Keto Flaxseed Crackers Recipe (With Garlic Parmesan)

Here's an easy-to-make keto flaxseed crackers recipe with garlic parmesan flavor! These simple low-carb crackers are a great homemade snack.

It's always a good idea to go through the pantry ever so often and determine what items have been sitting on the shelf for a while. Most recently, for me, it was flaxseed.

Several months ago, I had stocked up on the ingredient because there were a lot of low-carb recipes in my pile that called for flax. Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to try many of the recipes I've been saving.

I've been wanting to try Laura Dolson's Garlic Parmesan Flax Seed Cracker recipe. I was reminded when I saw a cheddar asiago cheese cracker recipe!

Although those low-carb crackers looked so much better than Laura's, I didn't have any Vermont cheese powder.

I may have to put in an order for that cheese powder very soon. Those cheddar asiago crackers looked so good and are high on my list of things to try.

But, I was looking to use up some flax meal. So in the meantime, I just used plain old parmesan cheese to make some simple and delicious keto flaxseed crackers.

 Why you'll love it

These low-carb crackers hit the spot whenever you have a craving for something crunchy and salty! Plus, they are shelf-stable, so you can bring a small bag of them with you when you leave the house.

Keto crackers are an excellent way to eat more healthy fats and protein. There are so many different ways to make them, but these flaxseed crackers are my favorite.

Ground flaxseed is so good for you! Not only does it make these keto crackers gluten-free, but they are full of fiber that's good for your gut and healthy fats to keep you in ketosis.

When you are on a low-carb diet, these keto flaxseed crackers are the perfect thing to munch on. They are gluten-free and refined sugar-free.

Ingredients

This is one of the easiest cracker recipes you will ever make. There are just four ingredients - and they are all pantry staples.

Flaxseed meal

This is the most important ingredient because it's the basis of the entire recipe. You can use brown flax seeds- just make sure it is ground up into a meal.

Parmesan cheese

Shredded parmesan cheese adds an earthy and almost sweet flavor to these delicious keto flaxseed crackers.

Seasonings

I only added some garlic powder and salt. If you use garlic salt, you don't have to add more salt.

Herbs like rosemary can be added to change up the taste. Most seasonings don't increase carb count significantly. But, it's a good idea to look up the carb count of any ingredient you decide to use.

Tips

• Use a rolling pin. Make the dough thin or leave it thick for heartier keto flaxseed crackers.
• Roll batter between silicone mats. This is a very sticky batter that can be troublesome to roll out. If you have issues, place a non-stick mat on top of the batter and roll it out that way.
• Add more flax meal. If the batter is still too sticky, try adding a little bit more flax meal.

Instructions

It's so easy to make this tasty snack - just mix the ingredients and bake the crackers! Here are a few more details of how I made them.

Combine the ingredients

The process for making keto flaxseed crackers is simple. You combine flaxseed meal, water, salt, and optional seasonings in a large bowl. For the proper consistency, the water amount can be adjusted as needed.

Roll out the dough

Then, the dough is rolled out flat on either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

I did have trouble getting the dough to roll out even, and the crackers in the middle were noticeably thicker than those on the edges.

If you like thin and crisp crackers, you'll want to try and roll the dough out as thin and evenly as possible. You can use a toothpick to poke in the center to determine thickness.

Once it's rolled out to your liking, place the parchment paper or silicone mat with your dough onto a baking sheet.

Slice the crackers

Next, use a pizza cutter wheel to slice the rolled-out dough before putting it in the oven. I should have made guide marks to get the crackers more uniform in size.

These are things that I will work to correct the next time I make crackers!

Bake keto flaxseed crackers

Finally, bake in the oven for about 15-18 minutes until the center is firm.

Tip: If the edges start to get more than just a little bit brown, take them out to cool, so the crackers don't burn.

????️ Serving suggestions

I've bought boxed low-carb crackers in the past, and they aren't any better than this simple recipe. I don't recall the price, but I'm sure it is cheaper to make them at home.

I've always liked having crunchy snacks, and the added fiber in these keto flaxseed crackers definitely makes them a healthy choice.

These crackers go well served with cheese slices! Or, you can dip them in a warm crab dip for a special appetizer. You can also snack on them with a handful of keto popcorn.

Serve them at a party with hot and cheesy spinach dip. These crackers are perfect for parties because they are fantastic, even for people with sensitive stomachs!
