These Low-Carb Cheez-Its have always been one of my all-time favorite snacks. Cheesy, salty, crunchy all in one bite?! Um yeah- SIGN ME UP.
Since following a more primal low-carb diet lifestyle, I have missed my nighttime salty snacks. Well, no more! Between these Low-Carb Cheez-Its and my Low-Carb Crackers, I have all the options I need for when I want to sit on the couch and binge watch episodes of The Office for the two billionth time!
Low-Carb Cheez-Its Are Perfect For An Afternoon Or Late-Night Snack!
I love to pre-make these keto cheese crackers, eat a serving (or two), and store the remaining crackers in the fridge to snack on throughout the week. They are deliciously salty and cheesy and keto crackers satisfy my need to always have a post-dinner snack!
For this recipe to result in crunchy keto crackers, be sure to roll the dough thin enough that they have the opportunity to crisp up. You can, however, leave them slightly thicker and the recipe will still come out tasting AMAZING. I mean, helllllllllllo, baked cheese?! I’m pretty sure you can’t mess that up even if you tried!
Perfecting the proportions of the ingredients in this recipe was key, as I wanted to be sure that there wasn’t too much of the dough that it would be impossible to roll it thin enough and still fit on a traditional baking sheet. If you only have access to smaller baking sheets, you may need to cook the crackers in two separate batches!
Prep Your Cheez Its Snack For The Week!
If you plan to make a double batch of these cheeseitz crackers to have on-hand for the whole week, I recommend storing them in the refrigerator and re-heating in the oven at 400 degrees for 5 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
Net Carbs In Low-Carb Cheez-Its
With only 2.2g net carbs per serving, these Low-Carb Cheez-Its are the perfect low-carb, ketogenic snack! These will satisfy your craving for something salty and crunchy for sure!

Description
These Low-Carb Cheez-Its are the perfect snack for your ketogenic diet! This recipe is low-carb, keto, gluten-free, grain-free, vegetarian, refined-sugar-free, and contains only 2.2g net carbs per serving!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 3/4 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1 oz cream cheese
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Avocado oil cooking spray
- Coarse salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour and salt. Add egg and whisk until well-combined.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave cheddar, mozzarella, and cream cheese until melted, about 1 minute. Add melted cheeses to dry ingredients and, using hands, knead together until fully-incorporated. If the dough becomes too difficult to work with, return all ingredients to microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 10-15 seconds.
- Spray two pieces of parchment paper with cooking spray. Lay one piece down, spray side up, placing dough in the center. Lay the other piece down, spray side down so it touches the dough, and lightly press down. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough until it is an even layer. The dough should be quite thin. Remove and discard the top piece of parchment paper. Carefully slide a baking tray beneath the parchment paper with the dough on top.
- Using a pizza cutter, gently cut crackers into the desired size. Sprinkle coarse salt to the top of the dough.
- Bake crackers for 7 minutes.
- Remove crackers from oven and allow to cool slightly. Using a spatula, flip all crackers over. It may be necessary to re-cut some of the crackers with a pizza cutter as they may have melted together while baking. Return crackers to oven and bake for another 3-5 minutes.
- Allow the crackers to cool completely before breaking apart and enjoying!
Recipe Notes:
The microwave used to melt the cheeses is a 900-watt microwave. Depending on the strength of your microwave, the time to melt the cheeses may vary.

How do you store them?
Sara Nelson says
You can store them in an airtight container or storage bag at room temp. I would suggest eating within 3 days.
Brandi says
I have tried so many recipes and none of them taste good or even close to a bagel. This recipe is so good! It is very close to a bagel…even slightly chewy. Thank you for giving us this recipe!

Hi there. I’m new to this low carb thing and am looking forward to trying these crackers, Sorry if this is a dumb question, but above the recipe it says 2.2 net carbs per serving of 8 crackers and below the recipe it says 3.5 net carbs per serving of 8 crackers. Could someone please explain? Thank you.
Sara Nelson says
Hi, Susan! Not a dumb question at all. The 3.5 grams you’re seeing in the nutrition label is the total carb content, not the net carbs. To calculate net carbs, you need to subtract fiber and sugar alcohols from total carbs. So, 3.5g total carbs – 1.3g fiber = 2.2g net carbs.
Susan says
Thanks so much for clearing this up for me!
Ahmed says
Is it possible to do this recipe with low fat/no fat cheese or will that react differently after cooking? Thank you!
Sara Nelson says
I think that should work, but have never worked with low-fat/no-fat cheese. If you try it, let me know how it goes! 🙂
Stephanie says
Love these, but trying to figure out how to record them…. how many crackers is a “serving” because I may have eaten like 20!
Sara Nelson says
The serving size is listed in the nutrition label. One serving includes 8 crackers.
Dave says
May I get the nutritional information please
Sara Nelson says
Hi, Dave! The nutrition labels are always right below the recipe instructions in the recipe card.
Lynn says
These taste great but darn if I can get them crispy!
Kelly Garcia says
Try a food dehydrator
Carol says
Made these with a 1/4 tsp of paprika like real Cheez-Its. Agree sprinkling a little flour to roll out helps with sticking.
Carol says
Also be sure to roll thin or they won’t be crispy.
