This easy Keto crackers recipe is made with coconut flour and topped with sharp cheddar and fragrant, fresh thyme. Perfect as a satiating low carb snack or as a crunchy, grain free side for a salad or soup.
These coconut flour crackers have been a staple in out kitchen for several years. Actually, it's one of the first Keto crackers recipe I created when I started eating sugar free and low carb. We've served it at dinner parties and I've even made it at a yoga retreat where I was cheffing and it always gets the thumbs up. Friends, EVERYONE likes cheesy crackers!
Most low carb crackers recipes are made with almond flour, like these equally yummy almond low carb crackers. Some people cannot tolerate almond flour though, so these coconut flour crackers are the perfect alternative!
Coconut flour is, of course, astonishingly good for you. Read more about the health benefits of coconut flour here. The only thing is that it DOES have a gentle coconut taste, which is why it's a favourite for sweet recipes.
I can assure you that this Keto crackers recipe does not taste of coconut AT ALL.
How? Well, this recipe contains a fair amount of cheese - a mix of cheddar and parmesan. Combined with the thyme, these flavours are so prominent you'll have NO IDEA there's even a sliver of coconut flour in these crackers!
How to make cheesy Keto coconut flour crackers - step by step:
1.) Combine the coconut flour, butter, egg, cheddar and parmesan in a bowl and mix until you have a smooth dough. You can do this by hand or with an electric mixer / food processor.
Let the mixture rest for a few minutes so the coconut flour can absorb the moisture. 
2.) Form 8 balls and press them down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 
3.) Top with the remaining ¼ cup of grated cheddar and fresh thyme leaves. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the low carb crackers are nicely browned and the cheese has melted and crisped up. That's it!
Tips and tricks to make this Keto crackers recipe taste the way you love
Make sure you flatten your crackers properly. The flatter they are, the crispier they will become.
You don't need to use fresh thyme (although it tastes divine). If you have dried thyme in your kitchen cupboard that will do nicely too.
Feel like tweaking the recipe? Try using different spices such as rosemary or make spicy Keto crackers by adding paprika and a pinch of chilli or cayenne pepper.
You can sub the parmesan for pecorino if you prefer, it gives a saltier, very tasty touch to the recipe.
If you are NOT after a crispy texture, you could adapt this recipe and make Keto cheesy biscuits instead. Simply add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and form 4 larger biscuit shapes instead of the 8 crackers. They will be soft and fluffy on the inside!

Haven't made these yet but they look great. Can I used almond flour instead, I don't like the taste of coconut flour.
Katrin Nürnberger
Yes, but you'll need to use around 3 times more almond flour than coconut flour as it absorbs less liquid.
Wendy Newman
I love this recipe thanks.
But a question: I made them extra thin as I wanted them really crispy. I stored in airtight container and found them quite soft - less crispy that out of the over. Any suggestions? Should I re bake ?
Thanks very much.
Katrin Nürnberger
Yes, just put them back in the oven and they will crisp up again as they cool.
Amita
Hi Katrin,
Have you tried these in you air-fryer? Would you have the temp/timings for this?
No problem if not, I shall post my results if it works!
Many thanks
Katrin Nürnberger
No, I haven't. I would go for the same temperature and a little less time.
Cynthia
I used my air fryer and didn’t use the basket but the tray because I wanted to press them down. The bottom didn’t get done and I had to finish them in a pan. So if I were you I would press them out honey baking paper and then put that on the basket so the underside gets more heat. I did it at 350 for about 15 minutes (til I saw too browning) but then took out and browned on the bottom in the pan. If you do it in basket on paper you probably won’t have to use pan. I will try again
Cynthia
Also, they spread a little so leave room.
Susan Virnala
Can this recipe be doubled without problems?
Katrin Nürnberger
Yes that should be fine.
Arena
These look delicious. Just wondering what the serving size is. I'm guessing 2 crackers.
Katrin Nürnberger
I calculate the nutrition per cracker. How many will depend on how hungry you are. 2 are a good portion - they are filling, because of the coconut flour and the cheese.
Anu
Looks fantastic, I'd like to make these for Christmas gifts, so I'm wondering if they freeze well? If so, do you recommend freezing before or after baking? Thanks!
Katrin Nürnberger
I think it would be easier to freeze them after baking. However, to get them nice and crisp after defrosting you will probably have to stick them back in the oven for 5 minutes.
Wendy Mattelaer
We had these for lunch.... Yum! Goes lovely with cheese and hams. We were craving biscuits or bread and this recipe worked a treat. Thanks.

Can these crackers be done in a microwave instead if oven?
Katrin Nürnberger
Hi there, you could try and they should cook but they would not be crispy.
Princess
Thank you! I'll test microwave and let you know. I have done almond flour and parmesan cheese crackers and crisped up.
Katrin Nürnberger
Oh that's good to know!! I've been wanting to develop a good microwave cracker recipe 🙂
