Homemade Keto Crackers
Prep
Cook
Total
Yield 12 Small Crackers
Ingredients:
- ½ cup sunflower seeds
- ½ cup sesame seeds
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp pink salt
- 2 tbsps. of clean water
Instructions:
Step #1: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Step #2: Place the sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a high-powered blender or food processor and blend until the mixture takes on the consistency of flour.
Step #3: While the blender or food processor is running, drizzle in the water until the mixture takes on the consistency of dough and clumps together into a ball.
Step #4: Transfer the dough to a 14-inch-square piece of parchment paper and place an equal-size sheet on top of it. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough as thin as you like (if it’s on the thicker side, say ¼ inch, the crackers will be much sturdier).
Step #5: Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and transfer the rolled dough, still on the bottom sheet of parchment, to a baking sheet. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into rectangles, but do not separate the rectangles.
Step #6: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Step #7: Break up the crackers into rectangles. Serve or store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Dr Jockers Comments
One of the biggest things my clients miss when they begin on an anti-inflammatory, ketogenic nutrition plan is the flavor and crunch of a zesty cracker or chip. These homemade keto crackers help to fill in the void. They are fairly simple to make, taste amazing and are full of great ingredients!
These doesn’t take long to make, provides a great crunch, are low carb/ketogenic and are loaded with anti-inflammatory nutrients. Sunflower and sesame seeds are a great source of healthy fats, B vitamins, trace minerals and magnesium. Adding in the garlic and onion powder supports the immune system and gives them a great flavor.
I love using these crackers with guacamole or even with a little grass-fed butter smeared on them! I also love making these with various nuts like almonds, cashews or using pumpkin seeds.
How do you like your crackers and what is your favorite dip to use?
1 Tablespoon Almond Flour
1 Tablespoon Coconut Flour
1/2 Tablespoon each ground Chia and Sunflower seed
1/4 tsp Himalayan salt
1 egg
Mix up with a spoon
Thin with little water if need
Use hands and flatten out as thin or thick as you’d like and cut with a knife into squares.
Bake at 350 until as brown as you’d like, about 20 minutes or so.
Play around with this recipe and you’ll love them as much as we do!
Hope you enjoy.
Awesome! Thanks for the tips Tina!
Who feels like doing all this work?
I have no energy for all this or call me lazy.
How does someone thats sick handle this
You could ask a friend or family member to make them for you or to help you make them.
Hey Jane, I would definitely consider this a snack food and in no way necessary for the every day diet. It’s more a healthy spin on a snack food that some people wish to consume while remaining keto. If you do not wish to make it, then no worries!
I’m not yet enjoying or reconciled to how much food prep I have to do, but I keep pressing through since I am feeling better. If I were sick, it would be impossible. Keep on keepin’ on!!
Yeah, exactly, Jane…if you have fatigue issues, this does not appeal.
Cannot wait to make both. Crackers- they sound so easy to make. Thank you
it is also lovely to add some blended herbs like rosemary, lavender or sage
Great idea Henriette!
I followed this recipe precisely. They taste bitter. Any idea why?
I am not sure why that would be Sheila!
If sesame didn’t agree with you, could you use pumpkin seeds or chia or maybe a combination?
Yes you can!
What happens when we don’t soak the seeds?
They just have more anti-nutrients. But you can still make the crackers without soaking the seeds.
