These keto crackers are made with just 2 ingredients: almond flour and cheese. Baked to crispy and crunchy perfection, these make the best savory snack.
Love savory keto snacks? Try my keto tortilla chips, chicharrones, and parmesan crisps.
These low carb crackers were adapted from my keto tortilla chips. By flattening out the dough to become a little bit thinner and switching out the cheese used, I was able to create my own keto version of wheat thins. Actually, a keto version of cheeze-its!

Why I love this recipe
- Perfect cracker texture and flavor. Crispy, crunchy, salty, and cheesy.
- Quick and easy. No chill time or excessive prep is needed, nor any fancy kitchen gadgets. These bake in just 12 minutes.
- Customizable. For a more plain cracker, you can easily skip the cheese. You can also add spices and seasonings of choice.
Ingredients needed
- Almond flour. You want to use blanched almond flour, and not almond meal. The latter will make the crackers heavy and dense and risk falling apart once baked.
- Shredded cheese. I used cheddar cheese, as it gives the crackers extra crispiness and holds together the best. You can also use mozzarella cheese.
- Salt and pepper. To taste. Avoid adding salt until after the crackers are made, as the cheese is already quite flavorful and salty.
- Water. Optional, but only add it if the dough needs extra binding.
How to make low carb crackers
Step 1- Make the dough. Add almond flour and shredded cheese to a food processor or high-speed blender and blend well until a dough appears. If the dough is too crumbly, add a little water.
Step 2- Roll out. Place the dough onto a piece of parchment paper, and place another piece of parchment paper on top. Roll it out until flat and thin. Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into squares.
Step 3- Bake. Place the crackers onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes before flipping and cooking for a further 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
Arman’s recipe tips and variations
- The thinner you roll the dough out, the crispier the crackers will be.
- Use a pizza cutter to cut up the dough into crackers. It will be infinitely easier to slice more evenly.
- Do not overbake the crackers, as they continue to crisp up as they are cooling down. Once they have turned golden brown around the edges, remove them.
- Feel free to add some spices to the dough to give it extra flavor. Oregano, basil, and smoked paprika are all fantastic additions.
Storage instructions
To store- Store crackers at room temperature in an airtight container. They will remain fresh for at least 3 days. You can refrigerate them to keep them longer.
To freeze- Place crackers in a ziplock bag and store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven once thawed out.
Frequently asked questions
If you own an air fryer, you can save time by baking them there instead. Simply prepare the crackers as directed and place them on a single layer in the air fryer basket. ‘Fry’ at 200C/400F for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
If you’d like to make plain keto crackers, replace the cheese with 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil.
If your cooled crackers have become slightly soft, you can quickly remedy it. Simply place the crackers in a preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes until crispy again.

Just the right amount of cheese. Don’t miss my cheez its. Great recipe and easy!
Another simple and very tasty recipe! I used a couple tablespoons of Frank’s hot sauce instead of water and the result was very similar to hot and spicy Cheezits. Thanks!
Very welcome, Greg!
Love these crackers! Crunchy and delicious! I made them exactly like the recipe except I only had to bake mine for 10 min total. that means either my oven cooks hotter or they weren’t as thick as the recipe suggests.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. If I could give 6 stars I would
Super crackers!
Simple easy recipe which makes nice crispy cheesy keto crackers.
(I add a sprinkle of sesame seeds too)
I’m not sure if I just missed it but I have scanned a few times. How many are considered a serving? These are GREAT!
Hi Vicky! It depends on how big or small you slice them up.
These are sooooooooo easy and my family is addicted
I used A2 goats milk cheese and experimenting with differ t spices like even ranch powder mix
Thank-you for this recipe. These crackers are delicious! I made a few revisions by adding a teaspoon of butter and some rosemary. I’m sure they’d also taste great with other seasonings, like oregano, garlic, chives, etc. and also with some sesame seeds. So many options to try!
I have never been disappointed by any recipe of yours that I’ve tried. Thank you for whole healthy real food recipes!
You are so welcome!
Look like súper easy recipe to make. Any substitute for Vegans? , Can I use Plant based cheese? Such shredded Cheddar from Violife?
You are welcome to experiment and see!
Have you ever thought of rolling bits of dough into small balls and placing on parchment paper, then flattening them with a glass for instance, rather than doing all that rolling, cutting and separating? Being rather lazy myself, I just thought that since it is done with cookies, why not for these crackers?
That would work very well!
I have been looking for a healthy snack recipe for my kids.
These keto crackers are very easy to make and tasty.
I made 8 servings of crackers and they disappeared right away.
I’m going to make some more soon, and I also want to try different recipes of yours.
Thank you for the beautiful website too, Arman.
