Ingredients (5 Simple Ingredients)
- 2 cups almond flour (blanched for a smooth texture)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder, rosemary, or paprika (optional for flavor)
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven & Prep Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Ingredients
In a bowl, combine almond flour, eggs, olive oil, and salt. Add optional herbs or spices. Stir until a cohesive dough forms.
3. Roll Out Dough
Place dough between two sheets of parchment. Roll to about 1/8-inch thickness for a thin, crispy texture.
4. Cut Crackers
Use a pizza cutter or knife to score into squares or rectangles. You can leave them connected or separate for individual crackers.
5. Bake
Transfer to the oven and bake 12–15 minutes until golden and slightly firm. Keep an eye to prevent burning.
6. Cool & Separate
Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. Break along scored lines into individual crackers.
7. Store
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze.
Tips for Perfect Almond Flour Crackers
- Thin is Key: Roll dough evenly thin for the crispiest crackers.
- Don’t Skip Cooling: Cooling lets crackers firm up and snap perfectly.
- Experiment with Herbs: Rosemary, thyme, or smoked paprika elevate the flavor.
- Prevent Browning Too Quickly: Keep an eye on oven times; almond flour can burn fast.
Variations
- Cheesy Almond Crackers: Add ¼ cup grated parmesan into dough.
- Seeded Crackers: Sprinkle sesame, chia, or sunflower seeds before baking.
- Spicy Kick: Add ¼ tsp cayenne or chili powder to the dough.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with hummus, guacamole, or soft cheese.
- Include on charcuterie boards for parties.
- Pair with soups or stews for extra crunch.
- Pack in lunchboxes or take on hikes as a healthy snack.
