These Nut Free Keto Crackers are low in carbs, take less than 1 hour to prepare and serve, and are the perfect midday snack option! If you have an allergy to almonds or other nuts, this is the perfect nut-free recipe for you!
Many keto crackers contain nuts, but if you’re someone who doesn’t tolerate nuts well or you’re allergic (like me), and want to stick to a low carb diet, these crackers use seeds as an alternative to almond flour and other nut-containing ingredients.

I love to serve these crackers with cheese at dinner parties or as a midday snack. When I serve these as a personal healthy keto snack, I typically smear some cream cheese atop the individual crackers. It’s delicious!
These crackers taste great with a simple spread of cream cheese topped with smoked salmon and cracked black pepper; or, bacon and avocado are favorite topping options of mine too!
Nut free keto crackers storage tips
Store these easy low carb crackers after they have fully cooled in an airtight container for up to 7 days at room temperature.
How to make crackers that are nut free and keto
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add ¼ cup sunflower seeds and ¼ cup pumpkin seeds to a food processor.
Pulse until seeds are ground.
Transfer ground seeds to a large mixing bowl and add remaining dry ingredients. If using any optional seasonings, add them at this time.
In a separate mixing bowl, using a fork, mix together egg, and melted butter.
Transfer wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients. Using hands, knead together all ingredients until well-combined and a dough has formed. Roll dough into a ball (it may be sticky) and place on a parchment paper-lined plate and transfer to refrigerator to chill for 10-15 minutes.
After dough has chilled, remove dough from refrigerator. Lay one piece of parchment paper down, placing chilled dough in the center of paper. Lay another piece of parchment paper down atop 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 sheet beneath the parchment paper with the dough on top. Using hands, form dough into a rectangle, gently pushing edges of dough against a knife to create straight edges. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to score dough (do not cut all the way through) and form 24 crackers.
Transfer baking sheet to oven and bake crackers until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Once done, remove baking sheet from oven and cut crackers all the way through. Allow crackers to cool on baking sheet for at least 30 minutes to harden and crisp up before serving.
