Recipe Equipment
To make these homemade keto herb crackers, you’ll need:
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Silicone spatula
- Rolling pin
- Parchment paper
- Baking sheet
- Pizza cutter or sharp knife
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or mix of thyme, oregano, rosemary)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1–2 tablespoons water (as needed)
Why These Ingredients Work
Almond flour provides structure while keeping the crackers low in carbs. Coconut flour absorbs moisture and adds stability. Olive oil adds richness, while herbs and garlic powder bring bold, savory flavor.
Ingredient Notes
- Almond Flour: Use finely ground almond flour for a smooth, crisp texture.
- Herbs: Customize with fresh or dried herbs depending on preference.
- Oil Substitute: Melted butter works if you prefer a richer flavor.
- Water: Add slowly to avoid sticky dough—just enough to hold it together.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, herbs, and garlic powder. Stir until evenly blended.
3. Add Wet Ingredients
Crack in the egg and pour in olive oil. Mix with a spatula until a dough begins to form. If the dough feels dry, add water one tablespoon at a time until smooth but firm.
4. Roll It Thin
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out evenly to about ⅛-inch thickness. The thinner the dough, the crispier your crackers will be.
5. Cut & Score
Remove the top parchment layer and use a pizza cutter to slice into squares or rectangles. Lightly prick each cracker with a fork to prevent puffing.
6. Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until edges turn golden brown. Keep a close eye in the final minutes—thin crackers can brown quickly.
7. Cool & Crisp
Let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet. As they cool, they’ll become perfectly crisp and crunchy.
Pro Tips & Variations
For extra flavor, sprinkle sea salt or grated Parmesan over the dough before baking. Want a spicy kick? Add red pepper flakes or smoked paprika. You can also mix in sesame or chia seeds for added texture and nutrients.
Store these keto herb crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If they soften slightly, pop them back in the oven for 3–4 minutes to restore their crunch.
