Crunchy Keto Crackers: Dry Ingredients- 6 Tablespoons or (60 grams) Hemp Hearts - Shelled Hemp Seeds 4 Tablespoons or (24 grams) Whey Protein Isolate 2 Teaspoons or (6 grams) Acacia Fiber 2 Tablespoons or (14 grams) Unflavored Collagen 1/4 Cup or (30 grams) Parmesan Cheese 5 Tablespoons or ( 30 grams) Pork Rind Crumbs 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda 1 Teaspoon Baking powder 1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder 1- 1/2 Tablespoons or (9 grams) Cheddar Powder or you can substitute with (6 grams) of Butter Powder Thoroughly combine all of the dry ingredients into a medium size mixing bowl. Wet Ingredients- 2 Tablespoons of melted Butter that's cooled 1 Tablespoon Sour Cream or you can substitute with greek yogurt or even Whipping Cream 1 Heaping Teaspoon of Dijon Mustard 1 Whole Egg Whisk together until well blended and creamy. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until all ingredients combine together to form a dough as shown in the video. Pre-Heat Oven to 375 Place dough onto a lightly greased sheet of parchment paper pre cut to the size of your silicone mat. Ours measured (9-1/2x14-1/2) Spread out the dough mixture with a spatula to form the rectangle shape of your mat. Cover with another lightly greased sheet of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin and roll out dough to fit mat edges. Flip over if necessary to remove any creases and continue to roll until smooth. Remove top piece of parchment paper and place your rolled out dough onto a cookie cooling rack. Place the rack onto a cookie sheet use a silicone mat under the cookie rack to avoid the rack from sliding while placing into the oven. Bake for 7 minutes. (Whisk one egg white until frothy and set aside until ready to use) Remove from oven and carefully slide the parchment paper onto a safe cutting surface. Apply a frothy egg white only wash over the tops of your crackers with a pastry brush. Grease your pizza cutter or knife and score your crackers. We made 8 rows across and 6 rows lengthwise. Making a total of 48 evenly sized crackers. Place cracker sheet back onto the cookie rack and return to oven for and additional 7-10 minutes. Remove from oven and slide crackers off the parchment paper to cool completely. Cooling on the parchment paper could cause moisture to build on bottom of parchment that can cause crackers to lose the crunchy texture. The crackers will continue to crisp up as they cool. Since everyone's oven cooks a little different you might have to pop them back into the oven to crisp. Sometimes you have to remove the outer crackers first if the center ones haven't crisped up to your liking. Just watch them so they don't burn. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Wow! Indigo Nili made your crackers today and both she and Charity loved them! Hope you get lots of new subscribers from the exposure on her video! You deserve it! ❤️🥰❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words. We were shocked when her video popped up in our notifications. It was so much fun to watch her make our recipe with her adorable sous chef Charity. So glad she gave us a 9 out of 10. Totally made our day for sure. Thanks again Judy and Happy New Year! Karen and Therese
@@lowcarbspinSo glad that I saw your recipe on Indigo Nili. I like to always like to see how the recipe creator makes the same recipe. I am impressed with you two ladies and I have subscribed. I look forward to checking out your other videos and recipes.❤️❤️
Great to find this recipe as it will be a great addition to a get together since I do keto and don't eat grains. I also think that most non-keto people would enjoy this and never realize it wasn't what they normally eat. Indigo Nili had this recipe on her channel today and sent us over here to get the ingredients and give you a shout out. I plan on making these when I get home. 💙
We were so surprised when her video showed up in our notifications. We love her channel. Thanks for coming over and checking us out. Please let us know how they turn out for you. Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese
I’m excited to try these! A good cooking spray tip is to put your pan or a sheet pan with the parchment on it on the open door of our dishwasher. Then, just spray and the overspray gets washed away!
I used flax meal because I didn’t have any hemp hearts and I don’t eat pork so used 1 tablespoon of gelatine and they were delicious. Thank you for a great base recipe Greetings from Melbourne Australia
Wow! We appreciate you sharing your substitutes. That will definitely help out others with the same issues or dietary restrictions. We're so glad that our recipe as a base turned out for you. We'll have to try it. Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese
Yes we were excited that she shared what substitutions worked for her lifestyle. We're planning on trying it too. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
We agree 100%. Please let us know what you think once you get the chance to make them. We would love to know what combos everyone comes up with. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Thanks for coming back to our channel. Definitely give them a try. After all Charity gave them a 9 out of a 10. Let us know what you try. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Thanks so much for this recipe! You have made my husband a very happy man. He enjoys the main version you have here, but I have been experimenting with a less savory version, so I made it by substituting the butter powder for the cheddar powder and omitting the onion powder. They are very, very good. (I wish I had thought to leave the mustard out of the wet ingredients. I’m going to try just upping the sour cream a bit and I think they will be perfect.) They are almost like free food-so light and crunchy. The downside is I’m going to have to make them constantly! (My husband lived on crackers before keto.) I also sprinkle a bit of sea salt after the egg wash. It’s a nice little touch. I think I like them better than flour-based crackers. (It was amusing to me that I had every single ingredient already, except the acacia fiber. I’m developing a regular old keto kitchen “lab.” One key thing I do that really makes a difference for those who are interested: After I pull these out of the oven on the final stage, I put them in my dehydrator overnight (10 hours on mine at 158 degrees.). Perfection, even if they are a little too thick (which is a challenge). Update: In experimenting more with my “plain version,” I have landed finally on this combination: I exchange the cheddar powder for butter powder as described in the recipe, I omit the onion powder and the mustard, and I add 1 tsp of Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener (a combination of erythritol and Monkfruit). Please don’t use allulose or Bochasweet if you want a crispy cracker. Those sweeteners won’t help. The sweetener will not make your crackers sweet. It just balances the savory a bit and makes it more like a regular plain cracker. I also sprinkle a little sea salt on the egg wash, which my husband loves. Finally, I do not use the racks any more: I roll them as thinly as I can on parchment paper and bake them according to instructions for 7 min each cycle (see the recipe). They will be a little browned but the middle crackers still may not be crispy. I them put them in my dehydrator for several hours, which make them perfect. They will not need crisping again if you do that and keep them in a bag or airtight container. Again, I am so grateful for this recipe. Anyone would enjoy these crackers, keto or not, and they’ve really filled a big gap in our pantry-with almost no carbs!
So glad your husband like these. The recipe as you can see is very customizable. I don't yet have a dehydrator but it's on my wish list. I hope you get to try some of our breads or pasta recipes. They certainly help us to maintain our low carb lifestyle. Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese
Thanks for the tip. We'll have to try that next time. Hope you get a chance to make the crackers. Let us know how they turn out for you. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
💙. Can’t wait to try these. Just need to get 2 ingredients that I’m out on! My husband is a real cracker and cheese guy! Thank you so much for the recipe!!
Welcome to our channel. Let us know how you like the crackers. They have been a game changer for that crunchy cracker we missed, but not anymore. They will stay crisp for weeks on the counter in an air tight container as long as you store when completely cooled. Thanks for the compliment on our pottery bowl.We have several from this artist. You can check out what Gary has to offer at FireWhenReadyPottery.com Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese
We hope you get to try them. With the carb count being so low for a cracker it could be a game changer for you. We know it is for us. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
We've used other types of cheese etc..Asiago powder instead of the cheddar powder. Also just the plain Butter powder with Dill. Even used Turmeric. You can really season any way you like as long as you don't add any additional salt. We did a taco version with our own seasoning. We tried Everything but the Bagel but it was a salt bomb. If you can find pork rinds without any salt then you'll have a better chance on not having them turn out too salty. Others in our comments have used Flax instead of the hemp seeds with good results. Flax has a bit of a bitter taste if you bake it too long. It can burn easily. We tried to turn this into a sweet cracker but it was a total fail. We'll eventually revisit this recipe. We can only make so many fails before we completely give up. Let us know what you try. Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese
Awesome! Just overwhelmed by all of the Indigo Love being sent our way. We certainly hope you enjoy our videos as well. Happy Baking! Karen and Therese
You are absolutely correct! We're so glad to have that crunchy flakey cracker back into our lifestyle without all of those pesky carbs. Thanks for the Indigo love and checking out our channel. let us know how they come out for you. Happy Baking! Karen and Therese
Yes. This cracker recipe is certainly a game changer for us. So glad to have the crunch back into our lifestyle. Our non Keto followers enjoyed these as well. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Hi there and thanks again for watching! We just know you're going to enjoy these crackers. You can use them for your next holiday spread. They continued to be a hit with our taste testers and other family and friends that aren't currently on a low carb or ketogenic lifestyle. Feel free to change up with spices but nothing with added salt. These crackers have the perfect amount of salt because of the parmesan cheese and pork rinds. Please let use know what you try and how they turn out for you. We just love to use these for a quick work lunch with a dollop of egg or tuna salad. Thanks again, Karen and Therese
Awesome! So glad that you love them. We're certainly glad to have a low carb cracker back into our lifestyle too. We appreciate you popping over to our channel to check out what we have to offer. Hope you enjoy our videos. Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese
Going to try this with a couple modifications. ⚠️ People should be made aware that hemp seed is high oxalate. ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ I ran into oxalate toxicity after my first couple of years on keto (I'm at 5 years now) from too much spinach, almonds, etc. It has taken me 3 years of very careful lowering oxalate intake to just BEGIN to feel better. Oxalates can build up over time within the body and settle into various parts of the body... joints, skin, digestive tract, kidneys, bladder, etc.
Thanks so much for your information. You certainly can use less of the hemp seeds per recipe maybe use more of the crushed pork rinds. We also try to limit the use of almond flour in our recipes for the same reason. Please get back to use with the substitutions you try. We have to stick together and come up with the best results for our lifestyle. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
@lowcarbspin I made these!! Fantastic!!! Thank you so much for your creativity 🙏 ❤️ I ended up using lightly crushed pumpkin seeds instead of the hemp ... worked beautifully 😍 And, in lieu of cheddar powder, I had cream cheese powder... yum! And, since I didn't have acacia, I used same amount of psyllium. I would imagine that ground flaxseed would work well too and probably a little easier on the gut...which I am babying these days.
Hi there and many thanks for the Indigo love. Welcome! So glad you decided to pop over and check out what our channel has to offer. Let us know how the crackers come out for you. They are definitely a crunchy game changer for us.Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese
After first watching Indigo Nili make these I came here and I loved your presentation. I can't wait to try these. I do miss having a good gluten free cracker that doesn't have all the high carb ingredients. Thank you so much!!
Welcome! Thanks for checking us out and we certainly appreciate all of your kind words. We're so happy to have a crunchy cracker back into our lifestyle that isn't a high carb deal breaker too. Can't wait for you to try them. Please let us know. Happy baking! Karen and Therese

