Homemade almond flour crackers with 4 simple ingredients: almond flour, water, flaxseed and salt. They’re low-carb, gluten-free and delish!
If you’re on the hunt for delicious, low-carb crackers, you’re in the right place. These crackers are rich, buttery and super easy to whip up with only four ingredients!
Aren’t Homemade Crackers Hard to Make?
If you’re unsure about making your own crackers, you’re not alone! To be honest, it took me years to finally try my hand at it. I always thought they were difficult to make or took too long. It turns out that they’re really easy and require no time at all to whip up!
Are Almond Flour Crackers Healthy?
One of the main reasons I like making my own crackers is that I know exactly what they’re made out of. Most crackers you find at the store have a super long ingredient list full of fillers and preservatives. And they’re usually made with processed white flour.
There is little nutritional value in most store-bought crackers, but these almond flour crackers are different. They have no added sugar and they’re loaded with fiber, protein and healthy fats thanks to the almond flour.
What You Need to Make The Crackers
Here are the simple ingredients you need to make these almond flour crackers:
- almond flour – make sure you grab almond flour and not almond meal! Almond flour is more finely ground than almond meal and results in a lighter cracker.
- ground flaxseed – the flaxseed adds healthy fats and fiber to the crackers and helps bind them together.
- sea salt – I like to mix in fine grain sea salt into the cracker and then top with flaked sea salt for serving! I love Maldon salt flakes!
- water – this moistens the dough and brings the crackers together.
Optional Mix-ins
I kept the recipe simple with sea salt and no additional spices or herbs, but you can add any seasonings you’d like. Here are some ideas:
- Everything but the Bagel seasoning – I love this seasoning on any and everything… I actually have a recipe for everything bagel crackers.
- Fresh herbs – any dried or fresh herbs would be lovely. I’m dreaming out mixing some rosemary into my next batch.
- Garlic – try adding a little garlic powder or garlic granules for a savory cracker.
- Italian seasoning – add in some Italian seasoning for the ultimate herby cracker.
How to Serve Homemade Crackers
If you’re like my husband, you judge crackers based on their ability to hold hummus. Lucky for him (and you!) these almond flour crackers are extra sturdy and perfect for holding copious amounts of hummus… or cheese… or whatever topping you like!
Here are some of our favorite ways to eat them:
- With hummus – we love pairing these crackers with hummus… either creamy hummus, beet hummus or even lima bean hummus.
- Meat and cheese – can’t go wrong with this classic combo.
- Charcuterie board – add these homemade crackers to your next charcuterie board and impress all of your guests.
- Peanut butter – want a creamy, protein filled snack? Spread a little peanut butter on each cracker and enjoy!
- Salmon dip – this smoked salmon dip loaded with flavor and packed with protein. The perfect flavor pairing for these crackers!
- Pesto dip – if you’re a Bitchin’ Sauce fan, you’ll love this copycat recipe for almond pesto dip.
How to Store Homemade Crackers
These almond flour crackers store super well! Allow them to cool completely before storing. You can keep them in an airtight container or a bag and keep them on the counter or in your pantry for 4-5 days.
If you need to store for longer, you can freeze these crackers for up to 1 month.

Almond Flour Crackers
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour, not almond meal
- 3 Tablespoons water
- 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- flaked sea salt, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Add almond flour, water, ground flaxseed, and sea salt into a medium sized bowl and stir together until the mixture turns into dough.
- Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and cover with a second piece of parchment.
- Pat it out with your hands and then use a rolling pin to roll out the dough. You’ll want the dough to get pretty thin — about an 1/8 of inch thick. Try to keep form the dough into a rectangular shape, but it’s okay if it’s not perfect.
- Once the dough is rolled out, remove the top sheet of paper and sprinkle a bit of flaked sea salt over the dough. Use your hands to press the salt down to help it stick. This step is optional, but the flaked sea salt makes the crackers really pretty.
