that the crackers that were rolled the thinnest turned out the crispiest. Will definitely make again!
Ruchi
Can i use unblenched almond flour for this recipe?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Ruchi, The recipe will work with unblanched flour, however, that means it includes the skins in the flour, which will cause the flour to taste bitter. For best results, use blanched almond flour.
Wayne
How much almond flour do you use, per egg? That is not given. Don’t you think it’s kind of ridiculous not to include that little bit of information?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Wayne, All of these specifics for the recipe are located in the recipe card. If you cannot see the recipe card, please check your browser settings to disable any ‘Reader Mode’ or RSS settings you may have enabled.
Anne
Thank you for sharing this recipe, I’ve Been making these for a while now and they’re amazing. I’ve started experimenting with different flavors too, I have some baking now which have garlic, Italian herbs, and chia seeds in. I’ve also made a chicken liver pĂ¢tĂ© to go with them
ma
these are great. can cut any size you want and i do smaller for snacking when have crispy urges
Juyeon
This is the best low carb crackers so far for my taste! Thank you so much!
Yisrael
I think it is easier to roll with plastic wrap on top. doesn’t stick and you can see what you’re doing. Also I like adding sesame seeds to them. Other options are garlic powder (the course type is best) I also found it easiest to roll with a tablespoon of water added. Great recipe. Not sure why people are worried about how long they last.
Myriam
I couldn’t get the one egg to hold 2 cups of flour. Maybe I’m missing something…
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Myriam, What size eggs do you use? If you are using medium-sized eggs, then you may need to use 2 to get a cohesive dough.
Patrick Brady
Pulled these out of the oven about 15 minutes ago. I’m impressed. Took the advice of one of the other posters and used 2 eggs instead of one (even though the egg carton said large they looked more medium). Wouldn’t change a thing. Making Keto Chili for supper and finally get to have some crackers with it. Thanks
Vicki Tatum
I made these this morning. i love the taste. I have large eggs but I added a 2nd one and it wasn’t as crumbly. Mine did not come out very crunchy. I cooked for about 16 minutes, maybe i did not roll them thin enough. I will try to roll thinner next time.
Katie
Please help! What did I do wrong … I followed directions but it never got to be dough like., just powdery
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Katie, What size egg did you use? If you used a medium-sized egg, then you may need to increase the number of eggs to 2 for this recipe. Also, double check that you are measuring the flour correctly – scoop and level with a knife; don’t pack into the measuring cup or measure heaping cups.
Anne
This turned out so much better than anticipated. So easy and yummy. I am not a baker but even I did not mess it up. Definitely making again.
Tori
Quick question, have you ever added cheese to the recipe?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Tori, I have done something similar with these Low Carb Keto Cheese Crackers.
Susan
I love these crackers! Personally, I don’t think they have much flavor, but they remain satisfyingly crispy for weeks and they taste amazing with dip or a cheese ball! I love that these crackers let me join in the snacking without compromising my keto diet.
Carolyn
I needed something to keep me eating keto while I snacked on my dips besides celery sticks and bell peppers; well I found it! These 2 ingredient crackers are awesome and very substantial,. This is my go to, I made 2 batches and added garlic powder and freeze dried basil for flavor. Easy to make and quick.
Linda
Amazingly good for 2 ingredients! ( of course, not including the salt) . The dough was easy to work. I divided the dough and used a tortilla press with parchment to flatten the dough. I made rounds with a cookie cutter and reflattened the rounds. I like my crackers thin.
sue
how to you store these please?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Sue, These crackers can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 7 days. They can also be frozen if you have any left after the week.
Pamela
I have made this recipe several times this year. I will make them for our French rĂ©villion on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.
Kimberly Fear
Have made these crackers three separate times and they have been great every time! They take quite a but longer to cook for me, but they taste yummy and so worth it.
Leah Hovland
Love these! Filling and easy to make. I spiced mine with onion powder, salt and oregano. Next time I want to spice them more because I would like them to have more taste.