Welcome to our channel! Of course we think that the recipe is the best as written but other subscribers made some substitutions of ingredients to fit their lifestyle with positive results. Read some of the comments for additional ideas. If you follow our channel we use ingredients over and over so that you won't be purchasing ingredients for just a one time recipe. We usually always try RUclipsrs recipes first then decide if we can change out ingredients. Thanks for the Indigo love and popping over to check out our channel. Thanks for watching!

Are you not able to purchase hemp seeds in your area? Currently we do not have a replacement for the hemp. However you might be able to use almond flour or some combo of almond/coconut flour. We're tried several combinations of ingredients which fell flat. The crackers were too dry and lacked that cracker crunch. We chose the hemp hearts because of their nutty flavor and they are filled with healthy fats. They're also considered a complete protein source which means that they provide all of the essential amino acids that we need in our diet. They contain a better omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. They also contain about double the amount of protein than flax or chia. You can try to replace the hemp seeds with flax or chia. It will be your own science experiment. We hope you find something that will work for you. Let us know what you try. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
I too have to avoid anything “hemp” because it will cause positive drug test. I work where drug testing can occur at any moment. Would be a bummer to be busted for crackers!
One comment from @kayewatson6168 said she used flax in place of the hemp and 1 TBS gelatin instead of the pork rinds. She was pleased with the results. Let us know what you try. We know about being careful when using poppyseeds but were unaware of the hemp hearts causing any issues because we're only using the seed not the hull. Thanks for pointing that out. Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese
Us too! What a surprise. Thanks for showing your Indigo love and checking out our channel. She really has the greatest sous chef! Let us know what you try. Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese

