What Can You Eat with Keto Crackers?
Snacks, snacks, snacks.
We love them and we’re all about them. Much so that we’ve created a variety of tasty quality meaty snacks you can eat with your keto crackers that you keto dieters love so much.
“Great taste! I love the beef sticks and have just ordered a subscription for them along with a one time beef bar order. In addition to using the beef sticks for snacks, I have upgraded the nutritional value by slicing them up along with sweet peppers and mushroom and adding them to my scrambled eggs. What a treat!!!”
Gayle Kallmann
But meaty treats aside, keto crackers are perfect for a solo snack, absolutely killer with some cheese… and did someone say avocado ‘toast’ (just make them bigger, tostada style).
What Crackers are Keto Friendly?
It’s no secret that most crackers aren’t keto-friendly — yes, even the ones that are labeled as such. Thus your safest bet is making your own batch at home and we’ve got the perfect recipe for you.
Low Carb Crackers: Your Ultimate Recipe
Made with almond flour and cheese, these keto crackers are a low-carb way to enjoy a crunchy snack with just 1 gram net carbs per serving.
In fact, you don’t need any complex kitchen gadgets for these crackers. All you need are just 12 minutes, so you can quickly put together a snack board for yourself while they’re baking away.
The Ingredients
- Almond flour: Use blanched almond flour instead of almond meal because the latter will make the crackers heavy and dense. And we don’t want them falling apart once baked, do we?
- Shredded cheese: Cheddar cheese is a great option as it gives the crackers extra crispiness and holds together the best but you can also use mozzarella cheese.
- Salt and pepper: To taste. Only add salt after the crackers are ready, as the cheese is already quite flavorful and salty.
- Water: Only add water to the dough if it requires extra binding.
The Instructions
- In a food processor or high-speed blender, add your almond flour and shredded cheese, and blend well until dough appears. If the dough is too crumbly, add a little water.
- Place the dough between two parchment papers: one on the bottom and another piece of parchment paper on top. Roll it out until flat and thin.
- Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into squares.
- Place the crackers onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, before flipping and cooking for another 5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely.

Tips to Making the Best Almond Flour Crackers
- “The thinner your dough, the crispier your crackers” (sing it with us).
- Use a pizza cutter to cut up the dough into crackers so that it’s easier to slice it more evenly.
- Feel free to add spices like oregano, basil, and smoked paprika into the dough for some extra flavor.
- Don’t overbake the crackers, instead, let them crisp up and once they’ve turned golden brown around the edges, they’re ready.
Storing and Freezing Crackers
- To store: To ensure your crackers stay fresh for at least three days, store crackers at room temperature, in a sealed container.
- To freeze: Place crackers in a ziplock bag and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven once thawed out.
- To reheat: If you refrigerate your crackers, we recommend you reheat them in the oven or toaster oven to crisp up again.
