Cooking Instructions
Let’s get started on these incredibly easy, ridiculously delicious keto crackers! The process is straightforward, and you’ll be rewarded with a batch of homemade goodness in no time.
1. Preheat and Prepare Your Baking Sheet
First things first, get your oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). This consistent, moderate temperature is perfect for ensuring your crackers bake through evenly without burning. While the oven heats up, prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. This is a crucial step for preventing the crackers from sticking and makes for a breeze of a cleanup later. You want the parchment paper to cover the entire surface of the baking sheet.
2. Combine the Dry Ingredients and Cheese
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add your 1 cup of almond flour and the 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Give these a quick whisk to distribute the salt evenly throughout the almond flour. Then, add your 1 cup of shredded cheese to the bowl. The cheese is going to act as a binder and contribute to that irresistible savory flavor and a slightly crispy texture as it bakes. Use your hands or a fork to begin extract mixing the almond flour, salt, and cheese together. You want to incorporate them until the mixture starts to look somewhat crum extractbly, with the cheese and almond flour starting to meld.
3. Incorporate Water and Form the Dough
Now it’s time to bring it all together. Add 1 tablespoon of water to the bowl. Start mixing again, using your hands to really work the ingredients together. The goal is to form a cohesive dough that you can handle. If the mixture still feels too dry and crum extractbly, and you can’t get it to hold together when you squeeze it, add the second tablespoon of water, a little at a time, until it just comes together. Be careful not to add too much water, as this can make the dough sticky and harder to work with. You’re looking for a dough that’s soft and pliable, not wet or sticky. Once the dough forms, gather it into a ball.
4. Roll Out the Dough
Place the dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Now, here’s a tip for getting a nice, even thickness: place another sheet of parchment paper on top of the dough. Then, using a rolling pin, roll out the dough evenly between the two sheets of parchment paper. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8th to 1/4th of an inch. The thinner you roll it, the crispier your crackers will be. The thicker you roll it, the more they’ll have a slight chew to them. Rolling it out between parchment paper prevents the dough from sticking to your rolling pin and makes it much easier to transfer to the baking sheet if it’s not already there. Gently peel off the top layer of parchment paper once you’ve achieved your desired thickness.
5. Score and Bake the Crackers
Now for the fun part where we get these ready to bake! Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, score the dough into your desired cracker shapes. You can make squares, rectangles, or even triangles. Scoring them now means you can easily break them apart after they bake, rather than trying to cut them when they’re hot and fragile. A light scoring is all you need; you don’t want to cut all the way through. Place the baking sheet with the scored dough into your preheated oven. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crackers appear set. Keep a close eye on them, especially in the last few minutes, as they can go from perfectly golden to burnt very quickly due to the cheese. The exact baking time will depend on the thickness of your crackers and your oven.
6. Cool and Enjoy!
Once baked to perfection, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the crackers cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. This allows them to firm up. Then, you can break them apart along the scored lines. For extra crispiness, you can let them cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, these keto crackers are ready to be devoured! They’re fantastic on their own, or you can pair them with your favorite keto-friendly dips like guacamole, cream cheese, or a low-carb salsa. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a few days. You’ll be amazed at how satisfying and simple these are!

Frequently Asked Questions:
What are the two ingredients?
The two core ingredients for these amazing keto crackers are almond flour and cream cheese. That’s it – pure keto simplicity!
Can I use a different type of flour?
While almond flour is ideal for its keto-friendly fat content and texture, you might experiment cautiously with coconut flour. However, be aware that coconut flour absorbs liquid differently and may require adjustments to the cream cheese ratio. For the best results, we highly recommend sticking with almond flour for these 2-ingredient keto crackers.
How should I store these crackers?
Store your cooled keto crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week to maintain their crispness.
