My family is big on everything bagels. All those spices and seeds add big flavor to a bagel so today I thought why not crackers? These low carb everything crackers are SUPER easy to make and taste great!
The “everything” consists of sesame seeds, sea salt, minced garlic, minced onion and poppy seeds. I have a bottle of this seasoning I got from Trader Joe’s but this spice mix is easy enough to make. These crackers are gluten free and grain free as well as low carb and each cracker has only 0.8g net carbs.
Gluten Free Crackers
I have a few gluten free cracker recipes on this blog. One of my most popular recipes is cashew crackers which uses of course cashew flour. Another recipe uses flax seed and almond flour. The gist of most gluten free cracker recipes is that they use a nut flour and egg whites as a base and season it with herbs and spices.
In this recipe I just made a dough out of almond flour and egg whites. I didn’t season the dough until the end. However you can use the base of this recipe and make all kinds of crackers. I would like to make a rosemary and Parmesan cheese cracker next.
Low Carb Cracker Recipe
You begin by making a dough with almond flour and egg whites. Roll it really thin onto a silicone mat or parchment paper if you want. This can be a little tricky because it’s sticky dough. What you have to do is spray a piece of wax paper, lay it on top of the dough and with a rolling pin, roll it nice and thin. The thinner the dough the crispier the cracker.
For this recipe I put the seasoning on top like you would a bagel. Other recipes I tend to mix the seasoning in the dough. Then you score it with a knife to make your crackers. Make sure not to cut through though.
Bake the crackers for about 12 minutes and take it out of the oven. Break off the browned crackers around the edges and put the tray back into the oven for a few more minutes. Take it back out and break off the browned crackers. Repeat this until the are all brown and done.
Here is a list on Amazon of all the items I used.
Make Your Own EVERYTHING Spice
Above you can see the seasoning I bought from Trader Joe’s. I didn’t use it in the recipe, I made my own. I just mixed equal parts sea salt, dried minced onion, dried minced garlic, sesame seeds and poppy seeds. Next time I’ll try the bottled spice blend so I can compare.
I did these in a rush today and as you can see some of the crackers are a bit thick. Those are the ones in the middle of the cookie sheet. I personally prefer the thinner crispier ones on the ends.
And that is all there is to this recipe. So remember the base of a simple gluten free, low carb cracker is just nut flour and egg whites. Then you can add any seasonings you want. The nutrition for 1 cracker is:
25 cals / 1.6g fat / 1.2g carbs / 0.4g fiber / 1.1g protein = 0.8g net carbs

Can you confirm the 3/4 cup flour to one egg white ratio? This was way too dry to form anything close to a “dough” for me, and is a lot less moisture than you use for this recipe: https://mylifecookbook.com/low-carb-gluten-free-crispbread/
Thank you!
Denise
Hi Joshua, in the crisp bread recipe the added seeds are similar to the flour so it’s really quite comparable but I have two other cracker recipes that use this ratio….

That being said, you can add a little water to your dough or use another egg white. I use extra large eggs so perhaps that is the issue. Also the use of a fine almond flour might make it less crumbly. It’s really just a basic dough with the seasoning giving it all the taste so just add a little more egg white or water to make the dough the consistency you think it should be and you will be fine. Hope that helps and sorry you had problems with it.

We love fresh crackers and the last time we made them they were so-so!! This recipe looks like it makes the type of cracker we crave. The topping is exactly what we’ve been look for to use with our bagels. I’m pinning.

I love making crackers but have never made gluten-free cracker. Love that this is made with almond flour. So simple. I can’t wait to try.
Denise
It’s simple but tasty. I’ve never made them any other way but the almond flour works!
Jolina
These look so addicting! We always buy a box (ok, maybe 2 lol) of crackers at Costco so it would be great to try and make them at home.
Denise
It’s really easy Jolina!
Gloria
I have never tried to make crackers from scratch. I should…since I always have boxes of them. This looks like a fun experiment for a rainy weekend. Can’t wait to see how these taste.
Denise
You will have to let me know how they come out!
Rochelle
can you make these low sodium, and without so many kinds of seeds? or just use sesame seeds? I want to be able to use them with sweet and savory recipes..
Denise
Hi Rochelle,
Yes you can definitely put whatever you want with them. If you want a sweet just add things like cinnamon and sweetener. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Patti
These look really good and remind me of making my own tortillas which was really fun. Can’t wait to try making these.
