Karen says
I made your paleo bagels this weekend. They were fabulous! I sprinkled them with gluten free “everything” bagel topping. Yummy! I plan to make these crackers using the “everything” topping on them. I perfer savory, crunchy snacks instead of sweets. Can’t wait to make these. Thank you so much for your recipes. I too have MS and have gluten sensitivity. I’m finally taking control of my way of eating.
Elana says
Karen, thanks for letting me know that my bagels are fabulous and I hope you love these crackers as much as we do! So glad we are on this self-care journey together :-)
Laura Sutherland says
Hi there, I’m allergic to almonds – is there a good substitute, or am I going to have to sit this one out? Thank you!
Elana says
Laura, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
Overseas says
Just made these but didn’t have 2full cups of almond flour, so topped it up with ground flax seeds. Used a fork and then hands to knead the dough, used salt and herbs de Provence, needed closer to 10 min to bake…. perfection!
Elana says
Overseas, thanks for letting me know these crackers are perfection!
Gretchen says
How much flax seed meal did you use? How much almond flour?
Ilene says
I made these crackers and served them with appetizers on Christmas Day. I made two versions – one with salt and pepper and one with salt and thyme. Thank you for this great recipe that even I can make.
Elana says
Ilene, I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed these crackers!
Gloria L. says
My Fitness Pal shows 24 grams carbs per cup of blanched almond flour, so 48 for this whole recipe and thus 2.4g per cracker for 20 crackers. How can I stay under 20 grams carbs per day (keto)? Four crackers are half a day’s food. Am I figuring this correctly?
Elana says
Gloria, I’m assuming your 20g of carbs per day is net carbs and you’re not counting fiber into it, is that correct?
Sally says
You don’t have to stay under 20g just saying. Low carb can be under 50g under 100g get come good carbs in dear. Ive heard people in ketosis with more than 20g. Not too sustainable anyways at 20g, experiment with your carbs.
Elana says
Sally, I totally agree. We are all biochemical individuals with different caloric and metabolic needs. There is absolutely no one-size fits all number of carbs for the Keto Diet. These types of things are a nice guideline so I don’t want to discourage them, but they are not set in stone.
Sofia says
Dear Elana,
I am trying these crackers now. The dough smells delicious but when I try to roll it it cracks into pieces. What am I doing wrong? I am using almond flour and a larg egg together with salt and pepper in the amounts you recommend. Thank you!
Elana says
Hi Sofia, if you are using a brand of almond flour that has been de-fatted this recipe will not work. Here’s a link to the brands that will yield a successful outcome in my recipes:

I’ve made the switch to eating very few carbs. I choose this eating lifestyle because – bottom line – I just feel better. I have less inflammation, more sustained energy, and fewer mood swings. My husband, a Culinary Institute of America trained chef, was not impressed with my decision initially. He’s been patient with my attempts to create dishes that will satisfy us both. I’ve failed, miserably, more than once. Finding the right balance of textures and taste profiles has proven tricky. There have been, however, huge successes. This cracker recipe is one of them! I’ve made them on several occasions – to the delight of us both. When I want to mix it up, I just add another herb of choice. Heading into the fall season here in Vermont, we’ve been enjoying the addition of thyme. He’s always a fan of smoked paprika. Thanks for this super reliable, easy to make recipe. It holds a prominent place in my grandmother’s old recipe box!
Elana says
Meg, thanks for your comment and for the incredible honor of putting my recipe in a prominent place in your grandmother’s recipe box :-)
Kris says
I am challenged with getting the mixture to be “dough” like in any form. The mixture is too crumbly to “roll” between parchment and just too dry. Your recipe matches others I looked at and don’t know why my result is so dry. The recipe I tried first called for 2 eggs and 1 tsp water with 1 1/2 cups of flour (1c almond and 1/2c coconut) Any ideas? Really want to have a crisp treat once in awhile.
Elana says
Kris, this happens when coconut flour is used for all or part of the the almond flour called for in this recipe. For more on the difference between almond flour and coconut flour please go here:

Josephine Faulk says
I love this recipe. I just made a batch and they turned out perfectly. My food processor is in storage, so I tried mixing with a spoon–to no effect. Then I tried mixing with my hands and ‘instant success.’ I will try this with different spices too. Thank you so much for this simple, delicious and versatile recipe.
Elana says
Josephine, thanks for letting me know these turned out perfectly and that this recipe is simple, delicious, and versatile :-)
Vivianne says
Hi there,
I made these crackers today and I agree they are yummy. How do you store them to keep them crispy?
Elana says
Vivianne, I let them cool overnight on the counter and then store in a mason jar in the fridge. So glad these were yummy :-)
Rachel says
Hi would you be able to tell me how many carbs are in the crackers they sound yummy cheers Rachel

Andy Schenk says
Hi Elena-
We made these crackers today and enjoy the flavor immensely. A few changes- we made almond milk yesterday, dried the ‘pulp’ at 170 degrees for several hours, and used the food processor to make it ‘flour-like’ before continuing with the recipe as you have spelled it out. The taste is phenomenal. Thanks for the recipe and good luck to you!
Elana says
Andy, thanks for letting me know you are enjoying these crackers!
