What Are Almond Flour Crackers?
Keto Almond Crackers are delicious crunchy bites with a bread-like texture that makes a delicious savory keto snack or keto low-carb appetizer.
They are easy to make, using only 3 ingredients, and suitable for any healthy diet, including gluten-free, paleo, and vegan.
How To Make Keto Crackers
It’s super easy to whip a batch of healthy almond flour crackers using only 3 wholesome pantry ingredients. You don’t even need dairy, eggs, or cheese for this recipe which makes it even more versatile.
In fact, it’s up to you to flavor these crackers with sweet or savory spices or keep them plain for a delicious keto snack.
Ingredients Almond Flour Crackers
All you need to make this recipe for crackers with almond flour are:
- Ultra-fine blanched almond flour – that’s one of the best keto-friendly flour to bake crackers. It’s fine, white in color, and creates crispy crackers without grainy texture. I don’t recommend using an almond meal or ground almonds to avoid a gritty texture in your crackers. These two are the coarse version of almond flour, usually ground almonds with skin on and it results in dry crackers with dark color.
- Golden flax meal – also known as ground flax seeds. This is an egg-free cracker recipe, and a flaxseed meal is a binder in the recipe. It holds the almond flour together to create delicious crispy keto crackers without eggy flavor.
- Water
Then feel free to flavor the crackers by adding some of the below ingredients into the dough. If you are new to keto almond flour recipes, adding spices is a great way to hide the almond flour.
- Sea salt – a pinch of salt or garlic powder or garlic salt adds a great flavor to these crackers.
- Spices – ground paprika, curry powder, turmeric, Italian seasonings, or sugar-free sweeteners for a sweet version.
- Seeds – bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, or hemp seeds for a boost of proteins.
Combine all ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, stir the almond flour, flaxseed meal, any spices or salt you want to add in, and water. Stir the dough until it forms a ball.
Rolling the dough
Then, place the dough ball between two pieces of parchment paper. This prevents the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
You can also use two silicone mats if preferred. Also, you can lightly oil the benchtop with olive oil if your parchment paper slips onto the surface while rolling.
Roll the dough into a 0.1-inch (3 mm) thickness. Thick crackers thick longer to bake.
You can control the thickness of your crackers by rolling them with pastry rulers. You can also fold your baking paper into a rectangle shape before rolling the dough.
This way, the dough is encased into this shape and can’t be rolled thinner on some parts.
Remove the top piece of parchment paper and set it aside to reuse in another recipe.
Cut the dough
Now, use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 14 rectangle shapes.
Baking The Crackers
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Finally, slide the sheet of parchment paper with the cut crackers on it onto a baking sheet.
Bake the crackers for 10 minutes, then open the oven and loosen each cracker on the baking sheet using the tip of a knife.
Return in the oven until crackers are golden brown and crispy on the side.
Serving Keto Almond Flour Crackers
On a keto diet, we miss crispy chips and bread, and these keto crackers are perfect as a substitute for chips. Serve your almond flour crackers with keto toppings like:
- Cheese – soft cheese like camembert is delicious with crispy almond keto crackers.
- Butter
- Guacamole or mashed avocado
- Pizza Dip, Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip, or Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip
- Cream cheese
- Cured meat – salami, ham, chorizo
You can also use this almond flour keto crackers recipe for keto party food platters! First, add keto vegetables like olives, celery sticks, cucumber sticks, cheese, and cured meat to your platter.
Next, arrange your almond flour keto crackers all around.
Storage Instructions
You can store the Almond Flour Crackers in a glass jar or airtight container for up to 10 days in the pantry.
Don’t store them in the fridge or in a plastic container as they would soften.
Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve listed below the answers to the most common questions about this cracker recipe.
Yes, it is! Flaxseeds hold the ingredients together. The crackers would crumble without it.
Each cracker contains only 0.8 grams of net carbs.
No, psyllium husk would make the crackers chewy, not crispy.

