5 Ingredient Keto Crackers Food

(40 SECOND!) ULTRA EASY KETO CRACKERS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small (microwave safe!) bowl until just melted, but not piping hot. Set aside to cool while you mix the flours.
• Add the almond flour, xanthan gum, baking powder and salt to a medium bowl and whisk thoroughly. Pour in the butter and mix until evenly distributed (I just use my hands!). Add in your lightly whisked egg (1/2 egg is roughly 1 1/2 tablespoons or 25g) and continue to knead until it forms into a ball. Cover in cling film and place in the freezer for 5 minutes to solidify the butter.
• Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper, sprinkle seasoning and lightly roll again to press it in. Trim to desired cracker size and separate gently. The dough is fragile, so I separate the pieces by running a knife underneath.
• For medium crackers, cook on high in the parchment paper for 20 seconds, open the microwave and cook for another 15-20 seconds. The crackers will continue to crisp up as they cool, but I suggest you do a trial with a couple to nail down your time!
• Note: cooking times can vary a lot depending on your cracker size and microwave, and I found they cook more evenly in batches of 4-6 (as opposed to the whole batch!) and in two bursts. My microwave is 1000 watts. Also be sure to cook your dough right away, as leaving it in the fridge overnight makes the almond flour harder to crisp up (as it has absorbed the liquid and essentially 'blanched').
• Note 2: these can be baked too! Just do 8-12 minutes in your oven at 350F/180C until lightly golden (will depend on size and thickness). And to make them extra crisp, feel free to do a double bake biscotti-style (i.e. let them cool, and bake them again for 5 minutes).

KETO CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine mozzarella cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, and salt in microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds.
• Use your hands to knead mozzarella dough until fully mixed. Add egg yolk and continue kneading until completely blended into dough.
• Lay a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface and place dough on top. Place a second piece of parchment paper on top of dough. Press down on dough with your hands until you are ready for a rolling pin. Roll into a very thin rectangle with even sides. Gently poke holes in the dough using a fork to prevent it from bubbling while baking. Cut dough into 1-inch squares with a knife.
• Lay squares on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them
• Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven and turn crackers over. Bake on the other side until lightly browned and crisp, 2 more minutes. Watch them closely to prevent burning.

5 INGREDIENT KETO CRACKERS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, beat together the almond flour, butter, egg whites and xanthan gum until well combined.
• Place the dough into the freezer for 30 minutes to harden a bit. This will make it easier to handle and to cut out the crackers shapes.
• Roll the chilled dough out between two pieces of parchment paper until it is your desired thickness for your crackers. Be sure not to make the dough too thin, or it will be hard to transfer the cut out crackers to a baking sheet.
• Use a cookie cutter or other round object to cut out circles from the dough about the size of Ritz crackers.
• Transfer the crackers to a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Poke holes in the top of each cracker with the tines of a fork.
• Sprinkle salt to taste on the top of each cracker.
• Bake the crackers for 8-10 minutes until browned, crispy and cooked through.
