    Are crackers keto?

    No, most crackers are made from wheat flour and are high carb so avoided when you are on a low-carb diet or keto diet.

    A serving of 100 grams of your regular crackers would amount to about 61g net carbs, we knew it was something that would be missed.

    But with mozzarella dough a.k.a. Fat Head dough, it’s possible to make low-carb crackers! Since the dough is made of mozzarella, cream cheese, egg, and almond or coconut flour, all low-carb ingredients.

    If you are an absolute beginner, you may want to see the supreme guide to making fat head dough even without a microwave. Can be made with almond flour or coconut flour EVEN WITHOUT a microwave PLUS 16 keto recipes to use it.

    Ingredients

    • 170 g (1.75 cups) shredded/grated cheese mozzarella
    • 85 g (0.75 cups) almond meal/flour *see recipe notes below
    • 2 tablespoon cream cheese full fat
    • pinch ( pinch) salt to taste
    • 1 eggs - medium medium

    Equipment

    • Stir then microwave on HIGH for a further 30 seconds.
    • Add the egg then mix gently to make a cheesy mozzarella dough.
    • Place the mozzarella dough between 2 pieces of baking parchment/paper and roll out (see photos here). Remove the top baking paper/parchment. Use a cookie cutter or a glass tumbler, and cut circle cracker shapes. Place each cracker on a lined baking tray/sheet pan.

      I’m doing Weight Watchers and I need the Saturated Fat to figure out my points, would you have that information. I’m making the Keto Cheese crackers. Thank you!!

        We don't count saturated fat here so I don't add it into the panels. The fear of saturated fat is so old fashioned and outdated. Research shows saturated fat is healthy, stable and protective. This is a good article to read.

        Michelle, I second Libby's remarks about "The fear of saturated fat is so old fashioned and outdated. Research shows saturated fat is healthy, stable and protective.". In addition to her link, get a used copy (or new) of Nora Gedgaudas's book Primal Body Primal Mind. Dr. Eric Berg has put out many youtube videos about Keto and intermittent fasting. Search his name with weight, or keto, or intermittent fasting, or phytic acid. They are some interesting videos.

        I would store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.

        Yes, you can melt them gently on the stove top in a saucepan.

        Mine did too...scraped as much as I could off, but wasted heaps, so I added more flour...managed to cut them out then, but they stuck so badly to the oiled alfoil I couldn't prize them off!!! Mine were a disaster!!!
