This Easy Homemade Cracker Recipe Has Just 0.7 Net Carbs per Cracker! Gluten Free, Atkins Friendly, This Recipe Is Awesome!

I don’t know about you but I have a tough time staying away from snacks. I crave carbs in snack form from cookies to chips to crackers.

And especially crackers.

I mean, crackers are crumbly, salty, buttery goodness aren’t they? Once I get started a whole sleeve of Ritz can evaporate in minutes. I’m left staring numbly at the empty box wondering how crumbs got on my lips. Then I feel guilty and horrible because I caved. It’s awful.

Well, no more. No more because these homemade cracker recipe is the bomb-digity. The crackers are buttery and crumbly AND they are great spread with peanut butter or cream cheese or butter or a slice of cheddar. Best of all they are VERY low carb. In fact one of them has just 0.7 net carbs. That’s almost nothing, y’all.

The other thing about them is that they are self limiting. There is no way you can sit down and eat a dozen of these. The high fiber content means that you get filled up fast. You can blend these up to use as cracker crumbs if you want in any recipe that calls for cracker crumbs. If you want to flavor them you can add a little garlic powder or smoked paprika or sprinkle a cinnamon-xylitol mixture on the top. I just love how versatile they are!

Since they contain coconut flour they will get soft if you don’t keep them tightly covered in the pantry. This is especially true if you live in a humid area. One thing I would suggest is rolling the dough into a log and wrapping it in waxed paper. You can then keep it in the fridge and just slice off as much as you need. That way they’ll be fresh and crisp.

Enjoy!

Parchment is handy to have especially when you are doing low carb baking. It keeps dough from sticking while you are working with it AND after it’s baked.

  1. The melted butter is for brushing on top. I made mistake of adding in…too buttery and soft. Changing the order of ingredients would help to prevent this mistake. Also don’t need oven preheated as you need to put in fridge for half an hour.

  2. These were a hit with me and my partner. I even used a maple leaf cookie cutter just like you did :). I’m making more today and will be sure to have some extra to put in the freezer.

  3. These crackers are fabulous! I liked your suggestion of packaging it as a log and slicing and baking, as needed. I took it one step further. I rolled out and cut all the crackers and put them on parchment paper. I plan to freeze them and just take out as many as I want to eat and bake them fresh. Warm, buttery and fresh out of the oven! Yum!
