Keto Cheez-Its Style Cheese Crackers 

So, who doesn't love a Cheez It or a Goldfish cracker? They use to be one of my favorites. I could literally sit down and kill a box of Cheez-Its. Ok, not the whole box, but certainly enough that I was sick of them for the next month. Problem is, Cheez-Its are not a keto friendly cracker. They are loaded with carbs. Welp. 

Almond Flour Crackers

I was really missing a crunchy cracker type snack and I got tired of wasting money on store bought products that sucked. I set out to create my own version using almond flour, the most common keto replacement. Honestly, I think these almond flour keto cheez-its style crackers are a much healthier and tastier alternative, the cheese flavor really comes through. They totally make you feel like you're indulging when you really aren't! I find myself craving salty and crunchy instead of sweets since I started following a keto diet and these do not disappoint. It's important to have a variety of snacks to keep your cravings at bay and one can only eat so many nuts and jerky.
 

They are Keto Friendly

One serving of our keto cheese crackers contains the recommended macronutrients for the keto diet. High fat, moderate protein and low carb. Right around the 75/20/5 percentage average. Everyone follows their own macros, but on average this is the most common.  At only 2 net carbs per serving, you can't go wrong and therefore they are a keto friendly cracker! Score!

Making our Keto Cheez Its

 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 ounce cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour (we used blanched) NOTE* I have not tested with coconut flour so can not make a recommendation for substitution.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon each onion & garlic powder
 

Instructions

In a microwave safe bowl, warm butter and cream cheese until soft. Do not melt completely.
 
Stir in cheeses.  Mix until cheeses soften and start to melt.  If the cheese does not break down enough from just the heat of the softened fats, heat the mixture in the microwave for 15 seconds at a time until it combines into a sticky ball.
In another bowl, beat egg.
Stir in flour and seasonings. Mix well.
dough in bowl.
Add flour mixture to the melted cheeses. Mix, mix and mix some more.  Mixture will be sticky at first.  Just keep mixing until combined. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. It is a crucial step to getting the right texture to your keto cheez-its.

NOTE*
Occasionally there are variations to this recipe (same as the fathead recipe) where some people end up with a more dry or a more sticky mixture. This is due to the type of cheeses or size of the eggs being different.  If your mixture is too dry, add a little melted butter or olive oil until to gain the right consistency. If it is too sticky even after refrigeration, add a small amount of almond flour.
