Sesame Cheese Crackers Low Carb-
Sesame Cheese Crackers Low Carb are grain-free, keto, and gluten-free, cheesy, sesame seed, and almond crackers.
These baked Sesame Cheese Crackers Low Carb are grain-free and made with almond flour, cheeses, and sesame seeds. They are crisp and perfect for snacking or spreading with your favorite dip.
These have a wonderful flavor and smell so good while baking that they brought my whole family out of their rooms, away from their computers, and into the kitchen.
These crackers are also the stars of my second recipe instruction video (see above & watch). By the way, that is me being goofy at the end of the video. I'm a video newbie, so any constructive feedback or helpful suggestions are appreciated.

I've made them again, this time without flour, and again with no egg. The cheese is enough to keep them cohesive. Again, cheese fried first etc. Noob tip: even if you're running out of 'normal' cheese, NEVER use mozzarella! And save yourself a world of agonising sacrifice by making sure doggo is not in the room while you're working on this! Judging by Missy Gilly these are life-changingly addictive to dogs.
Stacey says
Hi Bickieatrosse, Thanks for trying the recipe and for sharing your tips. Yes, the smell coming from the oven while baking these would make the doggos go nuts!
Linda says
Can you give me the approximate size of a cracker for the 5 grams of carbs..
Stacey says
The 3 crackers in the serving size were approximately 1.5 to 2 inches X 1.5 to 2 inches.
Kim says
These sound fantastic! I can't wait to make some. How long do they stay fresh? Do you refrigerate or counter? Covered ?
Stacey says
I covered them and stored on the counter for a couple of days.
Patty says
I have been making these for a few months now. We love them. I started adding a 1/2 Tablespoon of Everything Bagel seasoning to the mix. It adds a nice garlic/onion flavor to them.
Stacey says
Thank you so much, Patty, I will have to try that. I've seen that spice and picked some up!
KELLY says
GREAT RECIPE!, MAYBE IN THE FUTURE YOU WILL HAVE A CHICKEN IN A BISCUIT KETO - LOW CARB VERSION RECIPE, LOVE THOSE CRACKERS, BUT BAD FOR YOU.
Stacey says
Thank you, Kelly!
Stephanie says

Stephanie says
Ok..i said i would keep you all posted...these are amazing...no kidding!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Stacey says
Thank you so much, Stephanie 🙂
Stacey says
Thank you for giving these a try!
Bev says
Can another non nut flour be used instead of the almond flour? My kids would love these for school but it is a nut free zone. Any ideas??
Stacey says
I have not tried this, but possibly raw shelled sunflower seeds ground up into a flour in the food processor might work as a substitute.
Kate says
I made these today and they were delicious! Will be made on a regular basis from now. Man of the house loved them as well. 😊
Stacey says
Thank you so much Kate for making the recipe and taking the time to leave a nice comment 🙂
Bickieatrocity says
These are excellent!
My version subs in 1/4 wholemeal flour. The cheese and sesame seeds are doubled. The seeds are toasted, and the cheese fried until crisp and brown, and the fat all poured away. Chilli flakes and powder were added.
It was food-processed to shred the crisp Cheddar and the chunk of parmesan. More water was needed to make it clump. The sesame was mixed in last.
Cut into very tiny squares, so easy to eat.
Delicious. The rolling between greaseproof is a revelation to this barely intermediate cook.
thank you!
Stacey says
Thank you, Bickieatrocity, for trying the recipe, sharing your food processor tips (great idea) & for your kind words.
Lavana Fitzgerald says
Struggling to get the formula for the keto lifestyle.
Stacey says
Lavana, I know what you mean. It is a bit of a learning curve at first. Let me know if you have any questions.
Kris says
Looking forward to trying these. Is it necessary to freeze the dough? I will not be able to fit a baking sheet in my side by side, but I might fit one in the fridge.
Stacey says
Hi Kris, You can use the fridge as well. It is just to get the dough firm enough to slice the cracker shapes without it sticking to the knife too much.
Chris says
I don't, and I use a pizza cutter to score the lines. This is so danged yummy it's hard not to eat the whole thing!
Michele says
Thank you! Needed some crunch besides the veggies. We are new to low carb and are trying to make this a new way of life.
Stacey says
Michele, Thank you for trying the recipe and your kind words. Let me know if you need anything or have any questions on low carb. I am happy to help.
Raven Littlewater says
Stacey, thank you so much for this recipe! I made these for a baby shower and everyone loved them. I sent everyone to your site to check out all of your recipes. I made a few varieties too. I made the basic recipe and sprinkled some with rosemary, some with garlic butter instead of the 0live oil, some with sunflower seeds, some with poppy seeds. All were delicious!
Stacey says
Raven, thank you for your kind words, and I'm so pleased you tried the recipe. I like your variation ideas (the garlic butter one sounds extra yummy) 🙂 Thank you so much for sending your friends to my site. You're the best!
Margaret Woods says
Hi I would love to try this but I don't buy extra large eggs do you know if this would still turn out okay with one large egg yolk?
Stacey says
Yes Margaret, you can use a large egg white, you just may need to add a tiny bit more water to the dough. Just enough to form the dough.
Margaret says
Thanks! I just needed a couple drops of water, Wonderful recipe!
Stacey says
Awesome Margaret! thank you for updating us. I buy different sized eggs, so I also need to add a couple drops of water if the eggs are large or medium sized.
Kasey says
I just made these! Thank you so much! I was about to die for something crunchy....only 7 days in to low carb. Now I just might survive...lol
Stacey says
Hi Kasey, Thank you for trying the recipe and taking the time to leave a nice comment. I am thrilled that these helped with the crunchy cravings, and congratulations on making it through the first week. I know the cravings can be intense at first. Let me know if I can help with any of your struggles while low carbing.
