Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, try adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough.
• To make the crackers thinner and crispier, roll the dough as thin as possible before cutting.
• The baking powder is optional but helps the crackers puff slightly for a lighter texture.
• Store leftover crackers in an airtight container to keep them crisp.

Storage

Store the cooled almond flour crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. To keep them crisp longer, avoid storing in humid environments. If they soften, re-crisp them in a low oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes before serving.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use other types of flour instead of almond flour?

Almond flour is preferred for its low-carb content and texture. Using other flours like coconut or regular flour will change the flavor and carb content, so adjustments may be needed.

Is it necessary to use baking powder in the recipe?

No, baking powder is optional. It helps the crackers puff slightly, giving a lighter texture, but you can omit it if you prefer denser crackers.
