What Are Crackers?
You may see crackers called a variety of different names, including biscuits, flatbreads, pitas, wafers, tricots, wheat thins, and more. Crackers are baked food, oftentimes made from different types of flour, making them a relative of grains. Crackers gained their popularity from their ability to be eaten and served with almost any other meal as well as being a nice snack all by themselves.
No crab crackers made from mostly or all seeds—think flax, sunflower, pumpkin, and more. “These supply healthy fats, fiber, and protein,” Keating says. They also tend to be gluten-free. Look for crackers made with whole grains, or grain-free seed-only products.
Are crackers good for weight loss?
Crackers and chips are often high in calories and may also contain added fats, salts, and sugar. Crackers and chips are types of processed food. A 2015 study in Brazil found a positive correlation between the consumption of “ultra-processed foods” and obesity.
Can you lose weight by eating zero carbs?
A sudden lack of carbs will make you lose weight. It’s mostly water weight at first, though. This is mostly because cutting carbs also wipes out the glycogen stores in your muscles. Glycogen helps your body retain water
How to Make No Carb Crackers
No-carb crackers are amazingly delicious and easy to make. And only 0.4 net carbs per cracker makes them even better!
What Ingredients Are in No Carb Crackers
Almond Flour-This flour is made of 100% almonds, it tastes great and it’s fantastic that there is actually flour for people who have to eat a low carb diet, allowing them to have things to eat and not feel deprived.
Butter – This is an ingredient that goes well in any recipe when you are on a Low Carb diet/Keto diet, and Gluten diet plans. It adds so much flavor to things without changing your blood sugar level, and it’s butter so it tastes awesome!
Olive Oil – Just make sure that it is Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Like butter, this ingredient adds a lot of great taste, also a necessary ingredient in Keto/Low Carb diets and also gluten Free, Sugar-Free, Paleo, Grain-Free, and Vegan diets.
Chia Seeds – I had never used these seeds in anything before, but I was pleasantly surprised. They add so much character to these crackers.
Which Flour is Better For No Carb Crackers, Almond or Coconut?
People are curious as to which flour is superior for making crackers: almond or coconut. I have used both varieties in numerous no Carb dishes because they are both incredibly flexible to employ. Both can work for you and are made for baking.
Since they both have pretty similar nutritional data and I enjoy them equally, I believe it comes down to personal preference or even the sort of flour you happen to have on hand. Your no carb Crackers will taste delicious either way.
How to Make No Carb Crackers – Instructions
1. In a small bowl add the chia seeds and water and let sit for about 15 min or until the seeds soak up all the water.
2. In another bowl mix the almond flour and spices and olive oil. Now add the chia seeds to this mixture and mix well to create your dough.
3. Take the dough and form it into a large ball, then divide it into 4 smaller balls. This will make it much easier to roll flat.
4. Place each ball between 2 pieces of parchment paper and roll out as thin as possible.
5. Next, remove the top piece of paper and cut the dough into an evenly sized square or rectangular pieces. Put any excess dough from around the edges back into the bowl and add to another ball of dough.
You should have something that looks similar to this when done:
6. Keep crackers on paper and place the paper onto a cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for about 8-9 min, depending on how hot your oven runs, keeping an eye out so as not to burn your crackers.
7. When golden brown, remove from oven and let stand for about 5 min. Then take off the paper with a small spatula.
How to Roll The Dough
This is a delightful task, and my daughter-in-law quickly took on this responsibility. After giving it a shot once, she was named the “dough roller” in charge.
When creating Low Carb crackers, this step is perhaps the most important because it will determine whether the crackers turn out crispy or not.
Roll out a part of the dough between two pieces of parchment paper. You want it to be thin enough to crunch, but not too thin that it breaks easily. To achieve the desired uniformity, it could take a few tries, but it makes a huge difference!
How to Make Crackers Crispy?
We all love crispy crackers so the best way to make your Low Carb Crackers crispy is to first roll them out between 2 pieces of parchment paper. The key is the thinner you can roll out the dough, the crispier your Keto/Low Carb crackers will be.
If it’s not rolled out enough your Crackers will be thicker and as a result, won’t be as crispy as if they were rolled out thinner. We experimented with this process a few times until we found the right balance so it might take a couple of tries for you too.
Another necessary thing to do to make your Keto crackers crispy is to cook the dough right away. If you refrigerate your dough and then try to bake it later the almond flour has already absorbed the liquid and it’s harder to bake it and get the crunch that you are looking for.
