You’re going to love these homemade keto graham crackers! I love snacking on sugar-free graham crackers, or using them for a low carb graham cracker crust, or… keto s’mores with my keto marshmallows! These gluten-free graham crackers have been updated to include a new ingredient that makes their flavor just like the classic ones. Read on to find out how many carbs in graham crackers there are, tips, ingredient swaps, and step-by-step instructions on how to make low carb graham crackers.
Originally, this recipe was based on my 3-ingredient keto crackers, which were also made with almond flour. To turn them into graham crackers, I started by adding sweetener and cinnamon. I also threw in a bit of butter to compensate for the extra dry ingredients, but you could use coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
However, the biggest change came from the secret ingredients: the authentic flavor in these crackers comes from vanilla extract, honey extract, and my new Besti Brown Sweetener (the best keto brown sugar substitute – with the flavor and moisture of real brown sugar!). Extracts make a huge impact on flavor when it comes to low carb baking. If you want homemade gluten-free graham crackers that taste like the real thing, this is the way to go!
Besti Brown Monk Fruit Sweetener imparts the most incredible brown sugar flavor and aroma. However, it actually softened the crackers (allulose will do that!), so I swapped some of the almond flour for crushed pork rinds, to add back some of the crunch. They are still softer than traditional grahams – somewhere between a cracker and a soft cookie – but after testing variations 6 times, I decided the flavor is well worth it.
This low carb graham crackers recipe was originally published in October 2017 and updated in October 2020 to include an improved recipe, step-by-step instructions and pictures, and some tips on how to make these the best gluten-free graham crackers! Here’s a picture of the original sugar-free graham crackers:
What Are Graham Crackers?
Graham crackers are a special kind of cracker made with graham flour and sweetened with sugar, honey, and a hint of molasses. You can occasionally find them flavored with cinnamon or chocolate.
These sweet crackers aren’t widely available outside the United States, but that’s okay – you can easily make these keto graham crackers at home instead!
How To Make Keto Graham Crackers
Graham crackers on keto are possible, thanks to this simple sugar-free gluten-free graham cracker recipe:
- Mix dry ingredients. Combine Wholesome Yum Almond Flour, crushed pork rinds, Besti Brown Monk Fruit Allulose Blend, cinnamon, and sea salt in a food processor. Pulse together.
- Mix wet ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, butter, vanilla, and honey extract.
- Process the crackers. Add the wet ingredients to the food processor and process until a dense, sticky dough forms.
FYI: The dough should be crumbly, but stick together when pressed. If it’s super dry, you can add a bit more melted butter.
- Chill dough. Form the dough into a ball and freeze, until no longer sticky.
- Form crackers. Roll out crackers to a 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick rectangle and cut into squares. Transfer the squares to a prepared baking sheet and prick with a fork.
- Bake. They are done when they are golden, but allow them to cool completely before handling. They will firm up as they cool.
How To Use Low Carb Graham Crackers
Besides the obvious of just snacking on these keto-friendly graham crackers, I’ve got a few other ideas for you:
- S’mores – Is there anything that goes together more perfectly than a fluffy sugar-free marshmallow, a crunchy cinnamon graham cracker, and (sugar-free) dark chocolate?
- Pie Crust – If you’re looking to use the graham crackers in a pie crust, try gluten-free pumpkin pie cheesecake. It’s easy to make it low carb by using these sugar-free graham crackers and swapping the sugar with a keto sweetener.
- Graham crackers crumbs – Crumble the crackers and use the crumbs for topping your favorite keto desserts. I particularly love it over keto ice cream.
- Dunk them in milk – While regular milk is not keto, they are perfect with almond milk.
Sugar-Free Graham Crackers FAQs
Are graham crackers gluten-free?
Most graham crackers are made with wheat flour and are not gluten-free. This recipe is gluten-free and also works well as a keto substitute for graham crackers.
How many carbs in graham crackers?
