Grain-free almond flour crackers with ground flaxseed meal and simple seasonings. Perfect for a nutritious snack solo or with dip!
Lately, I’ve been on a really big cracker kick.
I think it started when I was in process of moving.
Yes, there were a couple of nights when dinner was a box of Simple Mills crackers dunked in hummus.
All of the empty store-bought cracker boxes got me thinking– maybe I could (should!) make some of my own?
These Grain-Free Almond Flour Crackers are made with almond flour, flaxseed, and simple seasonings!
Let’s get crack(er)in’.
What You Need to Make Grain-Free Almond Flour Crackers
Achieving the right texture for an entirely grain-free crackers took many a test trial.
But the result is a sheet of crispy, flakey, perfectly seasoned squares.
We start with an almond flour and flaxseed base then mix in classic cracker seasonings like Himalayan sea salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Add in your favorite herb– I used fresh rosemary.
Next, cut the pastry dough with culinary algae oil and cold filtered water until you have a solid dough.
Voila!
Here’s what you need to make them:
- almond flour
- ground flaxseed meal
- rosemary
- sea salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- Thrive® Algae Oil
- cold filtered water
How to Make Grain-Free Almond Flour Crackers
The hardest part of the recipe is rolling out the dough and scoring into tiny squares.
You want to roll your dough into a thin layer to ensure your crackers get crispy while baking.
I recommend transferring the dough flat into the freezer for 10 minutes or so to firm up before slicing.
Try using a pizza cutter for ease in slicing!
Thrive Algae Oil
My secret ingredient for these Grain-Free Almond Flour Crackers is Thrive®Algae Oil!
Thrive®Algae Oil is an everyday cooking oil made from algae you’re going to love using in the perfect crackers.
Its light, neutral taste allows the seasonings and flavor shine through in any type of cooking or baking, helping the crackers brown beautifully without taking away from their flavor.
It has a high smoke point(up to 485°), making it safe to bake with, too.
Thrive contains the highest level of good heat-stable, heart-healthy monounsaturated fat and the lowest level of saturated fat compared to any other cooking oil in your kitchen, so you get great nutritional benefits along with its culinary versatility!
If you want to try it out, you can find Thrive on Amazon and several stores like Walmart and Whole Foods.
How to Serve Grain-Free Almond Flour Crackers
Make these Grain-Free Almond Flour Crackers for a quick crunchy snack.
I used fresh rosemary in mine for some herbed flavor, but you could also sub dill, parsley, or whatever your favorite is.
Enjoy them solo or pair them with your favorite dip, like hummus, peanut butter, avocado, or herbed nut cheese.
Crackers will retain their crunch in an air tight container for up to one week, but if your crackers consumption is like mine, they won’t last that long!

Grain-Free Almond Flour Crackers
- Total Time: 38 minutes
- Yield: 60-70 crackers
Description
Grain-free almond flour crackers with ground flaxseed meal and simple seasonings. Perfect for a nutritious snack solo or with dip!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup super-fine almond flour
- 2/3 cup almond flour
- 2 TBSP ground flaxseed meal
- 1 tsp fresh chopped rosemary
- 1/2 tsp Himalayan sea salt
- 1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp onion powder
- 3 1/2 TBSP Thrive® Algae Oil
- 3–5 TBSP cold filtered water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add all dry ingredients to a mixing bowl and whisk until thoroughly combine.
- Pour in the oil and use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut until crumbly.
- Add cold water filtered water in 1 Tablespoon increments, smashing with your pastry cutter or forks until you have a slightly sticky dough that doesn’t crumble when pinched with your fingers. I used 5 Tablespoons of water.
- Work the dough into a large ball with your hands and transfer to a lightly floured parchment paper covered surface. Lay another sheet of parchment paper on top of the dough ball and use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into an even rectangular shape.
- Use a knife or pizza cutter, score the dough into small squares. My rectangle made about 65.
- Transfer the dough to the freezer for about 10 minutes to stiffen.
- Once firm, use a spatula to carefully transfer the crackers to the parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they don’t touch.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until slightly golden brown around the edges. Watch crackers carefully in the last 5 minutes to prevent burning. Remove crackers from oven and allow them to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
- Store leftovers crackers in an air tight contain at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Is there a sub for the oil. I have all ingredients but that! 🙂
Hi Jen,
Do you have another oil like olive or avocado? Another oil can be substituted instead!
XOXO Lauren
Is there a substitute for the almond flour? We have an allergy to that and all other treenuts. Thanks
Hi Raelene,
You can try oat flour instead. Are you grain-free as well?
XOXO Lauren
Hey Lauren,
Thanks for getting back fo me. No we don’t have a gluten allergy..
Thank you for sharing Lauren. As someone who can’t eat grains or high glycemic foods, this is a wonderful paleo remedy got tummy aches requiring BRAT diet. I enjoyed these crackers along with almond milk jelly ‘panna cotta’ and banana icecream.
If you’ve the time to conjure up ways of creating:
Cauliflower rice aranchini
Cauliflower rice, rice Cinomen pudding
Your knowledgeable input would be appreciated
Algae oil has been discontinued. Is it OK to use avocado oil instead? Also, I’m avoiding flaxseeds. Can ground chia seeds be substituted?
Hi Avram,
Yes, you can sub a high cooking oil like avocado oil for this recipe!!
XOXO Lauren
what is the difference between superfine almond flour and almond flour
Hi Tat!
The superfine almond flour will be a bit finer in consistency and might have no skins included. Specifically, it’s a product I use from Bob’s Red Mill. However, any almond flour should work for this recipe.
Enjoy!
XOXO Lauren
I’m reading the comments to determine if there is a substitute for Algae flour. I notice that Lauren won’t give an answer to those questions. This is my first time on the site and I’d like to make these crackers today. I don’t have Algae oil, I’ve never heard of it. I did look it up. I’ve been eating grain free for about 15 years, and yet, this is new to me. I’m a little disappointed that she hasn’t provided a substitute for the oil, and the only reason I can come up with is that she doesn’t want to provide an alternative to Thrive brand, probably part of her contract to represent them. I’m guessing any light oil will work. I’ll try light olive oil as an alternative. We’ll see how it goes. If anyone else has tried a different oil, would appreciate you posting what you came up with.
Hi Judy!
You can sub any neutral high heat oil for this recipe; I recommend avocado oil. Let me know how it turns out!
XOXO Lauren
