These almond flour crackers are crisp, seeded, and perfect when you’re in need of crackers but don’t feel like reaching for a packet.
In the past, I’ve made quite a few sweet almond flour recipes like banana muffins, blueberry muffins, and even cakes and brownies.
But I wanted to try something savoury as well, beyond the almond flour biscuits I recently made.
I was after something simple for healthy snacks that would pair well with dips or cheese — and that’s how these crackers came about.
Store-bought crackers are convenient, but they’re usually made with refined flour and not much else.
These are made with simple ingredients, packed with seeds, and baked into thin, crunchy squares that feel like a proper snack. The best part is how flexible they are — you can use whatever seeds you have and make your own crackers at home.
They’re a great healthy alternative to store-bought options and much healthier, cause you know what you’ve put in them.
Why You’ll Love These Almond Flour Crackers
Crunchy and Satisfying
These crackers bake up thin and crisp with a really satisfying crunch from sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds.
They feel like proper salty snacks, not a substitute.
Simple Ingredients and Flexible
This recipe uses simple ingredients and is very easy to adapt.
You can swap seeds, add your favourite herb, or mix in flavours like onion powder, black pepper, or a pinch of cayenne pepper. You can add a bit more salt if you prefer them to be saltier. I use pink Himalayan salt.
A Healthier Alternative
These almond flour crackers are naturally gluten-free and made with simple, whole ingredients that offer more than just crunch.
Almond flour provides healthy fats and a bit of protein, which helps make these crackers more satisfying than traditional crackers made with wheat flour. Not to mention, you will be less likely to feel bloated and sluggish compared unlike after starchy wheat crackers.
The mix of seeds adds a nice nutritional boost too. Sunflower seeds are a good source of vitamin E, pumpkin seeds provide magnesium and zinc, and sesame seeds add calcium and iron. If you include hemp seeds, they also bring in some extra protein and essential fatty acids. And these crackers are high in fiber, minus all the starch that usually comes with wheat-based snacks.
It’s a simple way to turn something like crackers into a more balanced snack using everyday ingredients.
Low-Carb and Keto Friendly
If you are following a ketogenic diet and looking for a keto recipe, these crackers easily fit into a keto lifestyle or a low-carb snack option.
Ingredients for Almond Flour Crackers
Exact amounts of each ingredient are listed in the recipe card below, so you can easily follow the full recipe the very first time.
But here’s what you will need to get for these crackers:
• almond flour (or almond meal)
• sunflower seeds
• pumpkin seeds (sometimes you can find a mix of sunflower and pumpkin together, get those if you do)
• sesame seeds (black, white, or both)
• hemp seeds (optional)
• egg
• olive oil
• sea salt
• garlic powder (optional)
• 1–2 tablespoons of water
How to Make Almond Flour Crackers
Step 1 — Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, salt, and garlic powder.
Step 2 — Add Wet Ingredients
Add the egg and olive oil, then mix until a crumbly dough forms.
Step 3 — Bring the Dough Together
Add a tablespoon of water at a time until the mixture becomes a cohesive dough.
You may need 1–2 tablespoons of water, depending on the texture.
The dough may look like small dough blobs at first, but it will come together as you press it.
Step 4 — Shape the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper.
Use your hands to press it into a rough square or rectangular shape.
This dough is quite rustic, so don’t worry if it doesn’t look perfect.
Step 5 — Roll and Flatten
Place another piece of parchment paper on top (top paper), then roll it out evenly using a rolling pin.
If you don’t have a rolling pin, you can use the bottom of a large soup pot to flatten the dough.
You’ll likely need to use your hands as well to press the edges back into shape and guide the dough into a square.
And honestly, I tried my hardest to make a nice square so I can take neater photos for you, but you absolutely don’t have to; if some of your crackers end up random shapes, especially those along the edges, it’s absolutely fine.
Step 6 — Check Size and Thickness
Flatten the dough to about:
• roughly hand-sized square
• about 2–3 mm thickness (around ⅛ inch thickness)
If you want extra crispy crackers, roll it a little thinner.
Step 7 — Score into Squares
Remove the top parchment paper.
Move to a baking tray together with the bottom parchment paper sheet.
Use a large sharp knife or pizza cutter (pizza wheel) to score into small squares, about 2-inch squares.
Step 8 — Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C / 320°F for 15–20 minutes until light golden brown.
Avoid overbaking, as it can create a slightly burnt taste around the edges.
Step 9 — Cool Completely
Allow the crackers to cool fully on a cooling rack before breaking apart.
Crackers cool and become crisp as they sit — this step makes a big difference.
Tips for Crispy Crackers
- Roll to a uniform thickness so they all bake through evenly
- Thinner areas will crisp faster than thicker areas, so if you see some crackers are starting to darken around the edges, remove them and continue baking the rest until ready.
- If some edge pieces brown faster, remove them earlier
- The center of the cracker should be evenly flattened for consistent baking
How to Store
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 5–6 days.
They will stay crisp if kept dry and sealed properly.

FAQs
Can I make these almond flour crackers in a food processor?
Yes, you can mix the dough in a food processor, but it’s just as easy to combine everything in a bowl with a spatula and your hands.
Can I make these keto or low carb?
Yes, these work well as keto crackers or a low-carb cracker. Almond flour is already low in carbs, and so are the seeds.
Why are my crackers not crispy?
They may be too thick or underbaked. Try rolling them thinner or baking a little longer.