- With the top sheet of parchment removed, use a pizza wheel or knife to cut the dough into small squares. I made mine about 1/2 -1 inch. If you want to get fancy you can use a tooth pick to create a little hole in the center of each cracker.
- Carefully transfer crackers (still on parchment paper) to a baking sheet and bake the crackers for 20-25 minutes or until the crackers turn golden brown and crispy. The pieces on the outer edges will get brown faster than the center pieces. You can transfer those that are golden to a cooling rack and put the pan back in the oven to bake the remaining crackers.
- Let the crackers cool completely, either on the baking sheet or on a cooling rack. Enjoy immediately after cooling.
- Place any leftover crackers in an airtight container or bag. Crackers will keep on the counter or in the pantry for about 4-5 days.

I made these!! Halved the recipe just to try and it turned out wonderful. Added ground sage and tasted divine, and made the house smell like fresh baked pizza bread 🥰 Will 10/10 make again!
Yay!! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe, Miriam! Thanks for the review 🙂
I haven’t tried the recipe yet. If you add a seasoning how much do you use? Thank you. Very anxious to try.
I would start with 1 Tablespoon and add more if you like.
Awesome crackers. I put pizza spice
On mine instead
Of salt. Delish.
Yay! I’m so glad you’re enjoying these crackers, Deanna! Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it!
Hi! I am always looking for new recipes for a crunchy cracker, as I am on a low carb diet. I tried making these according to instructions and unfortunately they were soft and pliable after baking. I often find this with the almond ‘flour’ we get in the UK. I wonder if the addition of bakers ammonia might help, as it is known to lighten up certain baked goods? Thank you for the recipe.
Hey Lesley – Sorry to hear that these turned out soft. How thick did you make your crackers and did you change anything about the recipe?
Easy to make and really delicious. You don’t need to grind the flex seed. I just put it into the mixture. It looks very pretty after the crackers are baked and saves you one more thing to clean.
Taste is really terrific.
So glad you enjoyed these crackers, Naomi! Thanks for making them and for the review. I so appreciate it!
added some onion and garlic powder and served with pimento cheese!!! soooooo yummy and super filling
Woo! I’m so glad these crackers were a hit, Ashlyn! Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it!
I made these adding fresh rosemary from my tree and they are great. I think I would skip the additional salt on top. I only had pink Himalayan and at each that makes a difference. They remind me of those expensive crackers that come in gift baskets.
Woo! So glad you loved these, Laurie. Thanks for making them and for the review. I so appreciate it!
will be making this soon perfect for my snacks at home while i work on the computer and phone will dm you if i make this and let you know how it goes Thanks Ramya
Let me know how it turns out, Ramya 🙂
I just made a batch of these. They were gone really quickly by my husband and daughters that are 6 and 8 years old. Thank you for this healthy treat recipe. We loved it!
Yay! I’m so glad these crackers were a hit, Amy! Thanks so much for the review. It means the world to me!
Ooooohhhh my! So easy, so delicious. I was making a similar recipe, although it included oil and a GF flour blend and they were almost good, and these are for real good lol. I just made my second batch in two days (first was a double batch, this one a triple!!) because my toddlers ate them so fast. I added garlic powder and herbs. I also attempted to make a chocolate version, that was almost good. Just needed more sugar. 3 cups almond flour, 3 tbsp flax meal, 3 tbsp cacao, 5 tbsp coconut sugar (do more, I’d say 7 or 8), 1/2 tsp salt, 11 tbsp water. 5 tbsp of sugar was passable for a dark chocolate lover but if you’re trying to please toddlers as I am, more sugar is necessary lol.
Yay! I’m so pumped these almond crackers have been such a hit, Sarah! Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it!
Hey there Brittany =) These are amazing & simple & delicious~ LOVE them! The batch in your photos look like they have extra herbs or spices added to them- beyond what’s listed in the recipe? Would be curious to know what they are, if you don’t mind~ looks even yummier than the original, which remind me a lot of wheat thins when I add a tiny drop of sweetener & extra salt.