Keto Almond Flour Crackers
Ingredients
Keto Crackers
- 1 cup Almond Flour
- 1 tablespoon Flaxseed Meal or ground flaxseeds
- 3 tablespoons Water
Spices – optional
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Ground Paprika
- ¼ teaspoon Onion Powder or flakes
- ⅛ teaspoon Chilli Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Cumin
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, flaxseed meal, and any spices or salt you want to add in.
- Stir in water until it forms a dough ball. The dough should not be sticky. If so, read the troubleshooting notes.
- Place the dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment paper on top of the ball. Slightly press to flatten and then start rolling with a rolling pin into 0.1-inch (3 mm) thickness.
- Remove the top parchment paper layer. Dip a knife blade into the water, slightly dry with a towel. This will prevent the blade from sticking to the dough. Cut rectangle shapes – you should be able to make 14 rectangles.
- Slide the parchment paper sheet with the cut-out crackers onto a baking tray. Make sure you leave some space between each cracker to ensure a nice crisp on the border. If they are too close to each other, they don't crisp as much.
- Bake at 350°F/180°C for 12 minutes, then open the oven and use the tip of a knife to space up the crackers if needed. This helps the sides crisp more.
- Return to the oven and keep baking for up to 20 minutes or until golden brown on top and crispy.
- Fully cool down on a cooling rack. The crackers will harden as they cool down and get their full crispy texture after 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Store in a glass jar or airtight container (careful, plastic box soften the crackers). Store up to 10 days in the pantry. Don't store them in the fridge, or they will soften.

Do you think it’s possible to not use parchment paper? Every time I’ve used it I get sick, I’m sensitive to whatever additives are on the paper. Thanks ????
Oh no I am sorry to hear that. The batter is very sticky so you can’t roll this directly in contact with the rolling pin but you can use 2 silicon mats instead! Or 2 pieces of plastic film wraps! It will avoid the dough to be in direct contact with the bench and roller pin and still work very well. Enjoy the crackers, XOXO Carine.
I decided to give these a try while i was planning out my food for the week. I love my avocados with crackers and cheese but i have to cut out white flour from my diet. I love water crackers so decided to give this recipe a try. I really really like these though the flavor tastes like oven roasted pumpkin seeds, which isnt a bad thing but it is definitely different. I ate 7 of these small crackers with mashes avocado and cheese. It was still good. Very happy with this and def a recipe i will keep.
Thank you for trying my recipe! It takes time to get used to low carb flour when you have to stop eating white wheat. Most low carb flour have a nutty flavor that you can mask by adding spices or you will appreciate this more with time. I am so happy you find my blog, no white flour here so you should fine many recipe to try. Enjoy the recipes around here, XOXO Carine.

Hi! If you want a flaxseed cracker recipe using golden flaxseed I have got one for you Flaxseed Cracker Recipe. It will be much easier to follow than adapting that almond flour cracker recipe using flaxseed. Enjoy! XOXO Carine.

Hi there.
great recipe however I am confused with th Calories.
One bit it says its 50cal per craker and in the nutrition panel it i saying its 7 Calories per serving ( 1 cracker)
can you please clarify this
Sorry for that! This panel should not show anymore has it shows some issues. It has been removed and thanks for alerting me. The data in the recipe card are correct, 50 kcal per crackers ! Enjoy the lovely crackers. XOXO Carine.
Thank you 🙂
i just reposted the question as I didnt see you replied, so please ignore it! Crakers were lovely . Thank you 🙂
Yeah! I am so glad you love them and thank YOU for tryng my easy low carb recipes on the blog. XOXO Carine.
Hi, I ahve been looking for easy recipes such as this! Would it be possible to use psyllium husk instead of the flaxmeal?
I am glad you found the blog! Husk make recipes chewier, softer I would not recommend to swap flaxmeal by husk or the crackers will be softer. Enjoy the low carb recipes on the blog. XOXO Carine.
Hi, thanks for the recipe, can’t wait to try it. Just checking if these can be dehydrated instead of being baked.
I don’ have a dehydrator and never used one before so unfortunately I can’t answer your question. Enjoy the blog recipes. XOXO Carine.
Thanks Carine for that useful piece of advice
You’re welcome ! Enjoy, XOXO Carine.
These sound great and just what I’m needing. Only problem is I don’t currently have Flax seed, does it have to be them or can I use poppy seed or something else.. I only shop periodically so would have to wait I think
Thank you for all your hard work to help us
Hello ! I am so glad you found my little blog and you are enjoying my recipes. Poppy seeds won’t work as they don’t have the same properties of flaxseed. Flaxseed contains lots of fibre and create a gel like texture when it contact with water, replacing egg in recipe. I would recommend ground chia seed as a replacement. I hope this help you ! Enjoy the recipes on the blog. XOXO Carine.
Hi, like for like substitute for chia seeds? Thank you 🙂
