Parmesan flaxseed crackers have just 0.2 carbs each! So yummy! From Lowcarb-ology.com

I’ve always loved crackers. Whether they were crumbled up in a bowl of my mom’s vegetable soup or slathered with butter (that used to be my go to stress food) there was no cracker that I didn’t like.

Of course that all changed when I began my low carb lifestyle. Crackers were off the table for a very long time. Oh, I’ve tried some of the commercial, low carb crackers but they were bland to me. I don’t know, y’all, maybe I have weird tastes but I want to have a burst of flavor when I bite into something. Good flavor. Yummy flavor. And… most often… spicy flavor.

Then there was the texture. I wanted that crispy, crumbly bite. I guessed it was too much to ask because nothing ever seemed to be crispy enough, either.

Wine and cheese just sort of lose some of their appeal without some crunch from crackers. These give that texture and crunch that you don’t often find in low carb foods. Except celery. There’s lots of crunch in celery but it feels like diet food.

I don’t like diet food. Not one bit.

So back to these Parmesan flaxseed crackers which totally do not taste like diet food. They are light and crisp and crumbly – like a whole grain cracker. The flavor is ?nutty and I swear I taste wheat in it even though there’s not one iota of wheat. Not even a half of an iota.

Quick and Easy Low Carb Crackers

They are easy to make, too. You just mix the dry ingredients together, dump the water on them and stir well. The dough is very thick. Now, turn the oven on to preheat and walk away for 30 minutes. During that time the flavors blend in the dough and it becomes a bit more stiff. After 30 minutes the oven should be nice and hot. Remove the dough to the parchment or silpat and form it into a rectangle. Place the other piece of parchment on top and roll it out evenly — about 1/8th of an inch. It’s not rocket science — you may like it thinner and crisper or thicker and more chewy.

Experiment.

Cut the rectangle into 32 equal squares. Place the parchment on your baking sheet and sprinkle very sparingly with coarse salt then press the salt in gently. I used a Bell pepper flavored coarse sea salt I got in France last Spring. It’s amazing! Bake it. I turned the oven off a little before they were done and just left them in the oven for awhile to make sure they were very crispy.

Let them cool completely and store in an airtight container. They will soften up quickly if it’s humid. I left mine on the counter after I took pictures because I had to hurry to pick up one of the kids from school. It’s totally rainy and by the time I got back home they had softened a little.

Be warned. If you live in a very humid, rainy spot you’ll definitely have to keep these sealed up. It’s not normally a problem here in Texas. 🙂

Flaxseed meal is just ground up flaxseeds. It’s the main ingredient in this recipe giving you lots of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids! There’s nearly no carbs at all because of the high fiber. The dough is very sticky and hard to roll out so you’ll need parchment paper or silpat to make these crackers successfully.

    These crackers are the best! IAfter baking, I left them in the warm oven, as you suggested, for about a half hour. Then I flipped them over to crisp up the bottoms and left them in the oven overnight. We live in Germany and it?s pretty damp here, but so far, they are staying really crisp. Thank you for the recipe!

    LOVE this idea!!!
    I made them, but it took a LOT longer to crisp the bottoms up than stated. I just kept putting them back in the oven, then FINALLY (duh, me) took them off the sheet pan and put the whole thing on a rack and put them back in the oven at 300 for about 5 minutes, and they crisped right up.

    I LOVE THEM. I used coarse (almost chunky) black Hawaiian salt, and it was a bit too much, so I’ll go back to coarse Kosher

    love your website , landed on it while searching for Atkins induction recipes 🙂
    how long do you do the egg fast for ?
    thank you
    xox

    1. Thank you
      Made them at 180 c and they were very soft not at all crispy, however still delicious
      Should they be on top or middle shelf?

    2. Hmmm.. I made them in a convection oven so you might even try a little hotter. If you put them on the top shelf watch them carefully.
