These are so delicious and so easy!! Nice crispy texture for cheese and crackers that I’ve been on keto. I upped the amount of sesame seeds and used xantham gum instead of psyllium husk, cape out great. I think next time I’ll try Parmesan cheese instead of mozzarella just to give them a little more flavor.

I really like these crackers. I stored them in an airtight container but am finding that they are losing their crispness. Any suggestions?

Did you use the same amount of xantham gum as you would have used for the psyllium husk powder?

You can put them in a toaster or oven for a few minutes and they should crisp back up.

Just made these as per recipe and they’re amazing. The mixture needs to be spread really thinly. This was tricky but I laid a sheet of grease proof paper of the top and used a rolling pin and then peeled it off with ease. The previous tip to use a pizza cutter after the first 20 minutes worked a treat too.

I absolutely love these but I found that the cheese appears and tastes burnt, now I did use grated mozzarella so i wonder if its that. Can I use without or will a different type be better, they are scrummy !!!!

You may just need to cook them for a shorter time than the recipe calls for.

I love these! I was really missing something crispy to put meats, cheeses and spreads on. I used the method of cutting with a pizza cutter and that worked really well. I stored mine in a metal cookie tin for two weeks and they were still crispy and tasty. Just made my second batch!

OMG! So delicious. I swapped 1/4 cup of sesame seeds for poppy seeds, pumpkin seeds instead of sunflower, seasoned with onion powder and garlic salt instead of regular salt and parmesan cheese! So yum with gooey French triple brie or avocado. Thanks for the delicious recipes. Keep 'em coming. Zoe

I made the and loved the result...but I thought 1 gm for the batch! I ate about 6 yesterday...I hope I didn't ruin my day! ...maybe a little more detail in the recipes about portion size? My crisps were 1" X 1 /2" rectangles....

Portion sizes for all recipes need to be clearer. I followed the ingredients for 7 so does that mean 7 equal portions equals 1g carb in each?

I cut the 7 serving recipe into about 16 1” squares. How much would one serving be?

Yes, if you scaled the recipe to make 7 servings, then you would divide your dish into 7 portions and each would be 1g carb.

Psyllium and almond meal/flour react very differently in baking.

I was so impressed with these. So crunchy and cheesy. I did add some parmesan, along with grated cheddar cheese. I also added milled flax seed as the mixture looked a bit wet and I was worried it wouldn't work out and I'd end up with a mess and wasted ingredients. But the crackers came out PERFECTLY and now my only concern is portion control!

Having noticed lots of comments saying the seed cracker recipes don't go crisp, I wanted to share that I have made both using my halogen cooker and (drawer) air fryer and they both crisp brilliantly! Only problem I have is getting some for myself because everyone dives into them. I'm currently trying to work out how to turn the sesame ones into prawn sesame crackers, any suggestions would be welcome.

Most recipes work better when the oven is pre-heated.

Can flax seeds be used instead of sesame seeds? If I leave out the cheese, does something else have to be subbed in?

Check out the Tip underneath the instructions. You can simply omit the cheese and substitute seeds as you prefer.

Really good. During a heat wave, when I didn't want to turn the oven on, I experimented with microwaving (very carefully) and it worked very well.

I made these crackers yesterday....they are wonderful!
I have been on Keto for about 6 months now and my only remaining craving was for cheese with crackers!
Had some last night!

I did halve the recipe and used Parmesan, Sunflower and sesame seeds.
To figure the carbs , fats and proteins....I weighed the whole thing (digital scale) and divided up accordingly!
The pizza cutter is perfect for cutting at the 20min.mark.
This recipe is really good....and it's easy!

Nutritional value is per serving. If you have 7 servings at 1g per serving and your batch makes 28pieces each serving would be 4pieces. 28 pieces/7 servings =4 pieces per serving which will equal 1g net carbs.
