How To Make Keto Crackers
The dough for these almond flour crackers can either be made in a food processor or by hand in a bowl.
First, you prepare the dough:
- In a food processor or large bowl, mix together the almond flour, sunflower seeds, psyllium, and sea salt until well-combined.
- Add the water and coconut oil by pulsing with the food processor or stirring by hand into the bowl. Continue mixing until a dough forms.
Next, you flatten and cut the dough then bake:
- Place the dough ball on a sheet of parchment paper and press it flat.
- Cover flattened dough with another sheet of parchment paper and roll it to about ⅛ to 1/16 inch thickness.
- Transfer the dough to a cutting board, remove the top parchment paper, and cut into 1-inch squares using a pizza cutter or knife. Sprinkle sea salt on top if desired.
- Place the dough with bottom parchment paper intact on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 350°F until the edges are brown and crisp (about 10-15 minutes). Remove the crackers and allow them to cool on a rack, then separate into squares.
If you plan to eat your crackers within a few days, they can be stored at room temperature. Or, you can store them loosely covered in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
Simple Additions
These low carb crackers are very simple in taste. That might be perfect based on what you’re serving with them!
But you can also add a little bit of flavor to the recipe. My favorite option is to add sea salt to the dough right after slicing them into squares and before baking them.
If you want something fancier, try experimenting with your favorite herbs! Rosemary crackers would be so delicious. Or maybe you want to add a little garlic and parmesan for a big pop of flavor.
Feel free to get creative with the recipe!
Serving keto friendly low-carb crackers
Crackers are such a versatile ingredient. You can enjoy a handful when you want something crunchy, or serve them alongside tasty sides and dips!
Making a meat and cheese board? These keto crackers are the perfect addition! You can use them as a vehicle for softer cheeses like brie or whipped ricotta.
They’re also a great way to enjoy delicious dips like guacamole, cauliflower hummus, keto spinach dip, crab dip with cream cheese, or keto buffalo chicken dip. The options are truly endless!

Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds see note
- 1 tablespoon whole psyllium husks or flax meal
- ¾ teaspoon sea salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Blend together almond flour, sunflower seeds, psyllium, and sea salt in bowl or food processor. I like to process together with a food processor to finely chop sunflower seeds.
- If using food processor, pulse in water and coconut oil until dough forms. If blending by hand, stir the liquid ingredients into dry ingredients to form dough.
- Place dough ball on a sheet of parchment paper and press flat. Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and roll dough to about ⅛ to 1/16 inch thickness.
- Put on cutting board, remove top parchment paper, and cut into 1-inch squares using a pizza cutter or knife. Sprinkle sea salt on top if desired.
- Place cut dough on a baking sheet and bake in 350°F until edges are brown and crisp (about 10-15 minutes). Allow to cool on a rack then separate into squares.

I’d like to try these but I’m allergic to sunflower seeds. What else could I use instead? I saw that you said that chia seeds would work but would need to use a smaller amount? How much? I don’t get what a smaller amount means.
Lisa MarcAurele
You should be able to just sub the sunflower seeds out with almond flour or another finely ground nut. I just like the flavor sunflower seeds add.

Just made these crackers and followed the recipe exactly. You didn’t say whether the coconut oil should be liquid or not, so I used liquid. They turned out really well! Mine actually took 18 minutes to start to brown slightly around the edges, and I have a convection oven. I think every oven cooks differently and I know for me, I always have to play around with times for things baking. This time, I just made the plain crackers, but I’m excited now to try different flavors such as garlic. Thank you!

If the coconut oil isn’t too hard, I don’t bother melting it. But I don’t think it matters either way.

Lisa these are by far the BEST crackers Iโve tried so far!
I had everything except for coconut oil so I substituted it with olive oil and it worked out well!
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!
Lisa MarcAurele
You’re welcome! I’m glad the olive oil worked out!
