For March, on the BLOG, I’ve been focusing on bread and knew I also wanted my Sunday Meal Preps to follow that trend. This way my people on a health journey can participate as well. I did a different style of gluten-free, low-carb crackers last weekend and they were delicious. It was simply cheese, sliced thinly, and baked until it became crispy. I guess you could call them Keto cheese chips. The best part is that they are only one ingredient. It doesn’t get any easier than that!
Today’s recipe has a few more than one ingredient and also includes flour, but we are using coconut and almond flour instead of all-purpose white flour. This will keep our calories and carbs significantly lower. After all, the goal is to aim for keto-friendly snacks when you are eating a low-carb diet.
And although we don’t typically count calories while doing low-carb, a low-calorie diet is often the result of eating fewer carbs and higher protein. I think it’s because overall you consume less food. Because the higher the protein content of the food you are eating the longer you stay full.

The flavor of the other low-carb cheese crackers I made earlier in my meal prep series was completely cheese. The cheddar was pungent and the pepperjack had a little kick and a different cheese flavor. In contrast, these crackers have a nice onion flavor to accompany the mellow tang of Mozzarrella. That makes these crunchy snacks a little more interesting for the palette. They are so yummy that the whole family will probably be reaching for this delicious crunchy snack so you might have to keep them hidden!
I think that these keto cheese crackers would go perfectly in a low-carb version of Chex mix. Just mix almonds, pecans, walnuts, these keto cheese and chive crackers, and some buttered popcorn, and enjoy! (in moderation of course)
And I know that it might seem like we are talking a lot about cheese when referring to Keto diets and low-carb eating in general. And the truth is that it’s a really big part of this lifestyle. Cheese has virtually no carbs, comes in a variety of flavors, makes things creamy, and is easy to incorporate into recipes. If I were a person that didn’t like cheese, I would probably struggle on my Keto journey. (Fun Fact: I have a brother that doesn’t eat cheese) And cream cheese and cottage cheese are really big on the list.

Something else that you will see a lot of when eating a Keto diet is heavy whipping cream. I like to make homemade low-carb ice cream with it. I also LOVE to drink a little bit in my coffee every morning with a zero-calorie sweetener. It’s also a staple in low-carb desserts because it can be made into whipped topping. It also makes sweets rich and creamy.
Once you start making substitutions and swaps that make sense, you soon realize that there are more options available to you then you realized at first. Nowadays there also plenty of store-bought items that are actually tasty, low-carb, Keto friendly and while they aren’t cheap, they are affordable. Here is a list of some of my favorite Low-carb snacks straight from the store:
- Protein Shakes
- Wilde protein chips
- Cottage Cheese

Tips for the Keto Cheese and Chive Crackers – Low Carb Recipe:
- The dough is a little flaky and difficult to roll out, so I would certainly use the two sheets of parchment paper to help.
- I actually let my dough sit in the fridge for hours instead of 20 minutes and I think it might have made my dough a little more crumbly. I found it to be easier to roll once it warmed up just a touch. So, stick to the 20 minute chill in the fridge and it should be okay.
- The dough is crumbly and when you try to cut it, you might have to be careful and go slower. However, if the crackers do break or prove to be difficult, you can literally pinch them back together with your fingers and create the square shape again.

Keto Cheese and Chive Crackers – Low Carb Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cup melted mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons light sour cream
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons chives

- Then, form a ball of dough out of the flour mixture and refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.
- After the dough has been resting for 20 minutes in the fridge, take it out and roll it out between two pieces of parchment paper. You want it to be very thin for the crispiest crackers.
