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.

Michelle
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!!
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
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 The fear of saturated fat is so old fashioned and outdated.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Michelle, I second Libby's remarks about "The fear of saturated fat is so old fashioned and outdated.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.

How long might these last if stored in tuppaware please? Was hoping to make a batch on a weekend to have throughout the week for lunches. Thanks!
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
I would store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
Sam
Is it possible to make / melt without a microwave?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
Yes, you can melt them gently on the stove top in a saucepan.

My dough is sticking to the parchment paper. What am I doing wrong?
rochelle
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!!!
SH
U mean one cracker is 81kcal or 15 crackers? Thanks!
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
This is per cracker (luckily we don't count calories here 😉 ).

Would this be ok being rolled into a log and sliced thin? Just wondered.
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
What a brilliant idea! Yes, I think that would work.
