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.

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 love the use of yeast flakes! What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Can these be made with a little parm cheese on top?
Yes they can.
Delicious crackers! Next time I will experiment with other herbs and spices. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed them! I love how easy they are to make too!
How many crackers does this make?
About 15 to 18
I made then right now and they're horrible! They're just too spicy, completely inedible! So dissapointed ?
That's a shame. I prefer a lot of spice so perhaps you would enjoy them with other flavourings.
Hi have baked these and taste good! However very soft is this how they should be?
Hi Barbara, they should be a bit crispier so next time perhaps cook them for an extra 5 minutes. Glad you enjoy them!
I made them this morning to serve with a home-made dip! they are just divine! 🙂 x
Glad you enjoyed them Sophie!
xxx 🙂
Can't wait to try to make these! Thanks!
Hope you enjoy them! Thanks for popping by and happy baking!
Hi, I am dying to make this but cannot find onion or garlic powder - will the salt in both cases work?
Hi Marlene. You can use any seasoning of your choice with the crackers. Hope you enjoy them and thanks for popping by!
What is the best (easiest) way of grinding flaxseeds - my equipment is quite old (like me).
LOL Marlene! I use a coffee bean grinder. You can purchase ground flaxseeds too..(probably the easiest route - ha ha!)
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! ☮
