Keto Crackers with Almond Flour 🧀🥑
Ingredients:

  • 2 cups almond flour (blanched, for smooth texture)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (more to taste, optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for flavor)
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for added crunch)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

2. Mix the Ingredients:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, and any optional seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning).
  • Add the beaten egg to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. It should come together as a firm dough, but not too sticky.

3. Roll the Dough:

  • Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/8 inch thickness. The thinner you roll the dough, the crispier the crackers will be.

4. Cut the Crackers:

  • Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the dough into square or rectangular cracker shapes. You can also use a cookie cutter for fun shapes.

5. Bake the Crackers:

  • Transfer the cut dough (with parchment paper) onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
  • Let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet, as they will crisp up more as they cool.

6. Store and Enjoy:

  • Store the crackers in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy with your favorite keto-friendly dips, cheese, or spreads!
