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 was hesitant to comment because there were so many comments already on this post, but whatever. These crackers are amazing. I added about a teaspoon of Bagel seasoning and it was perfect. I rolled the dough in teaspoon-sized circles and then flattened them out accordingly. Worked like a charm. I will definitely make these again. Thanks so, so much. I
So glad you enjoyed these crackers, Deanna. And I really appreciate you coming back to leave a review. It means the world to me. 🙂
This is a really good cracker!
Try this— place the dough on a Silpat mat topped with parchment then roll it out. Peel off the parchment (and reuse on the next batch) slide the Silpat onto a cookie sheet and bake. voilá. Less salt works just fine and allows the buttery almond flour to sing.
Can this be made with a different flour? I am allergic to nuts.
Hey Latricia – I haven’t tried making these crackers with a different flour, so I’m not sure how they’d turn out.
If I were to add Lupin flour to the mix, how much could I susbtitute for the almond flour?
Hey Christine – I’ve never experimented with Lupin flour, so I’m not sure how to substitute it with almond flour. Let me know if you try it and how these crackers turn out. 🙂
Hi Brittany, I made these and couldn’t believe have Awesome they taste. Question. What kind of almond flour do you use. I use Bobs red mill almond flour. Thank you So much for the recipe
So glad you loved these crackers, Mary!! I love using Bob’s Red Mill almond flour as well. 🙂
How long can you keep these crackers stored?
Hey Jeff – you can store these in an air-tight container or bag and keep them on the counter or pantry. They should last about 4-5 days.
Thanks so much for this recipe. I make these all the time. Even guests who are not on a keto diet like these. I sprinkle them with celery salt just before baking. So good!
Ahh yay! That makes me so happy to hear, Mary. So glad you’ve been loving this recipe. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it!
Easy and delicious
Super easy! Super delicious!
I have been eyeing making crackers in my own for a while, but so many of them called for ingredients I didn’t readily have… until this one! Not only did I have the ingredients, but it was simple, straightforward and delicious with the perfect amount of flavor and crunch! I was able to fully prep, make and bake these crackers all while my toddlers had breakfast. Thank you
Ahh yay! That makes me so happy to hear, Kim. I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I really appreciate it. 🙂
I’ve been searching for crackers to go with a cheeseball. I’ve tried a few and although okay, they were just not cracker like. So I watched Highfalutin’ Low Carb on youtube (I love this guy). On this particular show he was reviewing crackers. Yours was one of them. At first I was thinking, “there’s no way almond flour, flax, salt and water will make a good cracker.” The crispiness it had when he took a bite was exactly what I was looking for. After watching I figured why not try it. the ingredients are cheap enough and didn’t require a lot of time. So not much of an investment. Wow!!! I am so glad I did. My boyfriend just loves them too. Thank you so much for such a simple but truly awesome cracker. Exactly what I was looking for. My friend brought the planned cheeseball and all I can say is amazing. These are truly my favorite low carb crackers. Again…thank you so much.
Ahh this makes me so happy to hear, Charlie!! I’m so glad you found this recipe and that you enjoyed it. 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment + star rating. The reviews are super helpful for other readers, so I appreciate it!
