Tina says
Do you have to use salt? I have to avoid salt. Thank you.
Elana says
Hi Tina, I haven’t tried making these without salt, if you do please let us know if it works.
Princess says
Hi :) May I ask what is the another substitution for sesame seeds that can be paired with almond flour? I HOPE YOU CAN REPLY. Thank you!
Elana says
Hi Princess, I haven’t tried using anything in place of sesame seeds in this recipe, so not sure how that would work. Here’s a link to a cracker recipe of mine that’s super easy to make and does not have any sesame in it:

Princess says
How about if I’ll make patty. Is it suitable for almond flour? Thank you for answering my question Ms. Elana! Appreciated :)
Elana says
Hi Princess, I haven’t ever tried making patties from this recipe, and I don’t really think that will work. If you do try it I hope you’ll let us know how it goes!

Calculating one batch makes 24 crackers, per cracker:
56 calories; 1 gm carb; 5 gm fat; 2 gm protein; 455 mg sodium
B says
The recipe says it makes 72 crackers. Did you make it and it only made 24? I thought 72 was a lot
Elana says
B, I just made these again last night and they make 72 crackers :-)
Sharon says
I made these for NYE and they were a big hit! Made a second batch that were Mexican flavored and went great with guac and salsa- thank you for giving me the ability to have an easy snack at hand again after 2 years on paleo.
Karl says
I’d like to make small cracker “bowls” to fill with salmon and creme fraiche. Do you think if I shaped the dough over balls of aluminum foil they would hold the bowl shape?
Elana says
Karl, what a great idea, if you try it please let us know if it works!
Merrin says
Karl, l would love to know if these workes also. I am catering for a wedding in April and would love to offer a snack bowl like this, Fab idea.
Belinda says
Karl and Merrin, though it’s too late now for the events you mentioned, you could still experiment; try pressing dough over the bumps of an overturned mini-muffin tray. I have done this with cookie dough and filled the resulting cookie cups with coconut ice-cream/raw vegan chocolate/nut butter/cashew cream… go mad. A savoury version would be sublime.
Elana thanks so much for this site. You are a marvel. I enjoy it immensely here in Brisbane, Australia, and so (consequently) does my family!
Elana says
Thanks for your comment Belinda!
elyce says
Trying not to eat oils at all. Do you think melted ghee or butter would substitute well? What might need to change if anything?
Melissa says
These crackers are so delicious, thank you for sharing your recipe. They are my go to item when I’m dying to eat potato chips.
I’ve also tried taking out the sesame seeds, and adding coconut and a drizzle of dark chocolate for my sweet tooth!
kelintegratedservices says
These are also great with pumpkin seeds with this recipe!!!
Geetha says
Hi All. Is Almond Flour the same as Almond Powder/ Powdered Almonds?
Sandra says
I made these today and they are absolutely addictive, I can’t stop eating them. Can’t wait to try your other recipes.
