How to Make Cheesy Keto Crackers
Like all Fathead dough, this recipe is made by combining cheese and almond flour, and adding an egg.
But, you can get seriously derailed if you make a few missteps, so follow along and you’ll be nibbling on crispy keto crackers in no time. Oh, and parchment paper is a MUST for this recipe, so make sure you have some!
Microwave the mozzarella cheese and almond flour for about a minute first to warm everything up.
Give it a good mix, and hit it in the microwave for about 30 more seconds until you no longer see any defined shreds of cheese. It should be all melty and gooey.
Add the egg, mixing very well to combine. No need to get messy with hands; a good spoon will work.
If your dough is too warm, it’ll be a mess to roll out. Let it come to room temperature or pop it into the fridge for a minute or two first.
Roll it thin, but not paper-thin, between two sheets of parchment paper, and BAKE it on the bottom sheet of parchment paper after transferring it to a baking sheet.
Sprinkle it with your favorite seasoning. I used Everything Bagel seasoning.
Bake it for about 10 minutes at 425-F until golden brown. Then turn down the heat and cook it for 5 minutes at 325-F. Pull the sheet pan out, and carefully lift off the dough from the sheet pan and flip it over. Bake it for another 5-10 minutes at 325-F until it is dark golden brown.
Remove it from the oven and let cool. That’s it! Start dipping those Cheesy Keto Crackers!
Chef’s Tips
- Use superfine ground almond flour. If you can’t find the superfine flour, pulse it in a food processor to try to get it a bit more finely ground. This way your crackers will have a better texture.
- Whisk the egg before adding it to the cheese and almond mixture. It’ll blend in more easily.
- Use the palm of your hand to press (gently) the seasoning to your crackers so it doesn’t fall off!
What to Serve With Cheesy Keto Crackers
Of course, the crackers go amazing with just about anything, or you can just nibble on them as a keto snack. I’ve got a Crab Rangoon Dip coming shortly that these crackers are a PERFECT fit with. Or, try it with this tasty Green Goddess Dip.
How To Store Keto Cheesy Crackers
I keep my keto Cheesy Crackers in an air-tight bag in the fridge. They’re fine there for a week. You may need to re-crisp them in the oven.
How Many Carbs Are in Keto Crackers?
I calculated the macros on 1/6 of the dough, so depending on how big you make your crackers, 1/6 of the total works out to 6 grams of carbs in total, 2 grams of fiber, and so that’s a total of 4 net carbs for 1/6 of the whole batch, which is quite a few crackers.

These healthy crackers are a must to make. They sound easy and delicious! A great snack, too:)
These crackers sound really lovely. And it’s very easy to prepare the dough with a microwave, and then rolling between two sheets of parchment paper. 🙂
Yes, and if the dough is too sticky, cool it in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Finally a cracker I can enjoy on my keto diet.
This was really good! I loved it! Thanks for the recipe!
They are so easy to make and very flavorful. I love that you add everything bagel seasoning to them too.
These sound tasty. At what point do you cut them into crackers? Thanks.
Hi Anne,
Great question! I score then before baking them so they’re easier to cut, and then once they’ve baked – and before they’ve cooled – then I cut them the rest of the way.
Hope this helps!
Thank you, Jenn!!
I read, and reread the instructions, and kept thinking I missed something.
I bought an updated 2019 Version Adjustable Rolling Pin, FIREOR Stainless Steel Dough/Fondant Roller with Thickness Rings and Silicone Non Slip Pastry Mat for Baking (from Amazon). It helps me keep anything that needs rolling out an even thickness. The crackers are now next on my “make next” list!
