Easy keto flaxseed crackers are made with the minimum of ingredients. They deliver a healthy crunch and are also gluten free, Paleo & vegan. They are a great way to add fibre to your diet too.
I love how simple these are to make and how delicious they are. You can play around with the flavourings to suit your taste and for those of you who are not the biggest fan of flaxseed, spice it up! They are delicious with dips as well as by themselves. It's made me want to reach for more dip recipes as this is a great cracker in texture and taste.
THE BENEFITS OF FLAXSEED
The great thing is that this is a wonderful way to get some glorious flaxseed into your diet. Flax seed is high in fibre, antioxidants, magnesium, phosphorus, and is rich in omega 3 fatty acids which is an excellent preventative for degenerative illnesses like heart disease, hypertension and rheumatoid arthritis. A great and simple keto flaxseed recipe too.
HOW TO MAKE FLAXSEED CRACKERS
These low carb crackers are just ground flaxseed and water. Spices are added to provide extra flavour and I enjoy a touch of heat to even out the flaxseed flavour. I cut mine into square but when you roll the dough out you could cut them into different shapes. Perhaps triangles to make flaxseed nachos.
When rolling the flaxseed cracker dough out between parchment paper ensure that it is even and thin. About 3mm thickness should be thin enough to handle without breaking. If they are too thick they will lose some of their crunch.
Serve these flaxseed crackers with a tasty Boursin cheese spread or a dollop of sugar free fennel jam.

Homemade flaxseed crackers are absolutely amazing--they've been my go-to for years, especially for traveling and going to appetizer parties. I like to add some pumpkin seeds to the mix to make them extra delicious. Try them with a dollop of goat's cheese and a spoonful of sugar free hot pepper jelly on top!
Angela Coleby
Love the addition of pumpkin seed idea!

I rarely comment on recipes but I tried these today and they will be on regular rotation on my weekly menu. I love that you can change up the herbs and will try some of the recommendations in the comments (and will add some salt). The biggest temptations for me to veer off of the low carb lifestyle are crackers/chips. I love guacamole and also sliced cheese. I crave something crunchy and satisfying to go with them. This is the answer and a godsend!! So easy, low-cost, yummy, and healthy! AND, what a wonderful way to add ground flax seeds to my diet. This will be my new go-to when I'm looking for something crunchy. My tastebuds (and gut) thank you for this easy, tasty, healthy recipe for crackers!!
Angela Coleby
Hi Janet, I'm delighted you enjoyed this recipe. It's an easy one which always helps! Have fun playing with the flavorings!

Just wanted to let you know I made a variatIon on this recipe. I thought I had flaxseed in the cupboard but when I looked it was milled Linseed! No garlic or onion powder either
I went ahead and made it anyway same quantities but I added 1tsp smoked paprika some pink salt and a tbsp of Engevita yeast flakes for a cheesy flavour and they’ve turned out great!
Thanks for all your great recipes

I made then right now and they're horrible! They're just too spicy, completely inedible! So dissapointed ?
Angela Coleby
That's a shame. I prefer a lot of spice so perhaps you would enjoy them with other flavourings.
Barbara
Hi have baked these and taste good! However very soft is this how they should be?
Divalicious
Hi Barbara, they should be a bit crispier so next time perhaps cook them for an extra 5 minutes. Glad you enjoy them!

Hi, I am dying to make this but cannot find onion or garlic powder - will the salt in both cases work?
Divalicious
Hi Marlene. You can use any seasoning of your choice with the crackers. Hope you enjoy them and thanks for popping by!
Marlene de Wet
What is the best (easiest) way of grinding flaxseeds - my equipment is quite old (like me).
Divalicious
LOL Marlene! I use a coffee bean grinder. You can purchase ground flaxseeds too..(probably the easiest route - ha ha!)
Divalicious
Hi! No, the dough is just baked on one sheet of parchment paper. I use a piece of it to help roll out the crackers as the mixture can be a bit sticky. Hope you enjoy them and thanks for popping by!

Awesome! Good idea, thanks for replying and thanks for the help! ☮
