Low carb flaxseed crackers are flavoured with Parmesan cheese making them a delicious savoury low carb and gluten free snack.
I enjoy a crunchy cracker with my cheese and these low carb crackers hit the spot. It helps that they have a cheesy taste too! Enjoy them smothered with a cream cheese spread or with a plate of cheese slices and olives.
These great keto crackers have all the nutritional benefits of Flax seed that include high fibre, Omega 3-fatty acids (great for us Vegetarians), a good source of magnesium, high levels of lignans and low in carbs.
How to make flaxseed crackers
Flaxseed meal is the main ingredient for these keto crackers. You can purchase bags of it ready ground or you can make your own by grinding flax seeds in a coffee grinder or food processor.
You can use either golden or brown flaxseed. I think the golden flaxseed has a smoother taste but it's just a personal preference.
Recipe Tips
The thinner you roll the flaxseed mixture, the cruncher the cracker will be.
Try adding other flavours or herbs such as thyme or rosemary for extra flavour.