Hi Ladies! I made the crackers yesterday and they are the best keto friendly crackers I’ve had. Somehow when I mixed the dry ingredients I completely left out the collagen. They came out fine. So my question is, what effect does the collagen have on their flavor or texture? I will put it in next time but was wondering. 🤤
Hi there! We're just thrilled that you enjoyed our cracker recipe. Also glad that they turned out for you despite not using the collagen . The collagen is used to keep the crackers together as a binder so they won't be so crumbly and also to keep them light and airy at the same time so you get that light crunchy mouth feel. That's why it's in the recipe. The recipe is very forgiving and many subscribers have made substitutions using ours as a base with positive results. We encourage you to read what others have tried. The best part is that together we're getting a good cracker back!!! Yeah!! Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
We used the acacia fiber to help give the cracker a more dough like mouth feel without having a dry choke taste. However you can try oat fiber or maybe even coconut flour to see if the results aren't too dry for you. Please let us know if that works for you. We understand about the cost of purchasing yet another ingredient but if you follow our channel we use the acacia in several recipes. It really makes a big difference in the end result. Interested to hear what you try. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Haven't tried working with the bamboo fiber yet. One of the comments that came from @kayewatson8168 said she used flax and 1 TBS gelatin instead of the pork rinds. She was happy with the results. Let us know what you try. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Welcome to our channel. You're just going to have to give this cracker recipe a try. After all Charity gave it a 9 out of 10. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
💙Hi, I'm new to your channel. Watched Indigo make your recipe with her daughter plus the one she slightly modified for her personal dairy free version. I'm glad she directed her audience to you & your channel. I like your content. Quick question on this recipe... Is the Acacia Fiber a must or can it be omitted or substitute for something else like psyllium powder? THANK YOU for this video I'll be watching more of your content now!
Yes , you can omit the acacia fiber if you don't have it and use oat fiber however the mouthfeel will be different than our original recipe. Check out the comments left from our subscribers because everyone has shared their substitutions and the results. Please do the same for others. It also helps us when creating new recipes. The acacia fiber gives the cracker a doughy melt in your mouth feel and keeps the dryness away all while keeping the cracker crunchy. We know it's another ingredient to purchase but if you follow our channel we use all of the ingredients in several recipes so it's not going to be for only one recipe. We use it in our bread recipes too. Be sure to click on the bell notifications so you don't miss our next video. We're sisters & we don't live in the same town so we don't have a schedule for posting new content. Thanks so much for checking out our channel. Karen and Therese
@@lowcarbspin Thank you so much for your prompt reply & valuable information. I can't wait to try this recipe out. And many more of your recipes. I'm so glad I learned about you & your channel from Nili. I will click all the buttons. Thanks again.... I was wondering if you're were sisters. So cool.
Thanks so much for the Indigo love and hopping over to check out our channel. Thanks for being a new subscriber too! We certainly hope you find some recipes you just gotta try. Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese
We both love crackers way too much so we had to come up with a low carb option. We hope you enjoy this recipe and please let us know what you think. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Welcome! Thanks so much for popping over to check out our channel. We appreciate all of the Indigo love being sent our way. Hope you get to try out some of our recipes real soon. Please let us know. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Welcome to our channel. We appreciate all of the Indigo love. We certainly hope you try the cracker recipe. It's a keeper for sure. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
We haven't tried the recipe with bamboo fiber. You can substitute with oat fiber if you have that. The bamboo fiber might make them too dry. This recipe is very forgiving so it might work for you. Please let us know. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Hello! New subscriber after I saw Indigo Nili make and recommend these. They look wonderful! QUESTION: I do not have acacia fiber. Is there anything else you might suggest as a substitute?
Hi there and welcome to our channel. You can substitute the acacia with oat fiber. In the comments from our subscribers they used the oat fiber and had great results. There's always plenty of great substitutions in the comments. It's so much fun to see what others come up with to fit their dietary lifestyle. Let us know what you end up trying. Happy baking! Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Im wondering if the collagen is necessary in these crackers. I just don't have it, but could certainly wait to try these until after I've picked some up, if its a must. Thank you 💙
Hi, thanks for popping over to check out our channel. You can leave out the collagen in this recipe. The crackers might be a bit crumbly. But they will work. The collagen acts as a binder. Hope that helps. Other subscribers have listed what they used for substitutions for their dietary needs with great success using our base recipe. You might get other ideas if you read the comments. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Can't wait for you to try these. We're enjoying all of the Indigo love being sent our way. Let us know what you think. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
This is just a suggestion because we haven't tried this. You could use Chicken or Beef Flour in place of the Acacia Fiber and just use more crushed pork rinds and parmesan cheese in place of the hemp seeds. If you read through the comments section other subscribers have made successful substitutions for the hemp seeds. We always read the comments before trying recipes because you sometimes find great info that might fit your dietary needs better than the sticking to the original recipe. Especially if subscribers actually make the recipe. Most will come back and share if they're successful. Please let us know what you come up with. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Welcome to our channel and thanks for subscribing! Hope you enjoy our recipes too. So much fun to see all of the Indigo Hearts coming our way. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Welcome to our channel! The answer that you're looking for is..Yes you can omit the collagen from this recipe and it will still work. Other subscribers have made them successfully without it. It does act as a binder and that's why we included it. We appreciate all questions because if we don't have an answer our subscribers will chime in with their substitutions. Let us know how they turn out for you. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
I made these and the taste is great, they were awesome fresh made but…. They turned soft and stale-like the next day. How do you keep the crunch on the leftovers??
The crackers have to be stored in an airtight container. They also have to be completely cooled off before storing. We haven't had that happen. All we can suggest is you most likely can crisp them up by popping them back into the oven or air fryer. I know that isn't the solution you were hoping for but for now that's all we have. It could be that your elevation or climate where you live might affect the moisture level. You're the first to make a comment with this problem. Let's hope it was a one time fluke. We certainly hope you try them again. Let us know. Thanks, Karen and Therese
We put the crackers rolled out on the parchment paper and placed that on a cookie rack which we placed onto a cookie sheet. Really for ventilation so the parchment paper wouldn't hold moisture. You can just place the cookie rack directly onto your oven shelf rack but we felt it was a little dangerous when lifting out of the oven and would be safer to show in a video. Let us know what you try. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Is it okay to leave out the hemp seeds? I can’t think of a reason that the recipe needs it other than texture. Can these be made in advance & if so, what are your recommendations for storage?
If you make our crackers using our recipe then the answer it yes to being made in advance. Just be sure that they are completely cooled before storing in an airtight container. They should be fine for about a week. We don't no if they would last longer because everyone has been eating them like crazy. We chose the hemp seeds because of texture and their nutty flavor. They also have a good omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. They also provide all of the essential amino acids that we need in our diet. We don't like to use almond flour because of the oxalates and we didn't care for the flavor of the flax or chia. We have no idea what would happen if you left out the hemp. Let us know what you end up trying. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
We are so thrilled that you like these. Yes they are super easy to make too. We also give this recipe a 10 Yummy! Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese
Welcome! We hope you get to try these and also check out some of our other videos. Indigo is lucky to have such an awesome sous chef! Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
These crackers will be fine on the counter in an airtight container for about 4-5 days unless you live in a very humid environment. They might even last longer but we don't really know because the our family goes through them pretty quickly. Do not put these in the fridge because they will loose their crunch for sure. You can always put them back into the oven to crisp up again. Please let us know how they turn out for you. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Easier way?? I wonder if taking the parchment paper from under the crackers using the longest side - would be less to actually try to keep on the rack. You had such a long area to remove - the other way would be shorter.
💙 Saw this on Indigo Nili's site and would like to try, but absolutely detest mustard (except for the tiniest amount in powdered form where I can't detect it). Is the mustard for flavor or texture or ?? Thanks.
Thanks for your comment. You absolutely do not need to use the mustard. They will turn out just as delicious without. Can't wait for you to try them. Please let us know how they turn out for you. I'm sure that you're not the only mustard hater out there! Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese
Is there a way to print your recipe as noted? I tried to highlite it to print, but it would not let me. I really don’t want to hand copy as it is a little long. Any ideas?
We haven't tried the bamboo fiber but sure it would work or oat fiber. Please read through the subscribers comments because many have used substitutes and had great success using our base as the recipe. Not sure if the bamboo would make the crackers more dry or change the taste. It's certainly worth trying. This recipe doesn't seem to be too fuzzy with sticking to the exact ingredients. Please come back and share your results. After all, aren't we all just searching for the ultimate best crunchy cracker. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
You can try gelatin in place of the collagen maybe only use 2 teaspoon of the gelatin and as for the avocado oil that should be fine. Although we haven't tried that yet. Please read some of the other subscribers comments because they made substitutions and each had successful results. Please get back to us with what you try, It really helps all of us. After all we're all just looking for the very best of crackers. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
What are you missing? Maybe we can figure out some substitutions for you. Also yesterday @alldayidreamaboutfood posted an almond flour cracker recipe that looked good. "Crispity Crunchity Keto Cracker" More carbs but they looked yummy and might work for you. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese

