Cream crackers are one of the most well-known biscuits among Brazilians, and are also known as “water and salt” biscuits. But unlike this highly processed food, rich in refined carbohydrates, refined fats, and preservatives, our low-carb cracker recipe has more nutritious and healthy ingredients that will surprise you.
Luísa de Figueiredo, from @duas.cozinhaexperimental, created this practical, healthy and, of course, delicious recipe. We show you below the ingredients and how to prepare it, follow the thread!
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons firm ghee (120g)
- 2 egg whites
- 2 ¼ cups almond flour (225g)
- Salt
- Fresh thyme
Preparation method
- Before starting to prepare the recipe, preheat your oven to 170º. Now let's get to work.
- In a bowl, mix the ghee and almond flour. In the same bowl, add the egg whites and mix. Then add salt and thyme.
- Continue mixing with your hands until a soft dough forms. Shape the dough into a ball. Finally, roll the dough out on a greased baking sheet or with parchment paper until it is very thin.
- Now just bake in a preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool. Finish with a pinch of salt and fresh thyme. Break into small blocks and store in an airtight container.

Can you eat low carb cream crackers?
The concept of nutritious food is far from the point when we talk about the original cream cracker recipe.
This is because most of the ingredients in the packet are processed and are definitely not the best choice for your daily routine.
However, with the low carb cracker recipe you learned above, including it in your routine becomes an easy task, even if you are following a low carb diet.
This recipe is also perfect as a snack, a healthier option than corn chips or movie theater popcorn. Have you ever thought about binge-watching your favorite series with a delicious snack that doesn't compromise your lifestyle?
Low Carb Snack: why try this recipe?
A low-carb diet is one that aims to reduce carbohydrate consumption in the diet, especially eliminating sources of simple carbohydrates, such as sugar and white flour.
However, it is common for most people to make snacks such as bread, tapioca, cookies, cakes, couscous and savory snacks.
Therefore, whether you follow this eating style or not, low carb snacks are important to reduce your daily carbohydrate intake.
Satiety in your meals
Choosing ingredients with a higher amount of fiber helps with satiety and, consequently, reduces the calories consumed at the end of the day.
Almond flour is one of the main ingredients in our recipe, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This seed also helps increase satiety, has the ability to adjust blood fat levels and has a low glycemic index.
This type of flour is low in carbohydrates, especially when compared to other types of flour such as white or even wholemeal. Therefore, it is a great option for those looking for a diet with low levels of this macronutrient.