Each keto graham cracker has 2.4 grams net carbs. Compared that to a regular, square-sized graham cracker, which tallies up to 11.5g net carbs!
Are graham crackers keto?
Regular graham crackers are not keto friendly. This sugar-free graham cracker recipe is keto friendly. It uses clean ingredients, with no sugar or flour.
Can you use a different sweetener?
Sorry, I don’t recommend swapping out the sweetener here. You need Besti Brown Monk Fruit Allulose Blend to get that classic brown sugar flavor, and since it’s moist like brown sugar, it impacts the recipe moisture level as well. I have tried other brands of keto brown sweetener, and find that they either don’t have the right moisture or the right sweetness, or they crystallize.
You can get Besti Brown Sweetener here, or if it’s not available for shipping to your location, sign up here to be notified when it is.
Can you use coconut flour?
No, sorry. Almond and coconut flour are not interchangeable, and you need almond flour for these sugar-free graham crackers. If you have an allergy and can’t use it, try sunflower seed meal – but the flavor and texture will be different.
Can you make them without pork rinds?
Yes, but I recommend including them. They help add crunch.
But, if you can’t have pork for some reason, you can swap out the pork rinds with the equivalent amount of additional almond flour. That is, replace the pork rinds with 1 cup almond flour, on top of the almond flour already in the recipe.
Gluten-Free Graham Crackers Storage Instructions
Can you make them ahead?
Yes, you can make these keto graham crackers a few days in advance.
How to store graham crackers
Store the GF graham crackers in an airtight container in the pantry for 5-7 days.
Can you freeze sugar-free gluten-free graham crackers?
If you won’t eat the crackers within a week, store them in the freezer for 2-3 months.
Arrange them on a parchment lined baking sheet in a single layer and place in the freezer. Once solid, transfer them to a freezer bag.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the almond flour, pork rinds, sweetener, cinnamon and sea salt in a food processor. Pulse until mixed together, stirring in from the sides as needed.
Add the butter, vanilla, and honey extract to the food processor and process until a dense, sticky dough forms. Stop to scrape down the sides as needed.
Place the dough ball between two large pieces of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll out to rectangle, about 1/16 to 1/8 in (1.5 to 3 cm) thick.
Cut the cracker dough into squares. Carefully peel the squares off the parchment and place onto the lined baking sheet, without touching. Prick holes with a toothpick or fork. You'll have uneven dough remaining at the edges, so just press that back into a ball, roll out again, and repeat. (You may need two baking sheets or two batches, depending on the size of your baking sheet.)

Hi I have a question for this recipe, is it supposed to have eggs? In the description it mentions processing the dry ingredients first and then whisking the wet ingredients together before adding to the food processor. You mention eggs as a wet ingredient in the description prior to the recipe but the actual recipe card itself does not have eggs listed nor does it say to add eggs in the directions. I made the recipe without eggs and used a tablespoon extra of melted butter and although I let them fully cool after baking the crackers themselves crumbled apart very easily. I could barely pick them up. Is that because there was no egg to bind them together? They tasted delicious but it was hard to eat my s’mores as they fell apart in my hands. Your marshmallow recipe rocks. So good with the graham crackers and I made a dark chocolate ganache. Also there is no video to click on. I use chrome as my browser could that be the issue?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Lesha, Great question! This recipe does not include eggs (great catch, btw ;)). Your graham crackers may have been crumbly if the pork rinds were not crushed fine enough.
Toni R. Hadley
Your recipes are fantastic especially for a new keto person. thank you so very much
Justine
I love homemade graham crackers. Can’t wait to give these ones a try!
Nellie Tracy
Great recipe! You can hardly tell that they’re keto. So delicious!
Mary C Ekroos
Hi Maya! Thanks for this recipe, it sounds very good, however I don’t eat pork of any kind, and I understand it’s to make the recipe crispier, but would the taste change much if we used Whisps, the baked Parmesan cheese chips?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Mary, Cheese crisps may work in this recipe, although I have not personally tested it. Enjoy!
