Keto Crackers with almond flour

By deiv3 on September 12, 2024

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups almond flour
1 large egg
1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for extra crispiness)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt (plus more for sprinkling on top)
1/2 tsp paprika (optional, for flavor)
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, paprika, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and olive oil to the dry mixture and stir until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but firm enough to handle.
Roll Out the Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a thin layer, about 1/8 inch thick. The thinner you roll the dough, the crispier the crackers will be.
Cut the Crackers: Once rolled out, use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into small squares or rectangles. You can also use a cookie cutter for fun shapes. Transfer the cut dough onto the prepared baking sheet, keeping the crackers close but not touching.
Add Toppings (Optional): If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or extra salt on top of the crackers before baking.
Bake the Crackers: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp around the edges. Keep an eye on them, as they can burn quickly.
Cool and Serve: Let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet before removing them. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

Storage:

Store these keto crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. You can also freeze them for longer storage and reheat them in the oven to restore their crispness.

These Keto Crackers with Almond Flour are perfect for pairing with your favorite keto dips, cheeses, or as a simple snack on their own. With just a few ingredients and minimal prep, they're a great low-carb alternative to traditional crackers, satisfying your craving for crunch while keeping you on track with your keto lifestyle.
