These keto crackers have all the flavor and crunch you crave, with none of the carbs. They take only 5 basic ingredients so you can whip up this easy snack any time!
I have been making these keto crackers for a gajillion years. Yes, gajillion is a real word. It means “so long I hardly care to even think about it”.
Mind you, it’s not this exact recipe. But I created a version of almond flour crackers back in 2011 that had similar ingredients and method. My keto baking skills and my photography were both in their nascent stages, so I have since removed that recipe. But I’ve been making variations of them ever since!
I do, of course, have other yummy recipes like Keto Cheese Crackers and nut-free Rosemary Parmesan Crackers. But this is a basic recipe that takes only 5 ingredients. Unless, of course, you choose to jazz them up a bit!
Why this recipe is so awesome
I’ve always loved making a meal out of crackers and cheese. So when I went low carb for my health, I needed something to sub in for my favorite snack. I was delighted an amazed that I could make a good substitute with something like almond flour.
It’s astonishingly simple to do. Keto crackers take only a handful of easy ingredients and 60 minutes of your time. And you can add some fun flavors as well, like garlic powder, parmesan, or everything bagel seasoning.
If you bake them in a low temp oven, as instructed, they come out seriously crispy. And they last well too. This last batch has been on my counter in a covered container for over 2 weeks.
They are so good with a smear of my Homemade Boursin Cheese. And great for scooping up some Sausage Cheese Dip!
Ingredients you need
- Almond flour: I recommend a good fine almond flour like Bob’s Red Mill for the best texture.
- Egg: You need egg to help bind the dough properly. You will also brush the crackers with some egg white prior to baking.
- Butter: You can also use avocado or extra virgin olive oil.
- Everything Bagel Seasoning: You can buy this seasoning pre-made or make your own. See notes below about making your own.
- Pantry staples: Baking powder, kosher salt
Step-by-step directions
1. Mix the dough. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the egg and butter until the dough comes together.
2. Roll out the dough. Turn the dough out onto a large silicone baking mat and pat into a rough rectangle. Top with a large piece of parchment paper. Roll out to ⅛-inch thickness, as evenly as you can. Remove the parchment.
3. Cut the crackers. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to score into 2 inch squares. Brush with the egg white, then sprinkle with the everything bagel seasoning. Press lightly to adhere.
4. Bake. Slide the silicone baking mat onto a large baking sheet. Bake at 300ºF for 35 to 40 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the crackers are firm to the the touch. Let cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking apart along the score lines.
Expert tips
For truly crispy keto crackers, the key is to bake them in a low temperature oven. Almond flour and other nut meals have quite a high fat content, so this helps them dry out and crisp up.
I recommend rolling them to about ⅛th of an inch. Don’t roll them so thin that you can almost see the surface underneath, as they will be more fragile. But do your best to roll them out as even thickness as possible. If some spots are thinner than others, they will bake and brown too quickly.
To get a topping like sea salt or everything bagel seasoning to adhere properly, brush the crackers with a little egg white. Then sprinkle on the topping and gently press into the dough.
If the edges of your crackers are browning more quickly than the center, remove the pan from the oven and break them off along the score marks. Then return the pan to the oven and let the rest continue to crisp up.
If you live in a very humid climate, they may absorb some moisture from the atmosphere, and can soften. But they crisp up again nicely when popped in a warm oven. Set your oven to about 200ºF and re-bake the crackers for 20 minutes or so, then let cool before serving.

Notes
EASY EVERYTHING BAGEL SEASONING RECIPE
- Poppy seeds
- Sesame seeds
- Dried garlic
- Dried onion
- Coarse salt
I usually do about 1 tablespoon of each of the seeds, then 1 ½ teaspoons each of the garlic and onion. I like a fair bit of salt so I go for at least a teaspoon but you can go lighter if you like.
