Finding easy to make low carb snacks is not an easy task, but today I am sharing with you one of my favorite keto snack recipes, that’s so easy to make.
At first, I thought it was a weird combination, but after I baked the crackers and let them cool down, I ended up with extremely crispy, nutty, and tasty goodness.
If you are looking for a quick low carb snack to munch on, you are in the right place. After I made my first batch, I made another one to have on hand for the whole week. They are super easy to make, versatile and the perfect replacement for potato chips.

Keto Crackers – Nutty and Delicious
Who says you can’t enjoy a good crunch when switching to a keto lifestyle even though chips and grains are not on the allowed food list?
Well, some people suggest eating a few slices of a cucumber when looking for quick low carb snacks, and while that’s a good idea and will make you eat more vegetables; for me, it’s not satisfying enough.
You can definitely buy healthy keto snacks online from any other health store, but they usually have added ingredients that are not keto compliant or are insanely expensive.
The crackers are good to eat on their own as a quick low carb snack, but I prefer them better topped with high-quality grass-fed butter and salt. You can also dip them in guacamole or other keto dips.
I also gathered a huge list of 54 quick low carb snacks you can enjoy while following a keto diet. It includes both sweet and savory snacks idea.
Seed Cracker Ingredients
To make these crackers, I use all the seeds I had in my pantry, almond meal, and coconut oil to bind everything together, adding extra healthy fats to ensure that the crackers turn out crunchy and golden.
- Sunflower Seeds – provide a nutty flavor and crunchiness to the crackers. They are also a good source of vitamin E.
- Pumpkin Seeds – also called pepitas, they are a great sources of healthy fats, protein, and minerals such as zinc, magnesium, and potassium.
- Sesame Seeds – provide a good amount of fiber, protein, and healthy fats. Sesame seeds are also rich in antioxidants and minerals like calcium and iron.
- Flax Seeds and Chia Seeds – are essential to use in this recipe because they help the ingredients bind well. You can substitute one for another but use the same total quantity.
- Almond Flour – serves as the base of the crackers and provides a nutty flavor and texture. It is also a good source of protein and healthy fats.
- Coconut Oil – adds extra healthy fats and ensures that the crackers will turn out crunchy and golden.
Tip: If you don’t have chia seeds, use 1/2 cup flax seeds and vice-versa.
How to Make Keto Crackers
- Gather all the seeds and nuts you can find in your pantry. You’ll need about 1/2 cup of each. The most important are the chia seeds and the flax seeds.
- Use hot boiling water to activate the chia seeds and flaxseed. These two small seeds act as a binder.
- Use 2 tbsp of coconut oil or butter to make sure that the crackers turn out perfectly crispy and roasted.
- Bake at low temperature for half an hour and then cut them into pieces.
- Let them cook for another 15 minutes or until all the moisture is gone. Keep an eye on the crackers, as the seeds tend to burn quickly.
- Once you remove them from the oven, allow them to completely cool down on a rack, and then enjoy plain or with butter on top!
Recipe Variations
- Everything bagel seed crackers: Mix together sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic flakes, dried onion flakes, and salt. Mix into the mixture or sprinkle on top before baking.
- Rosemary and sea salt seed crackers: Mix together chopped fresh rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Add 2 tablespoons of Parmesan: Mix together grated Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast, dried oregano, dried basil, and salt. Sprinkle the mixture over the seed crackers before baking.
- Spicy seed crackers: Mix together chili powder, cumin, paprika, and salt.
- Cheesy jalapeño seed crackers: Mix together grated cheddar cheese, finely chopped jalapeños, and salt.
- To make the crackers sweet, add a few tablespoons of your favorite sweetener.

Loving your recipes! Thank you for all of this.
My family are fussy eaters so won't eat seed bars so I wondered if you have tried grinding the seeds (to disguise them). Does the recipe still work?
I've never tried grinding the seeds but I have the feeling it will work just fine. If you try it let me know how it turned out.
I made these last week and I’m now making another batch. It wasn’t until 4 days later I found out how delicious the crackers are with strong cheddar cheese. Yesterday Hubby brought some out to the garden with cheese and pickled onions hmmm even tastier. I’m now experimenting to make a sweet version at hubby’s request.
Hey, that's awesome. I am super happy you loved the keto crackers. They are super easy to make and I am always snacking on them with butter on top!
