I tried to make theese, broke quite a bit but who cares, yummmmm. I tested them on my toughest critic, my 4 year old. Put a lil peanut butter on and he wolfed it down.. I'd say this gets a thumbs up

Almond Thins
posted by MiRedKitty on Low Carb Friends

1 cup almond flour
1 egg white
pinch of salt, garlic powder, & onion powder

Preheat oven 325. Mix ingredients well. Place mixture onto a well greased piece of tin foil. Spray a piece of wax paper with cooking spray and lay over top of mixture. Use a rolling pin to roll out to a cracker thickness. Gently remove wax paper. Sprinkle more salt on top if desired and press lightly into dough. Score with knife or pizza cutter into squares. Lay tin foil on rack in oven. Bake until golden brown about 10 minutes. Makes around 50 crackers.

Carb count is about 9 for the whole batch. You can also vary the flavor-use ranch powder, ground bacon bits, season salt...

These sound great, but I think the carb count is higher - 1 cup of almond flour is equal to 112 grams and 112 grams is 12 carbs. Still a great recipe though and one we plan to make as we head out for our vacation this week!

Thanks,

Hi Again - Just wanted to let you know I made these and they are great! I actually added 2T of parmesan cheese to the mix. It upped the carbs a tiny bit but spread over 4 servings is negligble. They are great and my DH is having me make some for our trip to CA ( we leave Wednesday and he figures they will be gone by then!)

Thanks,
Pecan Pie

I'm so glad you enjoyed them, they've been a big hit on the other web site as well.

Hi again - I was thinking last night you *might* be able to use this as a crust for a quiche, or if you put sweetner in them as a crust for a pie - or even to make sweet cookies. I think I may try this when I get back from vacation.

How funny, I guess great minds think alike. I just used it as a crust for a recipe of Pecan Tassies and it worked great.

I tried these crackers this evening! Delicious! Very important to peel them very gently from the foil so that they don't break.

I tried this recipe this weekend and they turned out fantastic! I miss the crunch of a cracker and these are great. The recipe is so simple, and has loads of room to play with. Thank you Thank you Thank you for posting...this one is a keeper!

I made these last weekend and they vanished - everyone wanted some. So easy and sooo good and you don't have to wonder what is in them. I will be making a double batch tonight and will try to add some sesame seeds in. I found that a little salt on top really makes the cracker! Nice recipe - thanks for posting.