We would add about 1/4 cup grated cheddar or you can add more of the parmesan cheese. Let us know how these turn out for you. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Is acacia fiber equivalent to oat fiber? Can flax seeds be used instead of hemp seeds? I don't really want to buy more ingredients when I have others in bulk already. These sound really good and I'd love to have good low carb crackers! Many Blessings from Deborah in West Virginia!
Hi Deborah. You can replace the hemp seeds with flax meal. It will change the flavor and you'll have to watch them closer in the oven because flax tends to acquire a burnt taste if over baked. One of our subscribers (@kayewatson8168) had good results doing using flax meal and also she also replaced the pork rinds with 1 TBS gelatin. As for the Acacia vs the Oat fiber. You can try it but only use half as much oat fiber. Acacia fiber is very light and we feel it gives a light airy feel to the crackers. I'm afraid that the oat fiber will make them have a very dry mouth feel. We tried coconut flour and that's what happened. We totally understand about purchasing yet another ingredient. But if you follow our channel we use the same ingredients over and over so the Acacia wouldn't be for just a one time recipe. It's great in our "Less ingredient Wonder Bun" video. It's our favorite bread/bun substitute for our low carb lifestyle. Let us know what you try with the cracker substitutions. Thanks for Watching! Karen and Therese
Also @critter4004 ended up using the same amount of psyllium in place of the acacia fiber. They also used crushed pumpkin seeds instead of the hemp. We always read the comments on videos because everyone always has good ideas for substitutions in order to fit their dietary needs. It also saves on wasting ingredients if they let you know what definitely doesn't work. Thanks again
@@lowcarbspin thank you so much for your detailed answers! I'm new to your channel and always looking for new recipes. We've regressed a little too much the past few months after having been keto for 3 years. I don't buy all the prepackaged "keto" products out there. I will make note of these variation options and test a batch, watching them closely. I will also start watching some of your other videos and catch up on other good recipes. Many Blessings from Deborah in West Virginia!
Usually we use Judee's brand but we ran out and used King Arthur Better Cheddar Cheese powder. You can also use graded fresh Cheddar cheese. We've also used Asiago Powder. In the comments a subscriber used cream cheese powder and loved the results. We're thinking the base dough is rather forgiving. Let us know what you end up trying. Thanks for watching!