Karen Arzola
Can I use these graham crackers to make a graham cracker crust? Do you have a recipe for that? Thanks
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Karen, Yes, you can crunch up these graham crackers to use for a crust. You can use this crust as a guide, just sub the almond flour for graham cracker crumbs.
Brittany McGlothin
Hi wheel of your recipes and are very excited to try this one but we have been seeing a lot of bad reviews about the extract tasting really bitter, so we were curious if we could use a honey flavoring oil instead of the honey extract?
Wholesome Yum A
Hi Brittany, I haven’t tried that but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Let me know if it’s a success for you!
Kari
Tastes very good! Wish they were crispier. Next time I’ll roll a touch thinner and/or bake a tad longer. Great recipe!
Tana Yount
How long would you say these last? I’m making them for my son to get him healthier snacks.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Tana, They last a while, at least a week and possibly longer.
Renee
I found this to be a great alternative to traditional graham crackers. I can have S’mores again! I used this recipe in conjunction with the marshmallow recipe from this site. For my personal taste, next time I will cut back on salt and add more cinnamon.
Cassidy
Hello! I’m looking forward to trying this recipe! I’m not keto, gf, or grain-free, just sugar free and reduced amounts whole grain.
Any thoughts on ratio of whole wheat flour in lieu of almond flour? I saw the reply to oat flour. Figured I’d scale back the whole wheat flour just but more.
Thanks in advance!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Cassidy, Sorry, I haven’t tried it with wheat flour to say for sure. Let me know how it goes if you try it!
TheArtemisMoon
Turned out very well although slightly salty for my taste. Will use 1/4 tsp next time. Even my carb loving husband liked them.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you!
Penny
Hi! Is there an alternative to blackstrap molasses? And is that one whole egg PLUS one egg yolk? Can’t wait to try this recipe! Thanx so much!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Penny, For the blackstrap molasses, you could try maple extract instead, or omit it. It doesn’t add significant carbs per serving though, since the tsp spread across 12 servings. Yes, it’s one whole egg plus one yolk.
Elvia
Hi Maya! Can I use maple extract instead of honey extract ? Thanks
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Elvia, Yes. You won’t get a traditional graham cracker flavor, but it will still taste great in the recipe. Enjoy!
Jessica
What about a keto icebox cake?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Great idea, Jessica! I’ll add it to my list.
Karen Moreland
My kids love graham crackers so I thought I’d try these as a sugar-free alternative. I found it hard to get them crispy, despite following the recipe closely. Did I do something wrong?
Wholesome Yum
Hi Karen, others have experienced that issue as well. Try rolling the dough thinner next time and bake a few minutes longer.
Saskia
Hi, thanks for your recipe. I have a question, can I replace the almond flour for oatmeal flour? Or what do you recommend? Thanks
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Saskia, I haven’t tried that but it would probably work. Usually oat flour is a little more dense so you’d need a little less, try using a scant measuring cup. Also keep in mind that using oat flour would not be low carb, but still gluten-free and sugar-free. Let me know how it goes!
Jacqui
These look really good. I just need to order some honey extract.
What about a keto version of Golden Grahams? Would you create that? It was my most favourite cereal. I always look for and trust your recipes, because even before I try them, I know they’ll be good!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you so much, Jacqui! I hope you’ll give them a try. Great idea on the Golden Grahams… I used to love those as a kid, too. 🙂
Lisa
How many crackers are in a serving?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Lisa, A serving is 2 large 3″x3″ crackers.
Karen
Can the sugar-free gluten-free graham crackers be stored in the freezer? If so, for how long? Once baked and cooled, are they best kept in the fridge or can they be stored in an airtight container in the cupboard?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Karen, Yes, you can freeze them! If frozen, they should be safe to eat after basically any amount of time but after a few months the taste might be affected. Otherwise, you can store them in an airtight container on the counter for at least several days. They’ll last even longer in the fridge. The storage would be basically the same as any other cookie or cracker.
