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.

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.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F/ 180°C.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients until a ball of dough forms. If the dough looks too dry, add a few tablespoons of cold water.
  • Grab a sheet of parchment paper and add the ball of dough on top.
  • Slightly flatten the dough with your hands and place another sheet of parchment paper on top.
  • Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a large rectangle to 1/8-inch thickness.
  • Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into 1-inch squares. I used a ruler to figure out where to cut the dough for perfect squares.
  • Transfer the cheddar crackers to a baking tray and bake for 18-20 minutes or until crispy and golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely, then break into crackers. Makes about 100 crackers.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

    1. 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!

  1. Hi there, thank you for this recipe! So no need to melt the cheddar cheese and then combine with almond flour? Please advise. Thanks!

    1. That’s right. You just add the shredded cheddar to the mixture, but I shred the cheese at home. You can check the step-by-step video on my youtube channel. If you try the recipe, let me know how the crackers turned out!!