1- 1/2 Tablespoons or (9 grams) Cheddar Powder or you can substitute with (6 grams) of Butter Powder
Thoroughly combine all of the dry ingredients into a medium size mixing bowl.
Wet Ingredients-
2 Tablespoons of melted Butter that's cooled
1 Tablespoon Sour Cream or you can substitute with greek yogurt or even Whipping Cream
1 Heaping Teaspoon of Dijon Mustard
1 Whole Egg
Whisk together until well blended and creamy.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until all ingredients combine together to form a dough as shown in the video.
Pre-Heat Oven to 375
Place dough onto a lightly greased sheet of parchment paper pre cut to the size of your silicone mat. Ours measured (9-1/2x14-1/2) Spread out the dough mixture with a spatula to form the rectangle shape of your mat. Cover
with another lightly greased sheet of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin and roll out dough to fit mat edges. Flip over if necessary to remove any creases
and continue to roll until smooth. Remove top piece of parchment paper and place your rolled out dough onto a cookie cooling rack. Place the rack onto a cookie sheet use a silicone mat under the cookie rack to avoid the rack from sliding while placing into the oven. Bake for 7 minutes.
(Whisk one egg white until frothy and set aside until ready to use)
Remove from oven and carefully slide the parchment paper onto a safe cutting surface. Apply a frothy egg white only wash over the tops of your crackers with a pastry brush. Grease your pizza cutter or knife and score your crackers. We made 8 rows across and 6 rows lengthwise. Making a total of 48 evenly sized crackers. Place cracker sheet back onto the cookie rack and return to oven for and additional 7-10 minutes. Remove from oven and slide crackers off the parchment paper to cool completely. Cooling on the parchment paper could cause moisture to build on bottom of parchment that can cause crackers to lose the crunchy texture. The crackers will continue to crisp up as they cool. Since everyone's oven cooks a little different you might have to pop them back into the oven to crisp. Sometimes you have to remove the outer crackers first if the center ones haven't crisped up to your liking. Just watch them so they don't burn. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Wow! Indigo Nili made your crackers today and both she and Charity loved them! Hope you get lots of new subscribers from the exposure on her video! You deserve it! ❤️🥰❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words. We were shocked when her video popped up in our notifications. It was so much fun to watch her make our recipe with her adorable sous chef Charity. So glad she gave us a 9 out of 10. Totally made our day for sure. Thanks again Judy and Happy New Year! Karen and Therese
@@lowcarbspinSo glad that I saw your recipe on Indigo Nili. I like to always like to see how the recipe creator makes the same recipe. I am impressed with you two ladies and I have subscribed. I look forward to checking out your other videos and recipes.❤️❤️
She did a new one today with a bunch of changes for her diet!
So nice to see that Indigo used our base recipe and adapted for her dairy free lifestyle.
That’s how I found you!
Great to find this recipe as it will be a great addition to a get together since I do keto and don't eat grains. I also think that most non-keto people would enjoy this and never realize it wasn't what they normally eat. Indigo Nili had this recipe on her channel today and sent us over here to get the ingredients and give you a shout out. I plan on making these when I get home. 💙
We were so surprised when her video showed up in our notifications. We love her channel. Thanks for coming over and checking us out. Please let us know how they turn out for you. Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese
I’m excited to try these!
A good cooking spray tip is to put your pan or a sheet pan with the parchment on it on the open door of our dishwasher. Then, just spray and the overspray gets washed away!
Thanks for the tip. Let us know what you think after trying these. Happy baking! Karen and Therese
I used flax meal because I didn’t have any hemp hearts and I don’t eat pork so used 1 tablespoon of gelatine and they were delicious.
Thank you for a great base recipe
Greetings from Melbourne Australia
Wow! We appreciate you sharing your substitutes. That will definitely help out others with the same issues or dietary restrictions. We're so glad that our recipe as a base turned out for you. We'll have to try it. Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese
Came to the comments to wonder if flax might work. So happy to see this comment!
Yes we were excited that she shared what substitutions worked for her lifestyle. We're planning on trying it too. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
This is great news because hemp seeds are high oxalate but flax are low!! ❤
You replaced the 30g of pork rinds with 1 tablespoon of gelatin?
*A great way to enjoy a savory treat without compromising on the keto lifestyle.*
We agree 100%. Please let us know what you think once you get the chance to make them. We would love to know what combos everyone comes up with. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
I watched your video a while ago and forgot why i bought the hemp hearts! Indigo Nili just reminded me 💙
Thanks for coming back to our channel. Definitely give them a try. After all Charity gave them a 9 out of a 10. Let us know what you try. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
I made this recipe today and let me tell you - these crackers checked every box for me!! 😋 Thank you so much for creating this amazing recipe!!
We're so glad that you're enjoying these as much as we do.Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
AHHHHHMAZING…never would have known these were low carb!!!!
You're so sweet! So glad you like them.Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Thanks so much for this recipe! You have made my husband a very happy man. He enjoys the main version you have here, but I have been experimenting with a less savory version, so I made it by substituting the butter powder for the cheddar powder and omitting the onion powder. They are very, very good. (I wish I had thought to leave the mustard out of the wet ingredients. I’m going to try just upping the sour cream a bit and I think they will be perfect.) They are almost like free food-so light and crunchy. The downside is I’m going to have to make them constantly! (My husband lived on crackers before keto.) I also sprinkle a bit of sea salt after the egg wash. It’s a nice little touch. I think I like them better than flour-based crackers. (It was amusing to me that I had every single ingredient already, except the acacia fiber. I’m developing a regular old keto kitchen “lab.” One key thing I do that really makes a difference for those who are interested: After I pull these out of the oven on the final stage, I put them in my dehydrator overnight (10 hours on mine at 158 degrees.). Perfection, even if they are a little too thick (which is a challenge).
Update: In experimenting more with my “plain version,” I have landed finally on this combination: I exchange the cheddar powder for butter powder as described in the recipe, I omit the onion powder and the mustard, and I add 1 tsp of Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener (a combination of erythritol and Monkfruit). Please don’t use allulose or Bochasweet if you want a crispy cracker. Those sweeteners won’t help. The sweetener will not make your crackers sweet. It just balances the savory a bit and makes it more like a regular plain cracker. I also sprinkle a little sea salt on the egg wash, which my husband loves.
Finally, I do not use the racks any more: I roll them as thinly as I can on parchment paper and bake them according to instructions for 7 min each cycle (see the recipe). They will be a little browned but the middle crackers still may not be crispy. I them put them in my dehydrator for several hours, which make them perfect. They will not need crisping again if you do that and keep them in a bag or airtight container. Again, I am so grateful for this recipe. Anyone would enjoy these crackers, keto or not, and they’ve really filled a big gap in our pantry-with almost no carbs!
So glad your husband like these. The recipe as you can see is very customizable. I don't yet have a dehydrator but it's on my wish list. I hope you get to try some of our breads or pasta recipes. They certainly help us to maintain our low carb lifestyle. Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese
What are the odds that I have every single ingredient on hand. That's a first!
Please let us know what you think of this recipe and if you try any other flavor variations. Thanks again watching! Karen and Therese
😂
Me too! Definitely making these!
definitely let us know how these turn out for you. Thanks again . Karen and Therese
I do too😂
Thank you. This cracker looks yummy and so easy. Appreciate the tips on oiling a pan and the parchment paper trick.
They are very easy to make and well worth it. Let us know what you try. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Just another tip on that parchment paper. Turn it opposite the curl!😊
Thanks for the tip. We'll have to try that next time. Hope you get a chance to make the crackers. Let us know how they turn out for you. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Another tip is to crumple the parchment and then smooth it out and it will stay put.
💙. Can’t wait to try these. Just need to get 2 ingredients that I’m out on! My husband is a real cracker and cheese guy! Thank you so much for the recipe!!
Welcome and thanks for all of the Indigo love. Let us know how these come out for you. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Gonna try this recipe tomorrow thank you so much for your efforts!! Nili also sent me!! 💚 Love your bowl so cute!
Welcome to our channel. Let us know how you like the crackers. They have been a game changer for that crunchy cracker we missed, but not anymore. They will stay crisp for weeks on the counter in an air tight container as long as you store when completely cooled. Thanks for the compliment on our pottery bowl.We have several from this artist. You can check out what Gary has to offer at FireWhenReadyPottery.com Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese
🙋♀️💙 They look very delicious... can't wait to make them!
Yes these crackers have been a huge hit even for our non low carb friends. Let us know what you think. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Saw these on Indigo Nili's site. Had to come over and get your recipe and give them a try. Thank you so much for sharing! 💙
Thanks so much for jumping over to check out our channel. Hope you find a recipe that you just gotta try. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
💜💜 straight from Indigo Nili, looks yummy and crunchy 😋😋😋👍👍👍!
Thanks for the recipe and cold but sunny greetings from Germany,
Ela 🤗
Thanks for the Indigo love and jumping over to check out our channel. Hope you get to try these. Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese
I can't wait to try this recipe.
We hope you get to try them. With the carb count being so low for a cracker it could be a game changer for you. We know it is for us. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
I would love to hear about the other ways in which you flavor this cracker. Thank you for sharing your hints with us.❤️❤️
We've used other types of cheese etc..Asiago powder instead of the cheddar powder. Also just the plain Butter powder with Dill. Even used Turmeric. You can really season any way you like as long as you don't add any additional salt. We did a taco version with our own seasoning. We tried Everything but the Bagel but it was a salt bomb. If you can find pork rinds without any salt then you'll have a better chance on not having them turn out too salty. Others in our comments have used Flax instead of the hemp seeds with good results. Flax has a bit of a bitter taste if you bake it too long. It can burn easily. We tried to turn this into a sweet cracker but it was a total fail. We'll eventually revisit this recipe. We can only make so many fails before we completely give up. Let us know what you try. Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese
💙💙💙 Indigo Nili sent me!! Those look yummy!!
Awesome! Just overwhelmed by all of the Indigo Love being sent our way. We certainly hope you enjoy our videos as well. Happy Baking! Karen and Therese
A good crispy keto crispy cracker is the holy grail of low carb eating. I am looking forward to trying these out. Thanks! 💙
You are absolutely correct! We're so glad to have that crunchy flakey cracker back into our lifestyle without all of those pesky carbs. Thanks for the Indigo love and checking out our channel. let us know how they come out for you. Happy Baking! Karen and Therese
Excellent video, beautiful autumn leaves
So nice of you! Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
I blinked and these were gone.My non Keto eaters devoured these!
Yes. This cracker recipe is certainly a game changer for us. So glad to have the crunch back into our lifestyle. Our non Keto followers enjoyed these as well. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
I'll be trying this recipe for sure. I have all the ingredients, and I'm always looking for a good cracker recipe. Thanks! ❤️🥰❤️
Hi there and thanks again for watching! We just know you're going to enjoy these crackers. You can use them for your next holiday spread. They continued to be a hit with our taste testers and other family and friends that aren't currently on a low carb or ketogenic lifestyle. Feel free to change up with spices but nothing with added salt. These crackers have the perfect amount of salt because of the parmesan cheese and pork rinds. Please let use know what you try and how they turn out for you. We just love to use these for a quick work lunch with a dollop of egg or tuna salad. Thanks again, Karen and Therese
Best Keto Crackers I've made so far... thanks to Indigo Nili for sending us over here.

