This dessert was surprisingly on point!! I can’t wait to take it to a holiday party and blow people’s minds with a keto friendly treat that they would never guess was keto. The cheese ball is so easy to make. Paired with the keto graham crackers, guests will have no idea it is a keto dish. I was also very surprised the graham crackers were crispy after cooling and taste better than the carby ones on the grocery store shelf. This recipe is must try! You will not believe how tasty it is. If you make it for the holidays, please let us know!

Low-Carb Keto Graham Crackers
Low-Carb Keto Graham Crackers Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups superfine blanched almond flour
- 1/3 cup Lakanto Monk Fruit sweetener or other keto friendly sweetener
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
- pinch of pink Himalayan salt
- 1 large egg
- 2.5 tbsp grass-fed butter melted
- 2 tsp Lakanto maple flavored syrup (optional, but improves color and flavor)
- 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
-
Preheat oven to 300F.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, sweetener, cinnamon, aluminum-free baking powder and pink Himalayan salt. Add liquid ingredients next. Stir in egg, melted butter, monk fruit syrup and vanilla extract until smooth dough forms.
-
Place dough on a large piece of parchment paper and pat out shaping into a rectangle. Top with another piece of parchment. Roll out dough as evenly as possible to about 1/4 inch thickness pressing in the edges to maintain rectangular shape.
-
Remove top parchment paper and cut into 2×2 inch squares using a pizza cutter. Transfer the entire piece of parchment onto a baking sheet.
-
Bake 15- 20 minutes, watching closely until just beginning to brown and firm up. Remove crackers and let cool 30 minutes then break up along score marks. They will crisp up as they cool.
If you are looking for a tasty keto cereal let graham crackers cool then crumble them into a bowl and add some unsweetened almond milk. It tastes just like cinnamon toast crunch and it’s actually good for you! MY KIDS LOVED IT! We have found a new favorite.
