Ingredients You’ll Need
Similar to Wheat Thins but made with almond flour, these easy grain-free crackers require only four simple ingredients!
Here is everything you will need (measurements are in the recipe card below):
- Almond Flour – You can use store-bought or make your own using raw almonds, as noted in the recipe card below. You can use either fine almond flour or almond meal.
- Flaxseed Meal – Added as a binder while also adding healthy omegas, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
- Salt – I love and use pink mineral salt, but sea salt and regular salt will work as well. Flaked sea salt adds a nice finishing touch.
- Seasoning (optional) – Use your favorite seasoning. I love adding rosemary, everything but the bagel seasoning, or simple salt and pepper. Get creative, using your favorite herbs and spices. A few ideas would be garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, etc.
How To Make Almond Flour Crackers
- In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, flax egg mixture, salt, and any optional seasonings. The dough will be somewhat moist and should look like the photo above.
- Grab two pieces of parchment paper and a rolling pin (affiliate links).
- Roll the dough into a ball or square shape and place it on the center of a piece of parchment paper. Top with the remaining paper. This will help keep the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
- Roll the dough, flattening it to about 1/8 inch thick. Remove any dough that squeezes out of the sides so you can reroll it later. Remove the top piece of paper.
- Using a pizza cutter, cut 1-inch strips into square or diagonal shapes.
- Make an air vent by piercing the top of each cracker with a toothpick or small fork.
- Transfer crackers to a lined baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees F.
- Let cool, and enjoy!
Baking Tips
- Parchment paper is helpful when making these crackers. It allows you to easily roll the dough and transfer the crackers to the baking sheet. Although I prefer to separate and transfer the crackers individually, you can just pick up the parchment and slide it onto a baking sheet before separating the crackers if you prefer.
- The thinner the dough is rolled, the crispier the crackers will be. If your dough is on the thicker side, you’ll end up with soft crackers. For these crackers, I find 1/8″ is perfect.
- Reroll the scraps. After cutting the cracker shapes, you’ll have rough edges that you can reroll and cut into cracker shapes again.
Serving Suggestions
Great on their own, these grain-free crackers also pair well with various dips and spreads. Here are a few of our favorite options:
- Dip: We love them with this Simple White Bean Hummus or Spinach Artichoke White Bean Dip as a dip.
- Topping: Smear the top with Cashew Ricotta, Tofu Ricotta, or Berry Chia Seed Jam.
How To Store Homemade Crackers
Almond flour crackers will last up to 1 – 2 weeks if stored properly. To store, allow them to cool completely and transfer to an airtight container. They can be kept on the counter for up to 1 week and in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Almond Flour Crackers
Almond Flour Crackers made with 2 main ingredients (plus water and salt) are gluten-free, grain-free, and oil-free for a healthy and delicious vegan snack!
- Prep Time: 15 min
- Cook Time: 15 min
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: Serves 8
- Category: Snack
- Method: bake
- Cuisine: American, Vegan
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
- 4 tablespoons water
- 1 cup almond flour or almond meal, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional add-ins:
- 1 tablespoon fresh or dried herbs (finely chopped) or flavor blend (I love Everything but the Bagel)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Flax mixture: In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed meal and water. Set aside for 10 minutes, stirring every so often. The mixture will be gooey when ready. This is the binder for the mixture (and it includes healthy omega’s!).
Almond flour: You can buy almond flour or make it close enough at home. In a blender/food processor, grind 1 and 1/4 cup raw almonds into a fine powder or meal type consistency – it doesn’t have to be perfect, but the finer, the better.
Make the dough: In a medium-size bowl, combine the almond flour, flax mixture, salt, and optional seasonings.
Shape and roll: Form the dough into a ball and place it on a flat surface lined with parchment paper. Cover with another piece of parchment paper, press down with your hand to flatten and finish rolling with a pin to about 1/8 inch thick. The thinner, the better and more crispy the crackers will be. Remove top layer of paper.
Cut into squares: Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut squares or diagonals into whatever size you like. Using a toothpick or small fork, poke the center of each cracker to allow steam to escape during baking (so they don’t puff up). Top with a little coarse sea salt.
Bake: Line the baking sheet with the leftover parchment paper. Carefully transfer each cracker to the baking sheet and bake for 10 – 15 minutes. After the first 10 minutes, keep an eye on them, removing the ones around the edges that are done. They will ever so slightly darken and turn golden, you don’t want it too dark, or it may have a burnt flavor. When done, let cool.
Yields 50 – 1 inch – crackers, but your results may vary depending on how you cut them.
Store: Crackers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 7 days on the counter or in the pantry. For longer storage, keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Recommended Equipment: I love and use this precut parchment paper pack, and this rolling pin has measurement guides, making it easy to roll the dough evenly (affiliate links).
These are easy and so tasty! I did rosemary crackers and they were a hit! I had someone tell me they were the best crackers they’ve ever had, so that’s some good feedback. Definitely will make these again with seasoning variations. Thanks for sharing!
Hi! Can I replace the flax with chia seeds?
I have not tried that but I think it will be ok so you can give it a try. Hope all goes well!
My family loves these! I add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, a dash of Italian herbs, and a drizzle extra virgin olive oil.
Yay! Thanks for sharing, Beth!
Delicious and so simple! I’ll definitely be making these again. Thanks so much for sharing!
We have nut allergies I’m wondering if my gluten free 1:1 flour would be ok ?
Girl I love your site ! My toddler is allergic to everything and the recipes on here have made my life as an allergy mom so much easier to navigate!! Thank you for your content!!!
Yes, you can use 1:1 GF flour blend in place of almond flour. And there is no need to pack the flour if using a flour blend. I hope they turn out perfectly For your family!
Thank you for the kinds words, Danielle. I’m so glad the site is easy for you to get around and you’re finding plenty of recipes to make! Enjoy :)
Can nutritional yeast be added to create a “cheeze” cracker? If so, how much?
Your website is fabulous! I just found it today, and so many of the recipes have me absolutely drooling! Thank you for sharing your culinary genius.

Yes, you can add nutritional yeast for a different flavor. I’d start with 1/4 cup and see how that goes. You can up the amount the next time if all goes well. I love this idea! Enjoy :)
These are so simple to make and you can add herbs or spices to suit your needs!
Not the recipe as such fault, just the taste of flaxseed meal can be a bit cardboard-y if cooked too short or too long so all about that sweet spot. Will definitely be making these time and time again!
I am trying to recreate the almond crackers from Costco. It’s onion powder, garlic powder, but how much of each should I add? And should I add an herb?
You could try 1 teaspoon of each onion and garlic powder. Or start with 1/2, and taste the mixture before rolling, adding more to taste. Herbs would be great, use anywhere from 1 to 2 tsp, again starting low and adding more to taste. I hope that helps. Enjoy!
