Storage/Reheating

FAQs

1. How do I make the crackers crunchier?

Make sure to roll the dough thinly and evenly, and bake until they turn a light golden brown. Allow them to cool fully before storing.

2. Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?

Coconut flour absorbs more moisture and won’t provide the same texture. It’s best to stick with almond flour for this recipe.

3. Are these crackers gluten-free?

Yes, these keto crackers are naturally gluten-free due to the use of almond flour.

4. Can I freeze the dough?

Yes, you can freeze the dough wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. Thaw completely before rolling and baking.

5. What can I serve with these crackers?

They pair well with cheese, keto dips, guacamole, or even nut butter for a quick snack.

6. How do I prevent the dough from shrinking?

Let the dough rest for 5 minutes before rolling it out to avoid shrinkage during baking.

7. Can I use whole eggs instead of just egg whites?

Using whole eggs may change the texture. Egg whites help keep the crackers light and crisp.

8. Why did my crackers turn out soft?

They may have been underbaked or not cooled properly. Make sure they’re baked until lightly browned and cooled on a rack.

9. Can I double the recipe?

Absolutely. This recipe scales easily—just adjust the ingredient quantities proportionally.

10. Do these crackers fit into a paleo diet?

Yes, they are also suitable for a paleo lifestyle if you use dairy-free butter alternatives.
