📋 Ingredients
There are just five main ingredients in the recipe if you don't include the water. Here's what you'll need.
Almond flour
Using almond flour as the main ingredient results in a crisp and nutty cracker.
Sunflower seeds
To give a better texture and taste, a small amount of ground sunflower seeds are added. However, these can be replaced with an everything bagel seasoning or almond flour.
Psyllium husks or flax seeds
To help bind the ingredients together better, psyllium husks or flax seeds are ground into the mix. This also gives a taste and texture more like thin wheat crackers. Chia seeds would likely work as well.
Oil
Adding in a bit of coconut or olive oil adds flavor and helps to create a more workable dough. Plus, fat is an essential part of the keto diet!
Salt
Every cracker needs a little salt or the taste will be very bland!
Please note: The amounts for each of the simple ingredients needed to make these almond flour crackers are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
🔪 Instructions
The dough for these almond flour keto crackers can either be made in a food processor or by hand in a bowl.
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.
Form crackers and bake
- Place the ball of dough on a piece of parchment paper and press it flat.
- Cover flattened dough with another sheet of parchment paper of equal size and roll it to about ⅛ to 1/16 inch thickness with a rolling pin.
- 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.
📒 Variations
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 powder and parmesan cheese for a big pop of flavor.
You can even make cheese crackers by processing in some cheddar and or cream cheese. Feel free to get creative with the recipe!
🍽️ Serving suggestions
The great thing about these keto-friendly crackers is that they are a versatile ingredient too. You can enjoy a handful when you want something crunchy, or serve them alongside tasty sides and dips! They go well with keto margaritas too!
Making a meat and cheese board? These delicious keto crackers are the perfect addition to a keto charcuterie board! You can use them as a vehicle for softer cheeses like oven baked 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!
🙋 FAQs
Before getting to the printable recipe, I wanted to cover a few questions that people often have about the low carb crackers recipe.
Cheese crackers like Parm Crisps and Whisps are the best keto crackers to buy as they usually have the least carbs. You can even make your own parmesan crisps at home. Flax seed crackers are another great option.
Although they are lower in carbs than saltine crackers, Wheat Thins have 15g net carbs (16g total) in a 13 cracker serving. So make these homemade ones instead.
If you plan to eat these gluten-free crackers within a few days, they can be stored covered at room temperature. Or, you can store them loosely covered in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

These were wonderful! Thank you so much the recipe. I just made a double recipe for my sister-in-law who is coming to visit tomorrow and is keto. I used olive oil, a bit less salt (and it was plenty) and chopped fresh rosemary. I think next time I would even put more rosemary and do a triple recipe instead of a double, as it doesn't make a huge amount. Thank you again. This is a keeper.

I've made some other of your recipes and they're great. These crackers look excellent and I'm about to make them. I'm hoping you might have a measurement using grams for the serving. Or maybe you could tell me approximately how many 1-inch crackers make a half cup?
Lisa MarcAurele
It depends on the size of the crackers, but I usually get a dozen or more in a serving.
Eva Love
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 I’ve 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!
