⭐ Why These Almond Flour Crackers Are So Popular

Almond flour creates a lightly nutty flavor and a tender-crisp texture that bakes beautifully. The egg binds everything together while olive oil adds richness and helps the crackers crisp evenly in the oven.
⭐ Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (or seasoning of choice)
⭐ Instructions
1. Make the Dough
In a bowl, mix almond flour, salt, and garlic powder. Add the egg and olive oil. Mix until the dough forms a cohesive ball — soft but not sticky.
2. Roll It Out
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll until very thin — about 1/16 inch. Thin dough = crisp crackers.
3. Score the Crackers
Peel off the top parchment. Use a pizza cutter or knife to score into small squares (about 1–1.5 inches).
4. Bake
Transfer the parchment sheet to a baking tray. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–17 minutes or until golden around the edges.
5. Cool Completely
Let crackers cool on the pan to become extra crispy.
6. Break Apart
Break along the scored lines and enjoy with your favorite dips or toppings.

Notes
⭐ Tips for Ultra-Crispy Crackers
Roll the Dough Extremely Thin
The thinner the dough, the crispier the cracker. Thick dough = softer cracker.
Use Parchment Paper
Prevents sticking and helps roll the dough evenly.
Bake Until Deep Golden
Color = crunch. Don’t pull them out too early.
Let Cool Fully
Crackers crisp up significantly as they cool.
Store Without Moisture
Humidity softens crackers. Store in airtight container with a small piece of parchment.

These 5-ingredient crackers are the perfect base for countless variations.
Everything Bagel Crackers

Once friends or family try them, the batch disappears instantly. They’re snackable, lightly salty, buttery from the almond flour, and perfectly crunchy — without grains, fillers, or weird preservatives.
They’re one of those recipes that look simple, but the flavor and crunch hit so hard that people ask for them constantly.
⭐ Troubleshooting
Crackers too soft?
Dough wasn’t rolled thin enough or baked long enough.
Crackers crumble?
Dough was too dry. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil.
Edges burnt but middle soft?
Roll dough more evenly or rotate tray halfway.
