Thank you for this! I must say these are super good and very filling. Even my boyfriend who is really picky and HATES nuts with a passion absolutely loved them. WTG!

tried these. they are the best lc think i've ever baked.

i made the original ones with a little hidden valley ranch seasoning. WOW....too good.
i made sweet ones with splenda, cinnamon, cloves, vanilla, and ginger. not really graham crackers but definately good, like a spice cookie.

I just had to bump this... I've seen the recipe around, and just tried them today... they are SOOOO good!

I totally recommend following Linda Sue's observation about using parchment paper: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/almond_thins.html

I had never used parchment paper before for anything, but it was a really helpful tip. Also, when you roll them out, you have to make them super thin or else they can turn out a little chewy.

I tried these and loved them!! I actually ate the whole batch I made the sweet version and tried them w/ pb & sf jam I made them alittle thicker than thins and they were perfect cookies. I'm dying to make them again but I don't know if I can control myself I definitely want to try the savory ones.

Ok, I am bookmarking this page. I have some almond flour and need something. Think I will try the southwestern ones, or all of them!

I make these today. They are fabulous! They're so crunchy and taste a lot like the commercial Wheat Thins that I used to love.

I also used parchment paper (first time I'd ever tried it) and it worked out great.

I want to try these for sure! You say 3 ozs ground almond is 1 cup and lindasue's recipe says 3 ozs is 3/4 cup.. I don't want to mess this up so how much have you all been using?

I just made a very non-measured version of this earlier. I couldn't remember the details lol. I put in 1.5 cups almond flour, 1 egg white, 1.5 Tbsp water, and a little bit (sprinkling, not measured) of powdered parmesan, onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt, cracked black pepper, and a tiny bit of oregano. I added some Rye flavoring (it's a powder I got at a baking supply), and some caraway seeds, then decided to add a few sesame seeds and poppy seeds too (not many).

Edited to add: forgot to mention! I also added about 1 tsp from a package of powdered mix for ranch dressing, and some dried onion flakes.

I don't own a rolling pin nor did I have space for that. I just used a fork till it was all dense and moist enough to be stuck together when pressed, dumped it on large-size jelly roll pan (cookie sheet with edges) on parchment paper, put another piece on top, and squished with my palms as much as I could to cover the surface (10"x14" I think). I knew it would be too thick but I didn't have much option. By the way the stuff will stick to anything, so the parchment was really necessary. If I even touched it with my finger it would come up off the pan with my hand.

I cooked it for about 25 minutes on 300 degrees. I checked it every 10 minutes or so and waited until most all the surface had changed from light gold to brown.

The bad: it was probably twice as thick as it should be especially on the edges, that was my fault, and, I've no idea of the carb count but it's higher since I added parm and other seeds. I was only experimenting casually right now but I'll do another eventually with measures and counts.

The good: I can't believe how great this tastes!!

I fine-shredded some colby jack, added minced garlic (fresh, not jar'd, mega difference in taste) and just enough mayo to make it sculptable, and then broke off some pieces of the sheet-sized nut-seed cracker and dipped them in that. We call that 'Toastez spread'. Wow, really yummy! I have eggs cooling for some egg salad I thought we might just eat by dishing it out on the cracker-chunks.

At some point when I have a whole day, I'm going to have to experiment with several variants on this at once. This one worked awesomely. Seriously, I am not a big cracker person though I guess I like quality veggie-herb crackers and rye bread and this was sort of in between. Heavier and denser than a cracker from a box, but tastes frankly even better. This is as close as I can get to an everything-bagel I guess, one of every kind of seed!

I'd like to try the cinnamon variant, but I want to get a rolling pin first. :-)

Since this is an almond base, I'd like to see if it's possible to get some sweet variant like chocolate. I'm just thinking that if it could be done, then broken up in the bottom of a bowl with some sliced strawberries and cream it might be interesting, or used as a "crumble" on other things.

I think this is an excellent 'base' recipe -- much like the mock danish, the flax bread, the deep dish quiche pizza, the revroll/oopsie, this is more a "concept" recipe that can be experimented with infinitely. I'd really like to hear how other people's stuff came out (and does in the future) and what ideas people have.

For example, I was thinking that they make tomato bouillion powder (mexican section of my store), and I bet if I added a little of that, and some basil and oregano, it would be interesting.

I was also thinking of other sweet variants, since almond's great with everything -- like, what about a little banana flavor, or lemon?

Terrific idea, thanks for posting this!!

PJ

I use 1 cup of ground almond and the egg white from a large size egg. However, I think 3/4 cup should work OK, too. And, it doesn't matter if you get some of the egg yolk in this.

Also, I like to brush these with melted butter, to make a buttery cracker. I put the butter on when they're about half way done baking.