Thank you for subscribing! This cracker recipe will be a keeper for sure. Let us know what you think. Welcome to our channel! Karen and Therese
Going to try this with a couple modifications. ⚠️
People should be made aware that hemp seed is high oxalate. ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️
I ran into oxalate toxicity after my first couple of years on keto (I'm at 5 years now) from too much spinach, almonds, etc. It has taken me 3 years of very careful lowering oxalate intake to just BEGIN to feel better.
Oxalates can build up over time within the body and settle into various parts of the body... joints, skin, digestive tract, kidneys, bladder, etc.
Thanks so much for your information. You certainly can use less of the hemp seeds per recipe maybe use more of the crushed pork rinds. We also try to limit the use of almond flour in our recipes for the same reason. Please get back to use with the substitutions you try. We have to stick together and come up with the best results for our lifestyle. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
@lowcarbspin
I made these!! Fantastic!!! Thank you so much for your creativity 🙏 ❤️
I ended up using lightly crushed pumpkin seeds instead of the hemp ... worked beautifully 😍
And, in lieu of cheddar powder, I had cream cheese powder... yum!
And, since I didn't have acacia, I used same amount of psyllium. I would imagine that ground flaxseed would work well too and probably a little easier on the gut...which I am babying these days.
Yes it is, so I’m going to be subbing with ground pumpkin seeds which are very low oxalate.
So excited you found our channel. Please let us know how the cracker making goes for you. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Looking forward to making these! I love my “cracker crunch” thanks Nilli for sending me here💙

Read some of the comments for additional ideas. If you follow our channel we use ingredients over and over so that you won't be purchasing ingredients for just a one time recipe. We usually always try RUclipsrs recipes first then decide if we can change out ingredients. Thanks for the Indigo love and popping over to check out our channel. Thanks for watching!

These look wonderful! Is there a replacement for hemp? Thank you so much❤.
Are you not able to purchase hemp seeds in your area? Currently we do not have a replacement for the hemp. However you might be able to use almond flour or some combo of almond/coconut flour. We're tried several combinations of ingredients which fell flat. The crackers were too dry and lacked that cracker crunch. We chose the hemp hearts because of their nutty flavor and they are filled with healthy fats. They're also considered a complete protein source which means that they provide all of the essential amino acids that we need in our diet. They contain a better omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. They also contain about double the amount of protein than flax or chia. You can try to replace the hemp seeds with flax or chia. It will be your own science experiment. We hope you find something that will work for you. Let us know what you try. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
I too have to avoid anything “hemp” because it will cause positive drug test. I work where drug testing can occur at any moment. Would be a bummer to be busted for crackers!
One comment from @kayewatson6168 said she used flax in place of the hemp and 1 TBS gelatin instead of the pork rinds. She was pleased with the results. Let us know what you try. We know about being careful when using poppyseeds but were unaware of the hemp hearts causing any issues because we're only using the seed not the hull. Thanks for pointing that out. Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese

