Looking for a nutritious snack that’s simple to cook and delicious? These almond flour crackers are exactly what you need. They are ideal for anyone following a low-carb, keto, or gluten-free diet, as they only contain two primary ingredients: almond flour and an egg.
These crackers are crispy, light, and ideal for dipping or eating on their own.
Ingredients You’ll Need
To make these healthy crackers, you only need a few things:
- 2 cups superfine almond flour
- 1 large egg
- Sea salt (optional, for extra taste)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (about 180°C). Line two baking trays with parchment paper so the crackers don’t stick.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a food processor, add the almond flour and the egg. Mix them until they come together to form a soft dough. The dough should be smooth and easy to handle.
Step 3: Roll Out the Dough
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough until it’s very thin – about 1/16 inch thick. This makes the crackers crisp when baked.
Step 4: Cut into Crackers
Cut the rolled dough into small square or rectangular cracker shapes. I suggest making them about 1¼ inch squares, but you can choose any size or shape you like. Use a chopstick or a fork to poke small holes in each cracker to help them bake evenly.
Step 5: Prepare for Baking
Place the cut crackers onto the lined baking trays. If you like, sprinkle a little sea salt on top of each one for extra flavour.
Step 6: Bake the Crackers
Bake the crackers for around 10 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes because they can overbake very quickly and turn dark brown.
These almond flour crackers are not only easy to make but also healthy and tasty. Whether you’re on a keto diet, avoiding gluten, or just want a clean snack, these crackers are a great option. You can enjoy them with hummus, cheese, or just as they are.
They store well too, so you can make a batch and snack on them throughout the week. Homemade always tastes better—and these crackers prove it!
