Chef's pro tip

For ultra-crispy crackers, turn off the oven when the baking time is done and leave the graham crackers inside with the door slightly ajar for an extra 10 minutes. This helps them dry out without overbaking.

Frequently asked questions

Traditional graham crackers are not keto-friendly, as they are usually made with wheat flour and sugar, which are high in carbs. However, keto-friendly graham crackers can be made using low-carb ingredients. 

Yes! You can use sunflower seed flour or coconut flour instead of almond flour, but you’ll need to adjust the wet ingredients to maintain the dough's consistency. 

If your crackers are soft, they may need to bake a bit longer. After the initial bake time, leave them in the oven with the heat turned off and the door slightly open to crisp up. 

Yes, you can! Dehydrate at 140°F for about 8-10 hours, or until completely dry and crispy.

Of course! Simply replace the egg with a “flax egg” by mixing 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons of water.  Then, swap butter with coconut oil or vegan butter. 

If the dough has a raw egg, it’s best to store it in the fridge for no more than 4 hours.