Hi Ladies! I made the crackers yesterday and they are the best keto friendly crackers I’ve had. Somehow when I mixed the dry ingredients I completely left out the collagen. They came out fine. So my question is, what effect does the collagen have on their flavor or texture? I will put it in next time but was wondering. 🤤
Hi there! We're just thrilled that you enjoyed our cracker recipe. Also glad that they turned out for you despite not using the collagen . The collagen is used to keep the crackers together as a binder so they won't be so crumbly and also to keep them light and airy at the same time so you get that light crunchy mouth feel. That's why it's in the recipe. The recipe is very forgiving and many subscribers have made substitutions using ours as a base with positive results. We encourage you to read what others have tried. The best part is that together we're getting a good cracker back!!! Yeah!! Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Thank you💙
Loving all of this Indigo love. Thanks for checking out our channel. Karen and Therese
Looks delicious
Thanks for watching! We certainly hope you get a chance to try these. Karen and Therese
Is there a different fiber, other than acacia fiber that can work? (I know, the recipe you gave works best!). Thanks for a yummy looking recipe
We used the acacia fiber to help give the cracker a more dough like mouth feel without having a dry choke taste. However you can try oat fiber or maybe even coconut flour to see if the results aren't too dry for you. Please let us know if that works for you. We understand about the cost of purchasing yet another ingredient but if you follow our channel we use the acacia in several recipes. It really makes a big difference in the end result. Interested to hear what you try. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
I’ve heard from a keto bread baker on RUclips that psyllium husk or bamboo fiber can be substituted for acacia or oat fiber, same measurement.
@@janetk8285Bamboo fiber tastes awful. Just a heads up!
Haven't tried working with the bamboo fiber yet. One of the comments that came from @kayewatson8168 said she used flax and 1 TBS gelatin instead of the pork rinds. She was happy with the results. Let us know what you try. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Love this 💙
Welcome to our channel. You're just going to have to give this cracker recipe a try. After all Charity gave it a 9 out of 10. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese

💙Hi, I'm new to your channel. Watched Indigo make your recipe with her daughter plus the one she slightly modified for her personal dairy free version. I'm glad she directed her audience to you & your channel. I like your content. Quick question on this recipe...
Is the Acacia Fiber a must or can it be omitted or substitute for something else like psyllium powder? THANK YOU for this video I'll be watching more of your content now!
Yes , you can omit the acacia fiber if you don't have it and use oat fiber however the mouthfeel will be different than our original recipe. Check out the comments left from our subscribers because everyone has shared their substitutions and the results. Please do the same for others. It also helps us when creating new recipes. The acacia fiber gives the cracker a doughy melt in your mouth feel and keeps the dryness away all while keeping the cracker crunchy. We know it's another ingredient to purchase but if you follow our channel we use all of the ingredients in several recipes so it's not going to be for only one recipe. We use it in our bread recipes too. Be sure to click on the bell notifications so you don't miss our next video. We're sisters & we don't live in the same town so we don't have a schedule for posting new content. Thanks so much for checking out our channel. Karen and Therese
@@lowcarbspin Thank you so much for your prompt reply & valuable information. I can't wait to try this recipe out. And many more of your recipes. I'm so glad I learned about you & your channel from Nili. I will click all the buttons. Thanks again.... I was wondering if you're were sisters. So cool.

Welcome to our channel. We appreciate all of the Indigo love. We certainly hope you try the cracker recipe. It's a keeper for sure. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
These look great! Do you think I could substitute the Acacia fiber with bamboo fiber?
We haven't tried the recipe with bamboo fiber. You can substitute with oat fiber if you have that. The bamboo fiber might make them too dry. This recipe is very forgiving so it might work for you. Please let us know. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Hello! New subscriber after I saw Indigo Nili make and recommend these. They look wonderful! QUESTION: I do not have acacia fiber. Is there anything else you might suggest as a substitute?
Hi there and welcome to our channel. You can substitute the acacia with oat fiber. In the comments from our subscribers they used the oat fiber and had great results. There's always plenty of great substitutions in the comments. It's so much fun to see what others come up with to fit their dietary lifestyle. Let us know what you end up trying. Happy baking! Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Im wondering if the collagen is necessary in these crackers. I just don't have it, but could certainly wait to try these until after I've picked some up, if its a must. Thank you 💙
Hi, thanks for popping over to check out our channel. You can leave out the collagen in this recipe. The crackers might be a bit crumbly. But they will work. The collagen acts as a binder. Hope that helps. Other subscribers have listed what they used for substitutions for their dietary needs with great success using our base recipe. You might get other ideas if you read the comments. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese

TO MAKE THESE MORE CARNIVORE IF POSSIBLE WHAT CAN BE USED TO SUBSTITUTE FOR THE HEMP SEEDS AND ACACIA FIBER
This is just a suggestion because we haven't tried this. You could use Chicken or Beef Flour in place of the Acacia Fiber and just use more crushed pork rinds and parmesan cheese in place of the hemp seeds. If you read through the comments section other subscribers have made successful substitutions for the hemp seeds. We always read the comments before trying recipes because you sometimes find great info that might fit your dietary needs better than the sticking to the original recipe. Especially if subscribers actually make the recipe. Most will come back and share if they're successful. Please let us know what you come up with. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese

New to the channel! I was wondering if i can sub out the collagen for something or leave it out?
Welcome to our channel! The answer that you're looking for is..Yes you can omit the collagen from this recipe and it will still work. Other subscribers have made them successfully without it. It does act as a binder and that's why we included it. We appreciate all questions because if we don't have an answer our subscribers will chime in with their substitutions. Let us know how they turn out for you. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
I made these and the taste is great, they were awesome fresh made but…. They turned soft and stale-like the next day. How do you keep the crunch on the leftovers??
The crackers have to be stored in an airtight container. They also have to be completely cooled off before storing. We haven't had that happen. All we can suggest is you most likely can crisp them up by popping them back into the oven or air fryer. I know that isn't the solution you were hoping for but for now that's all we have. It could be that your elevation or climate where you live might affect the moisture level. You're the first to make a comment with this problem. Let's hope it was a one time fluke. We certainly hope you try them again. Let us know. Thanks, Karen and Therese
Are you baking them on a wire rack without a baking sheet???
We put the crackers rolled out on the parchment paper and placed that on a cookie rack which we placed onto a cookie sheet. Really for ventilation so the parchment paper wouldn't hold moisture. You can just place the cookie rack directly onto your oven shelf rack but we felt it was a little dangerous when lifting out of the oven and would be safer to show in a video. Let us know what you try. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Is it okay to leave out the hemp seeds? I can’t think of a reason that the recipe needs it other than texture. Can these be made in advance & if so, what are your recommendations for storage?
If you make our crackers using our recipe then the answer it yes to being made in advance. Just be sure that they are completely cooled before storing in an airtight container. They should be fine for about a week. We don't no if they would last longer because everyone has been eating them like crazy. We chose the hemp seeds because of texture and their nutty flavor. They also have a good omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. They also provide all of the essential amino acids that we need in our diet. We don't like to use almond flour because of the oxalates and we didn't care for the flavor of the flax or chia. We have no idea what would happen if you left out the hemp. Let us know what you end up trying. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese

