in Recipes, Bread Keto seed crackers
Ingredients
- 1⁄3 cup (11⁄3 oz.) 80 ml (38 g) almond flour
- 1⁄3 cup (12⁄3 oz.) 80 ml (45 g) unsalted sunflower seeds
- 1⁄3 cup (1½ oz.) 80 ml (45 g) unsalted pumpkin seeds
- 1⁄3 cup (2 oz.) 80 ml (55 g) flaxseed or chia seeds
- 1⁄3 cup (12⁄3 oz.) 80 ml (50 g) sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp 1 tbsp ground psyllium husk powder
- 1 tsp 1 tsp salt
- ¼ cup 60 ml melted coconut oil
- 1 cup 240 ml boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Add boiling water and oil. Mix together with a wooden fork.
- Keep working the dough until it forms a ball and has a gel-like consistency.
- Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add another paper on top and use a rolling pin to flatten the dough evenly.
- Remove the upper paper and bake on the lower rack for about 40-45 minutes, check occasionally. Seeds are heat sensitive so pay close attention towards the end.
- Turn off the oven and leave the crackers to dry in the oven. Once dried and cool, break into pieces and spread a generous amount of butter on top.
Storing
In order to maintain the crispiness of these crackers you must store them in an airtight container. Also make sure they are completely dried and cooled before storing.
Substituting ingredients
If you want to make a nut-free version of these crackers you can substitute sesame seed flour for the almond flour. Or just try our recipe for sesame crisp bread.
If you don't have all sorts of seeds at hand - don't worry! As long as the total amount of seed use is the same as in the recipe you can use more of one sort and less of the other.
Want to spice things up a bit? Here's a recipe for great pumpkin spice seed crackers.
Serving suggestions
Only your imagination sets limits for how to serve these crispy bites. A nice butter spread and a slice of cheese goes a long way but don't stop there. Try sliced salami or your favorite ham and a generous wedge of Brie cheese or maybe our chicken liver pâte.

Thanks this recipe is realy good
Unfortunately, they may get soggy as they thaw.
Thank you for noticing that. I am asking our recipe team!
I ended up checking it after 45 min and adding more time. I added 10 minutes, then flipped the cracker over and baked for another 10 min. I must not have rolled them quite thin enough. It crisped up more as it cooled.
My carb count was pretty modest for the whole pan, going by net carbs as the ingredients I chose had lots of fiber to subtract.
I had some with dip, then had more with a slice of gouda. I will definitely make again!
I kept to the recipe and used the olive oil version.
Totally addictive!
In my oven, I find they cook more evenly a little higher than recipe says. I don't bother with a rolling pin and just smooth the surface of the top paper with my hands..... find I get a better sense of even thickness.
Could you please let me know why are these keto and the sesame crispy bread only low carb?
These have more fat content but they have the same carb content...
Thank you!
Yes, it has to do with ratios. The higher fat makes these keto friendly.
This recipe has not been tested with coconut flour. Coconut flour is much "thirstier" than almond flour as well as being higher carb.
My batter was very gooey so added another 2 tbsp almond flour. I used flaxseed meal instead of chia because I was running low. There is no coconut smell or taste. These are perfect. I’d serve to company, lite texture, lovely taste. My go to cracker recipe, plus it is easy to substitute seeds with. I had some pine nuts and no sunflower seeds, flax seed meal instead of flax seed.
I also score them half way through and they cut great, have even used a round cutter( small lid for a different shape).
