Recipe Notes
Here everything you need to know to make this keto slice and bake crackers recipe:
Ingredient Notes
The ingredients in this recipe are crazy simple, so much so, you may already have them in your kitchen! The only things I really want to touch base with you on is the dough and how to snack on them!
Dough – This fathead dough to make these crackers is basically the exact same as my fathead pizza dough! This is a twist on the traditional dough used to make crackers (or bread) and it’s instead been altered into a healthier version without having to use all-purpose refined flour and yeast.
Everything But the Bagel Seasoning – YES, I add this to all my cracker recipes. Because it’s addicting! Feel free to swap it with your herbs of choice, but I strongly recommend this one!
Tools To Make
Here’s what you need to make this fathead crackers recipe:
- A microwave safe bowl or double broiler. To melt the mozzarella and cream cheese, flour and salt together
- A rubber spatula. To mix everything together
- A large resealable plastic bag. To put the dough in
- A freezer. To freeze the dough
- A large plate. To roll the seasonings into the dough’s edges
- A sharp knife. To cut the dough into small pieces
- A greased baking sheet. To bake the dough into fathead crackers!
Storing Tips
Once these low carb appetizers are completely cooled, store them in an air-tight container in the fridge to maintain their freshness longer.
Feel free to re-crisp them by tossing them in the oven or microwave for a few.
Can You Freeze Them?
You can totally freeze this fathead crackers recipe! Just freeze the raw dough or you can bake the crust and then freeze them for low carb fathead crackers that are ready whenever you are!
How To Eat Them?
I loveeee to pair this fathead crackers recipe with:
- Salami and cheese (Brie is sooo good with these but any cheese is snacktastic!)
- A spread of cream cheese
- A spread of low carb peanut butter or any other low carb nut butter of your choosing
- Dipping these into hummus or Greek Tzatziki dip
The possibilities are endless! Don’t be afraid to try new things or crazy combinations! The results might surprise you!
Recipe Variations
There are so many healthy recipes variations you can make with these low carb crackers! Here are some ideas:
- Add flaxseed. They’re so easy to mix in to really anything and they come with a slew of health benefits– they’re rich in dietary fiber and are a fantastic source of plant-based protein. You won’t regret making flax seed crackers!
- Turn these into low carb graham crackers. Mix in some brown erthritol, and you’re well on your way to keto graham crackers! Or, check out my recipe, they’re waaaay better than the store bought traditional kinds!

Print Recipe Pin RecipeIngredients
- 6 Ounces Mozzarella shredded
- Small Handful of Chives about 15
- 1 1/4 Cup Almond Flour
- 6 Ounces Cream Cheese
- 3 Tablespoons Everything But the Bagel Seasoning optional
Instructions
- Dice a handful of chives.
- In a microwave safe bowl add shredded mozzarella (6 Ounces), cream cheese (6 Ounces) and almond flour (1 1/4 cup). Microwave to melt the cheeses. Alternatively, you can do this in a double boiler.
- Once the cream cheese has softened and cheese is melted, mix everything together using a rubber spatula.
- Add the chives and stir to combine.
- Set aside and allow this to slightly cool, but not harden.
- Place cracker dough inside a large resealable bag. Release air and seal bag.
- Press the dough to the bottom of the bag and roll it into a log that spans the crease of the bag.
- Roll the surface a few times to smooth out any creases.
- Freeze dough for 30 minutes. If you freeze longer, you’ll need to thaw the dough slightly before slicing it.
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Take the dough out of the baggie.
- Pour the Everything But the Bagel Seasoning onto a large plate.
- Roll the dough over the seasoning so they press into the edges of the dough.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the dough ¼ - ⅛” thick, keeping the slices as even as possible. Rotate the log between cuts so the crackers don’t flatten on one side.
- Place crackers on a greased baking sheet. (They won’t spread as they cook.)
- Bake the crackers for 25 minutes, or until they start to brown around the edges. Once they brown slightly, pull them from the oven, they’ll continue to crisp as they cool. Enjoy!

Lindsey's Tips
- Almond Flour. Using fine-grained almond flour will yield the most "flour-like" results. My favorite brands are Bob's Red Mill, Trader Joe's, or Costco brands.

It’s the crackers I love to have everyday!! ❤❤ Thanks for sharing Lindsey!
Simona
Dear Lindsey,
in the ingredient list you mention ‘Mozzarella’, then in the instruction you speak of ‘Cheddar’ … which one is the correct cheese to be used? Thank you 🙂
Lindsey
Great catch, thank you for that!! I love all the cheeses 🙂 Either cheese will work, but to get this exact color, I’d go with mozzarella. Hope you enjoy!
Katie Donlin
Hi Lindsey,
Thanks for this cracker recipe!!!! I am a Keto beginner. How many crackers are in one serving? Thanks Katie
Lindsey
Hi Katie! Awesome, welcome to the club 🙂 And happy you’re here! It depends on how thin you cut the crackers / how big in diameter they are. I was able to get 35 crackers out of this recipe, which is what the nutritional information is based on. Report back and let me know what you think, hope you enjoy!
Darlene
So one serving of this recipe cut into 35 crackers would be one cracker…correct?
Lindsey
Exactly Darlene. Hope you enjoy! ?
Carol
I’m new to Keto, too, and am excited to try these as a cracker alternative. Do these crackers store well? If kept in an air-tight container, are they fine for a few days? THANKS!
Lindsey
Hi Carol! Excited to hear what you think of them! They store well in the fridge! If they lose some of their crispness, toss them back in the oven for a few minutes, and enjoy! 🙂
JOANNE M Newman
so each cracker is a 1 carb?
Lindsey
Hi Joanne! Yes, 1 cracker (if you make 35) has 1 total carb and 0 net carbs 🙂
Tobius Holmes Holmes
I love the crackers, really good I tried it both ways with Trader Joes Everything but the Bagel seasoning, I had to get the seasoning off Amazon.ca and it was way too expensive so I found a recipe to make my own seasoning, I will include a copy of the seasoning recipe I found online
Lindsey
Yay, I’m so glad you enjoyed!?
