What Are Graham Crackers?

A Graham cracker is a crunchy, slightly sweet wholegrain cracker used in many cheesecake recipes as a base for the crust or to make S’mores treats.

Classic Graham crackers are very high in carbs and not keto-friendly.

In fact, an authentic store-bought Graham cracker recipe is made of high-carb ingredients, including all-purpose flour and sweetener including wheat flour, brown sugar, and honey.

How To Make Keto Graham Crackers

Making homemade Graham crackers without sugar and fewer carbs is pretty easy.

You don’t need any specific kitchen appliance, no food processor, just a bowl, spatula, baking sheets, and parchment paper.

Ingredients

All you need are a few wholesome ingredients:

• Ultra-fine almond flour – this is the best almond flour to make golden brown thin low-carb graham crackers. In fact, almond meal or ground almonds won’t deliver a great texture or light color. Learn how to pick the best keto flour.
• Flaxseed meal – you don’t need much of this in the recipe, but it’s the key ingredient to add a bran texture similar to the authentic Graham crackers.
• Egg – at room temperature. Yes, eggs are keto-friendly!
• Erythritol – there are many other keto sweeteners that work in this recipe, including allulose or monk fruit erythritol blend. However, don’t use xylitol in keto cookies or keto cracker recipes. It won’t firm up, and the crackers won’t crisp with xylitol.
• Baking soda –or 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder if you don’t appreciate the lightly bitter taste of baking soda.
• Vanilla extract
• Salt
• Cinnamon
• Melted unsalted butter or melted coconut oil. Butter is a low-carb ingredient.

Combining the ingredients

First, whisk all the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. You want all the flour, baking soda, and salt to be evenly distributed before adding the wet ingredients.

Next, make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the melted butter, beaten egg, and vanilla extract.

Finally, stir the dough with a spatula and then use your hand to knead the dough and form a ball.

Rolling the cracker dough

The trick to rolling the keto cracker dough is to use two pieces of parchment paper.

First, place the dough ball in the center of a 30-cm long piece of parchment paper. Press another piece of parchment paper on top of the ball to flatten the dough into a thick disc.

Then, use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a thin rectangle of 0.2-inch/5 mm thickness.

As you can see in my pictures below, I am folding the sides of the bottom sheet of parchment paper to shape a rectangle.

This technique encases the dough in the paper and ensures you are rolling a perfect rectangle of dough.

Cutting the dough

Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into 2-inch x 1.5inch rectangles.

Then, use a fork to prick the crackers in 2 or 3 rows.

Finally, slide a spatula under each cracker to transfer them carefully onto a baking sheet covered with oiled parchment paper.

Make sure you leave 1 cm/0.4 inch between each cracker, so they don’t overlap or touch each other.

Baking the crackers

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Bake the crackers in the center rack of the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown on the sides and top.

Cooling down

Cool the crackers for 10 minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack. The crackers will firm up as they cool down.

Serving Keto Graham Crackers

You can eat these crackers plain as a simple low-carb snack or create recipes with them. They are great to make:

• Graham cracker crust – crunch these crackers into a powder and combine them with butter to make a keto cheesecake crust.
• Keto S’mores – place a sugar-free homemade marshmallow along with sugar-free chocolate squares between 2 Graham crackers. Place this sweet sandwich for 5 minutes in the oven to melt the chocolate and marshmallow and enjoy!
• Pudding – crush a few of these keto crackers between layers of my keto banana pudding or keto cheesecake fluff.
