Cheddar Cheese Crackers (FM)
Recipes | November 18, 2014
One of my favorite junk foods made in America is without a doubt Cheez-it. Putting a box of cheez-its in front of me is like “giving crack to a crackhead”. Pardon me that expression, but I just heard that from someone and I thought that would be the best way to describe my behavior around these evil cheese crackers. I don’t have to tell you how bad they are. Processed junk, full of carbs that turn into sugar as soon as they hit your digestive system… no thanks.
FREE CRACKERS!!
Luckily, I came across a recipe that allows me to bake my own Cheddar Cheese Crackers that taste even better than cheez-its and are low in carbs, which makes them a great FM snack that you can enjoy at anytime of the day, without having to earn them with your workout.
___________________________________
Ingredients:
1 large egg
1 1/4 cup almond flour
2 tbsp grape seed oil (or grass fed butter)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
___________________________________
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven for 350F degree.
2. Mix all of the ingredients in a food processor and then place the dough in between two sheets of parchment paper.
3. Roll the dough into 1/16 inch thickness and place with the bottom sheet into the oven. You can also choose to cut it into even squares with a pizza cutter before you bake them, or just make them look more rustic and brake the crackers when their done.
4. Bake for about 15-20 minutes until they turn golden on top. Let them cool down for 30 minutes.
* I made them a little thicker so I had to leave them in the oven a little longer. They were still on the soft side when I took them out of the oven, but they did turn crunchy after the 30 minutes of sitting on the counter and cooling down. The dark dots are the pieces of shredded Cheddar cheese. Jesse loves them and asked me to make a whole batch, so that we can enjoy them later with our favorite tuna spread.

Note: This is for the entire recipe, not individual portions, which are going to vary depending on both the size and amount you’re going to eat. Just like you wouldn’t consume an entire cake or container of ice cream, you wouldn’t be choking down this entire recipe in one go. Relax, enjoy the treat, and be mindful of your portions.

Me too Christina and I’m like Zuzka with the Cheez-Its. My husband calls me Ratgirl because I’ll devour a chunk of cheese rather than eat a chocolate bar. Thanks Zuzka for this recipe. I love crackers of all kinds. It’s hard to find ones that are minimally processed that taste good. I have all the ingredients so will definitely try very soon. 🙂

Thank you for the recipe! I love cheese crackers also and my kids and I can eat half a box just at snack time(terrible I know). This is great! P.s. Can I substitute with walnut flour or something else….I found out the hard way that I am allergic to almonds…
Private Member |
I am also allergic to tree nuts…. I wonder if coconut flour would work.
Private Member |
You can try but you need to edd more eggs, or use just a little bit of coconut flour. Here you can find how to substitute almond flour http://www.paleoplan.com/2014/03-25/substitute-coconut-flour-almond-flour/ good luck 🙂

I absolutely LOVE your grammar mistakes!! It is so cute when you say things that don’t make sense in English. “giving a crack to a crackhead. Pardon me that expression” You are adorable Zuzka, I heart you so.
