Pat’s 4-Ingredient Paleo Crackers

Hello it’s me, Abra! In case we haven’t met yet, I’m the Ambitious Kitchen Brand Manager, and you can read everything you need to know about me here. Today I’m here to talk snacks. Unsurprisingly, we take snacking verrryyy seriously at AK HQ.

When we’re not recipe testing + munching on my newest favorite meals you can find us snacking on RXBARs, fruit with nut butters, plenty of hummus, and our favorite Simple Mills crackers. Our 3pm snack needs lead Monique and me to test out the absolute best, crispy paleo crackers you’ll ever eat. Trust. But before I get into these babies, you’re probably wondering who “Pat” is.

Pat is my badass, beautiful mama! A few years ago my mom started a mostly-paleo diet to overcome stomach issues caused by tons of stress and to adopt some healthier habits overall. She’s a lawyer who often has to travel for trials, which can lead to long days in meetings with nothing to eat but takeout. After too many stressful days of less-than-fresh food, she decided to make a change for herself.

Fast-forward a number of years and she now has a lifestyle that’s flexible, unrestricted, balanced, and works for her body & mind. So important.  Every time I come home she has a tupperware full of these amazing, deliciously spiced, crispy, paleo crackers that I can’t get enough of. These paleo crackers are made with almond flour and a few other simple ingredients, and are easily customizable for your taste preferences. My mama likes to add chia seeds, crushed pistachios or almonds, and this incredible, Ethiopian seasoning called Berbere (oh yeah, she fancy).

The 4 ingredients you need to make these paleo crackers

When I say this paleo cracker recipe requires just 4 ingredients I truly mean it! They’re SO easy to make and take under 30 minutes. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Almond flour: the base of these gluten free crackers is almond flour! I love that the flour gives them a slightly sweet, nutty flavor.
• Egg: you’ll need an egg for the cracker “dough” and one for the egg wash before baking the crackers.
• Chia seeds: for a little extra texture and crunch, plus some omega-3’s.
• Salt: gotta have some salt to give the crackers flavor!

Jazz up your gluten free crackers

Here are some fun flavors to try in your paleo crackers! Add the optional 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and then add the following:

• Curry: 1 tsp curry powder + 1 tsp ground turmeric
• Italian: 1 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary + ½ teaspoon dried oregano + ½ tsp dried thyme
• Everything Bagel: 2 tsp sesame seeds + 2 tsp poppy seeds + ½ tsp onion powder. Or use 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning but do not add salt if there is already salt in the bagel seasoning you are using.
• Ranch: ½ tsp onion powder + 1 tsp dried dill
• Garlic Parmesan: ½ cup parmesan

Can I use a different flour?

We only tested these grain free crackers using almond flour to keep them gluten free and paleo, so we can’t be sure how any other flour will work out. Let me know if the comments if you experiment with a different type of flour!

The best paleo crackers in 5 simple steps

1. Make the cracker “dough.” Start by mixing together all of your crackers ingredients in a large bowl. I like to use my hands so that it’s all incorporated. It should feel like wet sand but hold together well.
2. Roll out the dough. Pour the mixture onto a large piece of parchment paper, top with another piece of parchment paper, and roll out the dough so that it’s nice and thin (about 13″ x 15″).
3. Cut the crackers. Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to a large baking sheet and use a knife or pizza cutter to cut into 1.5 inch cracker-sized squares.
4. Egg wash & bake. Whisk your egg with a little water and lightly brush all of the crackers. Then bake them up until they’re golden & crispy.
5. Cool, break & enjoy. Once the crackers are completely cooled, break them into the squares you cut and enjoy!

Easy and delicious paleo crackers made with almond flour for a boost of protein and healthy fats. You’ll only need 4 ingredients for these deliciously crispy, low carb & gluten free crackers. Plus we’ve got 5 different flavor variations for you to try!

Ingredients

• For the crackers:
• 1 ½ cups packed super fine blanched almond flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill)
• 1 large egg, slightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Optional: ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• For the egg wash:
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon water

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In large bowl combine the almond flour, egg, chia seeds, salt and garlic powder. You may need to use your hands to make it all come together. It should feel like a wet sand but will still hold together.
• Add the mixture to parchment paper, then top with another sheet of parchment paper to cover. Roll out dough between the two pieces of parchment paper so the dough is approximately 13” x 15” (dough should be VERY thin). You may have to use your hands to smooth out the edges of the dough. Very carefully transfer the rolled out dough on parchment paper to a large baking sheet that is bigger than the dough (i use a 21x15 inch pan). You can also divide the dough in half and bake on two smaller baking sheets. It’s up to you, but please note that you do want the dough to be pretty thin.
• Remove the top piece of the parchment paper and cut crackers into about 1.5 inch squares. I like to use a pizza cutter.
• Whisk your second egg in a small bowl with 1 teaspoon of water to make an egg wash. Lightly brush all of the dough with the egg wash. You won’t need to use all the wash.
• Bake for 14-19 minutes until set and edges and crackers are nice and golden brown. They need to be completely golden brown to be crispy crackers and to stay that way.
• Allow to cool for 10 minutes before carefully breaking the squares up into crackers. Divide into 8 servings.
