Can I make homemade ground flaxseed meal from whole flaxseeds?

Yes. You can simply take whole flax seeds and place them in a nut, spice, or coffee grinder until they turn into flour consistency.

Can I use a different combination of seeds?

Absolutely! Feel free to use any combination of seeds including pumpkin and sunflower seeds.

How should you store ground flaxseed meal?

Store ground flaxseed in the fridge or freezer. The oils in ground flaxseed can go rancid. The ground flaxseed meal will not freeze so I like to keep mine in the freezer.

Why did my keto crackers turn out soft?

If your crackers turned out too soft, it is most likely because you did not bake them long enough. To crisp up your crackers, place them back in the oven at 225 degrees F. and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Can I use toasted seeds or nuts to make keto crackers?

I do not suggest using toasted seeds or nuts for making homemade keto crackers. Nuts and seeds tend to burn easily so if they are already roasted/toasted, the nuts or seeds may burn before the crackers get a chance to get crispy.

Why is this a Fat Fast recipe?

Although these crackers only clock in at 77% fat, which is not high enough for a fat fast, by simply slathering on some cream cheese, olive oil, Boursin Cheese, pesto or any other high fat spread or dip, these homemade keto crackers will up close to 90% fat, depending on which condiment you add.

What is the difference between Brown and Golden Flax Seeds?

Golden flaxseeds have thin hulls, having undergone less biosynthesis of proanthocyanidins. This means that brown flax seeds have a slightly higher nutritional value than golden flax seeds.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Adjust the oven rack to the lowest part of the oven. Line a large-rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Add the boiling water and oil and stir. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes have passed, press the dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Place a second sheet of parchment paper, sprayed with cooking spray, over the crackers and use a rolling pin to spread the crackers as thin as possible.
Bake for 25 minutes, and then remove the crackers from the oven and using a pizza cutter, cut the crackers into 1 1/2 inch squares (32 in total). Bake until crisp, about 15-20 minutes. Turn the oven off and allow the crackers to crisp for an additional 1 hour.

Notes
