Low-Carb Seeded Crackers: The Perfect Snack

The Crunch Conundrum

You start keto. You feel great. Then you reach for a cracker.

And suddenly you realise everything on the shelf is packed with wheat, grains, and enough carbs to knock you straight out of ketosis.

It's one of those little frustrations that catches you off guard. Cheese needs a vehicle. Dips need something to scoop them up. Soups taste better with something crispy on the side.

The good news? You don't have to give up the crunch.

You've got two solid routes: make your own keto seeded crackers at home, or grab a quality store-bought option that does the heavy lifting for you.

Let's break down both.

The DIY Route: Homemade Keto Seeded Crackers

Making your own crackers sounds more complicated than it actually is.

You need seeds, a binder, and about 30 minutes. That's it.

Here's a simple recipe that works every time.

Ingredients

• Extra virgin olive oil, to grease
• 150g mixed seeds (Sunflower, Pumpkin, Poppy, Hemp, Coriander, Sesame)
• 50g milled flaxseed
• 1 egg white (approx. 30g)
• 30g parmesan, finely grated
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon chilli powder
• ½ teaspoon fine salt
• 5 to 6 tablespoons cold water

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C / gas mark 6).
2. Line an upturned baking tray with baking parchment and lightly brush with olive oil.
3. Add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly, gradually adding the cold water until a thick paste forms.
4. Use a spatula to scrape the mixture onto the lined baking tray and spread it roughly.
5. Take a second sheet of baking parchment the same size as the tray, brush it with oil, then place it oil-side down on top of the cracker mixture.
6. Using a rolling pin or an empty wine bottle, roll the mixture until it is around 2mm thick.
7. Remove the top parchment and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned and brittle.
8. Once cool enough to handle, break into cracker-sized shards.
9. If any pieces feel soft underneath, return them to the oven for a couple of minutes until fully crisp.
10. Once completely dry, these crackers will keep in an airtight container for up to one week.

Per 30g serving:

• Carbohydrates: 3g
• Fibre: 2g
• Protein: 5.9g

This makes them a genuinely keto-friendly snack that actually feels satisfying.

Why This Recipe Works

It's seed-based, so you're getting fibre, healthy fats, and a bit of protein.

There's no nut flour involved, which makes it cheaper and nut-allergy friendly.

And you can customise the flavour: swap the garlic for smoked paprika, add chilli flakes, or keep it plain and let your toppings do the talking.

The "Too Busy to Bake" Route

Not everyone has the time: or the inclination: to measure out seeds and babysit the oven.

Sometimes you just want to rip open a packet and get on with your life.

That's where the ADONiS range comes in.

We stock three varieties at Keto Kitchen Lytham, and they're all proper low-carb options:

ADONiS Olive & Chia Seeds

These crackers combine almond flour, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, and Kalamata olives for a Mediterranean vibe.

They're gluten-free, vegan, and come in plastic-free packaging if you care about that sort of thing.

Carb count: 9.1g per 100g (about 1-2g per cracker, depending on size).

ADONiS Black Pepper & Sea Salt

A classic flavour combination that works with pretty much everything.

Same seed and nut base as the olive version, just with a peppery kick instead.

Great if you want something savoury without competing flavours when you're pairing with cheese or pâté.

ADONiS Mediterranean Style

This one leans into herbs and sun-dried tomatoes for a more robust flavour.

Perfect if you're looking for something that can hold its own against stronger cheeses or charcuterie.

Why ADONiS Over Other Brands?

There are plenty of keto crackers out there now. Some are decent. Some taste like cardboard dipped in sadness.

ADONiS crackers actually taste good.

They're made with real ingredients: seeds, nuts, olives: not a long list of stabilisers and additives.

The texture is sturdy enough to handle a generous dollop of cream cheese without snapping in half.

And they're organic, which matters to some people and doesn't to others. Either way, you know what you're eating.

The Perfect Pairing

Whether you've gone DIY or grabbed a packet of ADONiS, you need something to put on them.

Our Sweet Chilli Jam is the obvious choice.

It's got that sweet-heat balance that works brilliantly with the nuttiness of seeded crackers. Spread it on with a bit of cream cheese or goat's cheese, and you've got yourself a proper snack.

It also works brilliantly with our keto-friendly desserts if you're putting together a low-carb spread.

It's also low-carb, so you're not undoing all your good cracker choices with a sugar-loaded topping.

You can grab it alongside the ADONiS crackers in our shop, and we deliver nationwide if you're not local to Lytham.

Other Pairing Ideas

• Full-fat cream cheese with smoked salmon
• Aged cheddar and a few slices of chorizo
• Sugar-free peanut butter (if you're into that sort of thing)
• Chicken liver pâté
• Brie and a handful of berries

The beauty of a good cracker is that it's a blank canvas. You do you.

Store-Bought vs. Homemade: The Verdict

So which route should you take?

Go homemade if:

• You like having full control over ingredients
• You want the absolute lowest carb count possible
• You enjoy a bit of weekend meal prep
• You're on a tight budget (seeds are cheap in bulk)

Go store-bought if:

• You value convenience over everything else
• You don't have the time or kitchen space for baking
• You want consistent flavour every time
• You prefer ready-to-eat options that don't require planning

There's no wrong answer here. Some people batch-make crackers on a Sunday and feel very pleased with themselves. Others keep a few packets of ADONiS in the cupboard and reach for them when the craving hits.

Both approaches work. Both keep you in ketosis. Both give you that satisfying crunch.

Quality Ingredients, Zero Faff

Whether you're mixing seeds in a bowl or tearing open a packet, you're choosing real food.

That's what matters.

At Keto Kitchen Lytham, we focus on quality ingredients and ready-to-eat convenience. That's why we stock the ADONiS range alongside our freshly cooked keto meals: because sometimes you just want something simple that works.

If you're after the crackers or the Sweet Chilli Jam, you can order online and we'll deliver anywhere in the UK.

And if you fancy making your own? The recipe's up there. Give it a go. Let us know how it turns out.

Either way, you're sorted for snacks.
