Sometimes you just want something crunchy, or you want something to spread your favorite dip on rather than just eat it with a spoon. This is one of the banes of low carb/paleo existence. Luckily, it’s dead easy to whip up some almond crackers to satisfy on both counts! You can enjoy them as is or use them as vehicles for other tasty food such as guacamole or pate. You could even make them into dessert by adding some cinnamon or pie spice to the dough and perhaps a touch of honey or maple syrup.
Grain Free Almond Crackers
Ingredients:
1 cup almond flour
1 egg white
1 pinch salt
(that’s it!)
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
In a bowl, mix together the almond flour, egg white, and salt until it forms a paste.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Make sure you use parchment paper, because if you don’t you’ll end up chipping your crackers out of the pan.
Place the dough in the middle and top with another piece of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin (or any other cylindrical instrument), roll out the dough as thin as you can get it.
Try to make it take up the whole cookie sheet if you can. Super thin. I mean it!
Peel off the top layer of paper and score the dough with a knife into whatever size crackers you want. Bake in the 325 oven for 10 minutes and then check on the crackers.
You are looking for them to color ever so slightly. A little color means crispy, but a lot of color means burned nut taste, which is no good.
If the edges have started to color nicely, remove them to a plate and put the remaining crackers back in the oven.
Keep doing this, checking every 5 minutes and removing the golden crackers, until finally they are all baked to perfection.
Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
You can make many variations on thee crackers by adding in different seasonings to the dough base.
