Looking for a gluten-free snacking? Check out this protein-rich Keto Cheese and Chive Crackers that is bursting with cheese garlicky flavors and has a spicy zing to it.
These crackers is a beginner-friendly recipe that is easy to make. It is a one-bowl recipe, where you mix all the ingredients, roll out the dough, cut the crackers, and bake. Yes, believe me, try it and thank me later 😊.
Again I had loads of chives in my garden and was looking for where I could use it. I already use them in my pancakes, Tofu Avocado and Chives Spread, or this Gluten-Free Millet Chives Flatbread. But I wanted to make something different. I want to make a snack that I can eat in the evening or just as is. So I made these Chives and Cheese Almond Crackers.
I decided to make it gluten-free and hence Almond Crackers. I have used almond flour in this recipe. The flour adds its own richness to the crackers. They are also crisp due to the almond flour.
Ingredients used in Keto Cheese and Chive Crackers
The first main ingredient used in Almond Flour. Other nut flours will work too. I have not made this with any other gluten-free flour as of now, so cannot comment much on that.
I have used mascarpone cheese in these crackers. It adds a natural moistness to the dough and we do not need any extra water or binding for this. One can replace this with cottage cheese, or any soft cheese.
I have used some fresh garden chives in this recipe. Dry chives will work too. If using dry use less as the dry would have strong flavour.
Next, I used garlic granules for that garlic flavor. Red chili flakes are added for the spicy kick. One can skip this if required. Salt for flavoring.

I have some almond flour in the cupboard and some chive and shallot Boursin cheese in the refrigerator. Now I have a great idea.....Thanks Renu.

These keto cheese and chive crackers are certainly guilt free snacking option. Like that no flour is used. And am guessing one can use herbs of their preference. Did you bake them on low heat so that the almond flour does not burn?

Hi, Yes we can use any herbs and it would be good. Yes I baked it on low heat due to almond flour. Thanks, Renu