Hi! These look amazing! I don’t have pumpkin seeds on hand, so do you think I could double up or even triple up on the sunflower seeds? Thank you!
Yes, you can use any seeds you have on hand.
Great recipe base. I make a garlic salt and rosemary one for a savoury flavour. For a sweeter batch I drizzle dark chocolate with a pinch of pink salt over the crackers once they have cooled down.
Awesome recipe.
Thank you
This was so good! I'm a bloke who works from home and wanted to make a nice day time snack. This caught my eye as something that my partner could also enjoy as she has low carb requirements. I didn't have many sesame seeds left, not even a quarter cup, but it still worked. After the recommended baking time mine were still chewy and too moist. I cranked the temperature up to 180C (355F) and changed to fan forced for about an additional 20 minutes. Perfection. I'm addicted to trying these will all sorts of different condiments. So far Vegemite is my favourite!
Love the recipe and even more so as I’ve just put the nutritional information into Cronometer and as the carbs are 1g per 2 crackers and fibre is also 1g the net carb calculation used for keto diets is 0g!
I can not believe how great these turned out! Thank you!
This sounds delicious, but will those chia seeds continue to expand in the stomach?
They are already expanded by the time you bake them.
Delicious and shared with friends. Making another batch tonight. 🙂
Excellent recipe and it comes together so easily. I’ve made this several times now and it is definitely something I’ll be making at least once a week. I’ve tried it with whole and milled flax seeds and I think I like it better with the milled. I’ve tried it without sesame seeds because I had run out but I think the crackers are much better with the sesame seeds. The recipe doesn’t mention when to add the salt so I’m not sure if it is intended to be mixed in or sprinkled on the top. In any case, I like mine a little more salty so I use 1 to 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt mixed in. I’ve also tried the recipe with coconut flour and it is just as good. I spread the mixture between two sheets of parchment paper using a rolling pin. It fills my half sheet cake pan completely. I also have to bake it for a total of about 90 minutes then I let it cool down in the warm oven until I can handle the pan with bare hands. I finish cooling on wire racks. I too love these with a little butter but they’re also good with a little cheese, guacamole, or hummus. Like other commenters I will probably experiment with herbs and spices for some savory crackers. I was looking for a seed cracker recipe; this is the first one I tried and I don’t think I need to look any further.
I have made these a few times. I added some rosemary and nutritional yeast to the mix. I also sprinkled salt in top of the crackers before baking. I also bumped the baking temperature by 25 degrees. These are a favourite in my house.
Curious how much nutritional yeast you add…
These are the best seed crackers I have had. I make a batch pretty much every week to snack on with cheese. Coconut floor as a substitute works just fine. This week I am experimenting with some Tuscany seasoning. Love these crackers!!
I have ground the pumpkin and sunflower seeds and used milled flaxseeds. Chia and sesame seeds were left whole. I used butter rather than coconut oil. I only did half the quantities and made sure the mix was thin enough. They have turned out really tasty. I preferred it this way than leaving them whole. Lovely recipe. Thanks, Jackie
My previous comment should have been 5*. Just in case it didn’t go through. Also when I did this with the butter (which is salted)I forgot about the salt. I found they are salty enough.
Great recipe
So glad you made this recipe for you. You’re too kind!!
THIS IS MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE CRACKER RECIPE! I WANT TO BAKE 2 BATCHES AT A TIME USING 15in X 21in BAKING SHEETS. HOW MANY MINUTES OUGHT I BAKE THEM B4 I ROTATE ON UPPER & LOWER OVEN RACKS? APPRECIATE UR POSTING THIS! TY! BELLE
So delicious and ridiculously simple. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I made these today, even my husband liked them, however, I baked them for an hour and a half to get them crisp. I doubled the recipe and used 2 half sheet pans. Next time I will use 3 half sheet pans…thinner is definitely better.
These work really well with my keto diet and increase my daily fiber intake. I add a half cup of everything bagel seasoning and increase the water by about a quarter cup. I spread them thin enough that I get 2 sheet pans from a recipe. The crumbles get sprinkled on top of salads.
I love your idea of adding everything bagel seasoning. Can’t wait to try it too!
These have really saved me money! I love them!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’m thrilled to hear that my easy seed crackers have been a money-saving and enjoyable addition to your routine. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we’re delighted that you love them.
