You won't believe how 100% crispy these keto seed crackers are! They are packed with sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and chia seeds. This keto cracker recipe is amazing for snacking or as part of a sharing platter or a cheese board. Only 1g net carbs per cracker!
Sticking to a low carb diet or a keto diet is all about preparation. And I've gotta tell you, these low carb seed crackers are one of my new secret weapons. In the last few days, I've had them for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
They are gluten free, vegan, super easy to make and stay extra crispy for weeks. Many keto cracker recipes contain nut flours but these crackers are completely nut free.
Multi seed crackers ingredients
My super seed crackers are crazy nutritious. Check out the superfood ingredients and their benefits:
Pumpkin seeds - Also known as pepita seeds, pumpkin seeds are high in antioxidants such as cartenoids and vitamin E. Antioxidants help reduce inflammation. They are also one of the best sources of magnesium (source).
Sunflower seeds - Apart from anti-inflammatory benefits, sunflower seeds are rich in healthy fats that are linked to good heart health. They also contain vitamins and minerals that support the immune system (source).
Sesame seeds - High in fibre, which is vital for digestive health. Sesame seeds may also help lower cholesterol and reduce heart disease risk (source).
Chia seeds - AKA one of the healthiest foods on the planet! These tiny seeds are loaded with fibre, protein and omega-3 fatty acids (source).
Psyllium husk - Psyllium husks are the husks from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant. They are a prebiotic fiber, which is essential for a healthy gut.
How to make keto seed crackers
Now to the best part. Seed crackers are incredibly easy to make! All you need to do is mix them with a little water and wait for the chia seeds and psyllium husk to expand and become gel-like and sticky. This way you end up with a cracker "dough" that you can roll out.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Mix well and let rest for 20 minutes so the mixture can thicken.
Once the chia seeds and the psyllium have absorbed the liquid, the mixture takes on a gooey, gel-like consistency. Transfer your cracker "dough" onto parchment paper...
... and put another sheet of parchment on top. Roll out using a rolling pin or flatten with our hands into a thin layer. My mix covered a 30 x 40 cm baking sheet and I had a few offcuts which I baked on a second tray.
Now, remove the top parchment and pre-cut into squares using a pizza cutter or a knife. Don't miss this step!
Bake for about 1 hour until all water has evaporated and the keto crackers are lightly browned and crisp.
Note - The oven time will depend on how thick or thin you have rolled out the dough. If it's been rolled out thicker, you may need to add 10-15 minutes. If it's very thin, 1 hour may be too long. Just keep an eye on them!
What to eat seed crackers with
1. Enjoy them for nibbles with a dip such as guacamole, taramasalata or baba ganoush.
2. They could be part of a large mezze sharing platter or cheese board when you're having a crowd over.
3. Or treat them like a mini sandwich. Think butter, ham and cheese, cream cheese and smoked salmon or peanut butter and sugar free strawberry jam!
4. Seed crackers even work as part of a simple keto meal (such as hearty soups or salads). They are filling and so satisfying. And did I mention delicious?
Recipe variations
This recipe can be customised to fit whichever seeds you have in your cupboard and to your preferences.
You could change the quantities of the seeds around or use whole flaxseed or poppy seeds, for example.
Or try gently toasting the seeds before you mix the "dough" to elevate the taste. This can be done in a dry pan or in the oven.
Ground flax could work in place of the chia seeds. Also, ground flax seed is a possible sub for the psyllium husk powder. My guess is that you will need more flax than psyllium though. I would use 2 tbsp flax seeds instead of the 1 tbsp psyllium husk powder.
Optional flavour add-ins:
- 1 tsp garlic powder and / or 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp herbs such as thyme, oregano or rosemary
- 2 tsp zataar or everything bagel seasoning
- 1 tsp paprika and 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tbsp nigella seeds or black sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan or nutritional yeast flakes for a cheesy vegan cracker
- 2 chopped nori sheets
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Storage
Once your super seed crackers are cooled completely, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 weeks.

WONDERFUL......I was worried they might burn, so I took them out early 25-26 minutes and let them cool and get crunchy. Sampled, of course. Then I put them back in the oven for 6 more minutes, took them out and ate some warm......soooo good. I used rosemary garlic seasoning......they were so good they did not need anything on them.
This is the absolutely best cracker I have ever made. THANK YOU
Liz says
Simple to do Used ground linseed instead of almond flour
Instructions easy to follow
Delicious and very useful to have in the cupboard
Excellent
Vanya says
Perfect and easy to make, as all your recipes that I have tried so far. Thank you!
Jan says
Going to make these today! Have you tried using a sweet blend of spices? Maybe pumpkin spices and monkfruit?
Katrin Nürnberger says
I have never tried this but it sounds like an interesting idea!
Jan says
I made your original recipe and it was great.
Today I played around with your recipe. I decreased sunflower seeds to 1/2 cup. I added 1/4 cup Lily's Dark chocolate chips, 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tbsp powdered monk fruit. It turned out great!
Thanks for all your delicious, healthy recipes!!!
Katrin Nürnberger says
Glad you enjoyed it. And thanks for letting us know your tweaks! Love it 🙂
Wendy says
Sesame seeds don't agree with me, do you have a suggestion on what I could sub these for?
Katrin Nürnberger says
Hi Wendy, just use more of the other seeds or even use almond flour.
Debra says
These are terrific! Both my husband and I love them. I pulsed the pumpkin seeds first until they were quite broken up, then pulsed the sunflower seeds a couple of times and left the sesame seeds whole. I decided to add more of everything and about 3 Tbls of flax meal, added more water and went with the nutritional yeast option. I was able to fill a 10 x 15 inch pan to about a 1/4 inch depth and used a 2 inch square cookie cutter for the pre-cut. These will be great for travelling and are a much healthier evening snack. I plan to try out all the variations and think I’ll do 2 pans next time! Thx for another great recipe!
Katrin Nürnberger says
So glad you like them!
Debra says
I forgot to mention, I also added 3 tbls of hemp seeds!
Linda says
Thank you for this recipe, I had a fun time with these, I added other nuts, and mixed them all up, Then I added dill popcorn seasoning they were great, Thank you, again
Katrin Nürnberger says
Sounds yum! These are great with all kinds of different seasoning or even torn-up nori.
William Heller says
Sounds great. Haven't tried, but I'm sure they're delicious. Can I grind some of the bigger seeds or will it change the batter?
Katrin Nürnberger says
If you grind some of the seeds you MAY need a little more water to be able to roll it out well.
Jodie says
Easy, fail-proof recipe!
