These crispy keto Cheez-It crackers are a guilt-free, low-carb snack made with sharp cheddar cheese and almond flour. They offer a crunchy, cheesy bite perfect for keto and low-carb lifestyles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup (50g) almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • A pinch of ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Combine the shredded cheddar cheese and softened butter in a mixing bowl. Blend until crumbly.
  3. Add almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Mix until a slightly sticky dough forms.
  4. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out to about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thickness.
  5. Remove the top parchment and transfer the rolled dough with the bottom sheet onto the baking tray.
  6. Score the dough into 1-inch (2.5 cm) squares using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, without cutting all the way through.
  7. Use a fork to poke each square a couple of times to prevent puffing.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown and the sheet smells cheesy. Check at 10 minutes if your oven runs hot.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool on the tray for 10 minutes to crisp up further.
  10. Break apart along the scored lines and enjoy. If not crispy enough, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes at 325°F (160°C).

Notes

Use freshly shredded cheese for best results. Roll dough as thin as possible for crispiness. Watch oven carefully to avoid burning. Let crackers cool completely before storing to maintain crunch. Optional: sprinkle smoked paprika or garlic powder for extra flavor. For dairy-free version, use vegan cheddar-style cheese and coconut oil instead of butter.