Can regular protein powder be used and not the whey isolate?
Yes you can use regular unflavored whey protein and not the isolate. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese

Welcome and thanks for checking out our channel. Happy baking! Karen and Therese
How long do they keep in fridge or counter
These crackers will be fine on the counter in an airtight container for about 4-5 days unless you live in a very humid environment. They might even last longer but we don't really know because the our family goes through them pretty quickly. Do not put these in the fridge because they will loose their crunch for sure. You can always put them back into the oven to crisp up again. Please let us know how they turn out for you. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Easier way?? I wonder if taking the parchment paper from under the crackers using the longest side - would be less to actually try to keep on the rack. You had such a long area to remove - the other way would be shorter.
Thanks for the tip. Karen and Therese
💙 Saw this on Indigo Nili's site and would like to try, but absolutely detest mustard (except for the tiniest amount in powdered form where I can't detect it). Is the mustard for flavor or texture or ?? Thanks.
Thanks for your comment. You absolutely do not need to use the mustard. They will turn out just as delicious without. Can't wait for you to try them. Please let us know how they turn out for you. I'm sure that you're not the only mustard hater out there! Thanks again for watching! Karen and Therese
@@lowcarbspin Thanks for your quick reply! I will let you know how they turn out. 😁
💙💙
Welcome to our channel. So excited to see all of the Indigo Love being sent our way. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Is there a way to print your recipe as noted? I tried to highlite it to print, but it would not let me. I really don’t want to hand copy as it is a little long. Any ideas?
The easiest thing to do is take a screen shot and have it to reference in your photos. Hope that helps. Karen and Therese

Thanks for all the hearts. Can't wait for you to try these. Let us know what you think. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Can I use bamboo fiber instead of acacia fiber?
We haven't tried the bamboo fiber but sure it would work or oat fiber. Please read through the subscribers comments because many have used substitutes and had great success using our base as the recipe. Not sure if the bamboo would make the crackers more dry or change the taste. It's certainly worth trying. This recipe doesn't seem to be too fuzzy with sticking to the exact ingredients. Please come back and share your results. After all, aren't we all just searching for the ultimate best crunchy cracker. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Can you use inulin in place of acacia fiber?
We wouldn't suggest that substitution. You could either leave it out altogether or add oat fiber if you have that.
Is there a substitute for unflavored collagen or can I just omit it? Also, could I use avocado oil instead of melted butter? Thank you.
You can try gelatin in place of the collagen maybe only use 2 teaspoon of the gelatin and as for the avocado oil that should be fine. Although we haven't tried that yet. Please read some of the other subscribers comments because they made substitutions and each had successful results. Please get back to us with what you try, It really helps all of us. After all we're all just looking for the very best of crackers. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
@lowcarbspin thank you for responding. I really want to make these, but I have so many different baking ingredients, I didn't want to buy more! 😫 😉😋
What are you missing? Maybe we can figure out some substitutions for you. Also yesterday @alldayidreamaboutfood posted an almond flour cracker recipe that looked good. "Crispity Crunchity Keto Cracker" More carbs but they looked yummy and might work for you. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Would like specific amounts of ingredients. Not just some of this and some of that. Looks like a great recipe but what amounts of each please
In all of our videos the recipe is located after the description of each video. All of the ingredients and measurements are located in the description box along with the written instructions. You'll see the word More... Tap on the word "more .." and scroll down to see the full recipe. Hope that helps. Let us know if you're able to see it.Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Thank you for teaching how to get your full recipes. Looking forward to your great ideas to make this journey fun friendly ,tasty and exciting with you all
Would love to try these, but I don't want to buy flavor powders. If using freshly grated cheddar instead of powder, how many grams should I use?
We would add about 1/4 cup grated cheddar or you can add more of the parmesan cheese. Let us know how these turn out for you. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Is acacia fiber equivalent to oat fiber? Can flax seeds be used instead of hemp seeds? I don't really want to buy more ingredients when I have others in bulk already. These sound really good and I'd love to have good low carb crackers!
Many Blessings from Deborah in West Virginia!
Hi Deborah. You can replace the hemp seeds with flax meal. It will change the flavor and you'll have to watch them closer in the oven because flax tends to acquire a burnt taste if over baked. One of our subscribers (@kayewatson8168) had good results doing using flax meal and also she also replaced the pork rinds with 1 TBS gelatin. As for the Acacia vs the Oat fiber. You can try it but only use half as much oat fiber. Acacia fiber is very light and we feel it gives a light airy feel to the crackers. I'm afraid that the oat fiber will make them have a very dry mouth feel. We tried coconut flour and that's what happened. We totally understand about purchasing yet another ingredient. But if you follow our channel we use the same ingredients over and over so the Acacia wouldn't be for just a one time recipe. It's great in our "Less ingredient Wonder Bun" video. It's our favorite bread/bun substitute for our low carb lifestyle. Let us know what you try with the cracker substitutions. Thanks for Watching! Karen and Therese
Also @critter4004 ended up using the same amount of psyllium in place of the acacia fiber. They also used crushed pumpkin seeds instead of the hemp. We always read the comments on videos because everyone always has good ideas for substitutions in order to fit their dietary needs. It also saves on wasting ingredients if they let you know what definitely doesn't work. Thanks again
@@lowcarbspin thank you so much for your detailed answers! I'm new to your channel and always looking for new recipes. We've regressed a little too much the past few months after having been keto for 3 years. I don't buy all the prepackaged "keto" products out there. I will make note of these variation options and test a batch, watching them closely. I will also start watching some of your other videos and catch up on other good recipes.
Many Blessings from Deborah in West Virginia!
Awesome! Just let us know what you try and any substitutions because it helps all of our subscribers.Thanks again Karen and Therese
Where did u get the cute drinking cups
They came from "Crate & Barrel" a retail store many, many years ago. They're a favorite of ours as well. Thanks for watching! Karen and Therese
Hi what cheese powder do you use
Usually we use Judee's brand but we ran out and used King Arthur Better Cheddar Cheese powder. You can also use graded fresh Cheddar cheese. We've also used Asiago Powder. In the comments a subscriber used cream cheese powder and loved the results. We're thinking the base dough is rather forgiving. Let us know what you end up trying. Thanks for watching!
