Easiest Keto Crackers Ever

Ingredients:

  • 1 Egg
  • 2 Tsp Pink Himalayan Salt or Redmond Salt ( or to taste)
  • 1 Tsp Black Pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 3/4 Cup Almond Flour – Finely ground variety

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  1. Whisk egg, salt, and pepper together.
  2. Add the almond flour and stir with a spoon until crumbly.
  3. Knead the dough together with your hands until you get a nice, smooth ball.
  4. Place between two pieces of parchment paper (approx18x 13 size – or half size professional baking pan.)
  5. Roll out the dough, very thin. It will be about 1/16 of an inch. For crisp crackers that bake evenly and quickly, be sure to roll them thin. It should take up most of the 18 x 13 parchment paper.
  6. Use a pizza wheel to cut lines lengthwise and then crosswise to get squares/rectangles.
  7. Use a fork to gently pierce each square for more even baking.
  8. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
  9. After the first ten minutes, pull the pan out and check for any lightly browned crackers. They are done and will be around the edges. You can go ahead and remove them from the pan onto another plate to cool. Put the other crackers back in the oven for two minutes. More crackers should be done at this time, just use a spatula to remove them onto the cooling plate. Put in for another two minutes. Continue in this way until all the crackers are removed. If you have a really good quality convection oven, this may not be necessary. 10-12 minutes and they may all be evenly cooked. Often, however, the baking isn’t completely even, so it’s better to check them and remove the finished ones, moving from the outside to the inside. These crackers are so good, they are worth the effort!

Dishing on this Dish: Crackers are so expensive anymore! It’s driving me crazy. Here is an awesome recipe that works like a charm, tastes great, and is keto as well!

What’s in the Cupboard: I made these with eggs but I see no reason why chia eggs or egg alternative wouldn’t work just as well. If you try it, let me know how they turn out.
