I don’t know about you but I’ve had a hard time finding good low carb crackers. My favorite is herb flavored Mary’s Gone Crackers but they are hard to find in the stores sometimes so I decided to try to make my own. While these don’t taste exactly like those these are full of flavor, lower in carbs and perfect for a low carb crunchy snack! 

These easy low carb crackers are made with almond flour,  seeds, spices and even parmesan cheese. There are only 1g net carbs in 5 crackers and  5.5g of protein! I eat them plain but they would be delicious with a good piece of cheese.

Ingredients For This Low Carb Cracker Recipe

The base of this cracker recipe is almond flour, sesame seeds, chia seeds and flax seed meal. However you can use other nut flours to substitute for the almond flour and different seeds to vary the flavor.  These are what I had on hand so that is why I used them. 

For flavoring I used herbs to mimic those Mary’s Gone Crackers that I like so much. I used garlic powder, thyme, sage, soy sauce and Parmesan cheese. 

Making The Low Carb Crackers Dough

All you have to do to make the dough is mix all the ingredients together. Start with the almond flour, spices, Parmesan cheese, flax seed, chia seeds and sesame seeds in a bowl and mix well. Then add the egg whites and soy sauce. 

I started using a spoon to mix the dough but then I got in there and used my hands.  I made two shapes for the crackers, round and square and first we will make the round.

To Make Round Crackers

I originally want to make crackers like Mary’s Gone Crackers which are round. This was somewhat of a pain to do but here’s how.

Place a piece of parchment paper on a cookie tray. Roll very small balls and place on the cookie tray evenly spaced out.

Then take another piece of parchment paper (small piece) and spray with cooking spray. Press down until the balls make a very thin cracker.

Peel off the parchment paper and continue. I had to spray my sheet many times because the dough is sticky.

After a tray full of round crackers I got impatient and went the easy route with square crackers.

Making Square Low Carb Crackers

Place the dough on a large silicone mat or piece of parchment paper cut to fit your cookie sheet. Take another piece of parchment or wax paper and spray it with cooking oil.

Place the wax paper sprayed side down and use a rolling pin to make a very thin sheet of dough. You may need to play around with this to get it nice and even in thickness.

Use a knife or pizza cutter and score the crackers but do not cut all the way through. Bake for 15 minutes in a 350°F oven. Take out and if the edges are browning but not the middle, break off the ends and place back inside for a few more minutes. Continue doing this until you have the desired crispiness of your crackers.

Above you can see how I broke a few off the edges and baked the rest. I only did this once but depending on how evenly you get the dough you might have to do this more than once.

How To Store These Homemade Crackers

I just keep these in a sealed baggie or container on the counter. They tend to get a bit soft, but you could bake them for a few minutes in the oven to crisp them up if you don’t like the texture.
