The Best Low-Carb & Gluten-Free Cheese Crackers

Stony loves savory crackers, and honestly, our whole family does too! I have been searching for a healthy, delicious recipe for years, and finally, I have found the perfect one.

This is the best low-carb cheese cracker recipe I have come across so far, and I now bake it every single week. We enjoy them in place of bread for sandwiches or paired with our favorite healthy dips. They are crunchy, delicious, and amazingly savory—truly a staple snack in our home.

These low-carb and gluten-free cheese crackers are made with a nutritious almond flour base. Best of all, they require only 10 minutes of prep time and 15 minutes to bake.

Ingredients

(This recipe makes about 30 crackers)

1 ¼ cup almond flour (blanched almond flour or almond meal)
⅛ tsp Himalayan pink salt (or sea salt)
¼ tsp baking soda
½ cup freshly grated cheddar cheese (extra sharp cheddar is highly recommended!)
2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil (canola oil works as well)
1 large egg

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix the dough: In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix thoroughly until a dough forms.
Prepare for rolling: Cut two pieces of parchment paper to the size of your baking sheet. Place one piece of parchment paper on a cutting board and put the dough in the center. Place the second piece of parchment paper on top of the dough and roll it out to an even thickness.
Score the crackers: Remove the top layer of parchment paper and score the dough into cracker-sized pieces using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife. Carefully slide the bottom parchment paper with the scored dough onto your baking sheet.
Bake: Bake the crackers for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and crispy.
Cool and break: Let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet for about 30 minutes. Once cooled, snap them into individual pieces along the scored lines.
Store: Keep your crackers fresh by storing them in an airtight container for up to a few days.
