Ingredients For Low Carb Cheddar Cheese Crackers
You can make perfectly crispy almond flour crackers with fabulous cheddar flavor, using just a simple combo of eggs, cheese, almond flour, and spices.
- Almond Flour – make sure that you use blanched super fine almond flour. Don’t try to replace it with coconut flour.
- Cheddar Cheese – pre-shredded Cheese typically has anti-caking ingredients that prevent it from fully integrating into the dough. I recommend grating your cheese at home.
- Paprika – use smoked paprika for a pleasant smoky flavor.
- Garlic & onion powder
- Eggs – used to bind all the ingredients together
- Olive Oil – a touch of olive oil to give these crackers the best taste.

- Start by preheating your oven and grating the cheddar cheese.

Tips For The Best Low Carb Cheddar Cheese Crackers
- Chill the dough for about 20 minutes to make it easier to roll and cut into your preferred shape.
- Use sharp cheddar cheese that has been freshly shredded.
- If you want a strong garlicky flavor, use fresh garlic minced instead of garlic powder.
- Make sure the crackers aren’t too thick, or else they on crisp up while baking.
- Use your favorite herbs and spices, such as everything but bagel seasoning, rosemary, or taco seasoning.
Why is My Dough Crumbly?
The moisture content of some cheeses is lower than that of others. If your dough is crumbly after combining all of the ingredients together, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it comes together. Also, make sure you’re using blanched superfine almond flour rather than an almond meal. Coconut flour won’t work!
Variations
- Finely chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, can be incorporated into the dough.
- Seeds such as sesame, poppy, or crushed sunflower seeds can be spread over the no carb crackers.
- If you want a little heat, you can add some red pepper chili flakes.
How To Store Cheddar Crackers
- Once they’ve cooled fully, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
- Freezer: You can freeze the dough and bake some crackers whenever you want. Just roll the dough in plastic wrap and freeze it for up to three months.
Can I Make Gluten-Free Crackers in My Air Fryer?
Yes, you can make air fryer cheddar crackers. Just make the crackers dough as instructed, then arrange them in your air fryer basket and bake at 350F/ 180C for 8 minutes. Flip them halfway.

Could you use sunflower seed flour instead due to nut allergies?
I’m not sure how these would taste with sunflower seed, but it should work since these flours have the same consistency. If you try it, let me know how it turned out!
