I love how simple and versatile these crackers are. There’s no long list of ingredients or fancy prep work involved. Just blend, shape, and bake. Plus, they’re packed with protein, which keeps me full longer. The almond flour gives them a toasty crunch, and the cottage cheese adds moisture and a subtle tang.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup almond flour (or oat flour for a non-keto version)

Directions

Preheat and Prep
I start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Blend the Mixture
I combine the cottage cheese and almond flour in a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth. The texture should be thick and paste-like.
Shape the Crackers
I spread the mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and use a spatula or my hands to press it into a thin, even layer—about 1/8 inch thick. Then I score the surface into small squares using a knife or pizza cutter.
Bake
I bake the crackers for 25–30 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crisp around the edges. I check them halfway through and rotate the pan if needed.
Cool and Break Apart
Once baked, I let them cool completely, then break them apart along the scored lines. I store them in an airtight container once fully cooled.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes about 25 small crackers.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Bake time: 25–30 minutes
Total time: 30–35 minutes

Variations

Add Herbs: I mix in rosemary, thyme, or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
Cheesy Twist: I add 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan for a savory kick.
Spice It Up: I sprinkle the top with chili flakes, garlic powder, or black pepper before baking.
Seed Blend: I press in sesame, flax, or chia seeds for added crunch and nutrition.
Oat Flour Option: When I’m not going keto, I swap the almond flour with oat flour for a slightly sweeter, more neutral taste.

Storage/Reheating

I store these crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For longer storage, I refrigerate them for up to a week. If they lose their crunch, I reheat them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5–7 minutes to crisp them back up.

FAQs

Can I make these without a food processor?

Yes, I’ve mixed the ingredients by hand with a spoon. The texture won’t be as smooth, but it still works.

Can I use flavored cottage cheese?

I stick with plain cottage cheese to control the flavor, but mild herbed versions can work well too.

Are these crackers keto-friendly?

Absolutely, as long as I use almond flour and plain cottage cheese, they stay low in carbs and high in fat and protein.

Can I freeze the crackers?

I’ve tried freezing them after baking, and they hold up well. I just thaw and crisp them in the oven for a few minutes before serving.

Do they taste like cottage cheese?

Not strongly. The flavor bakes out, leaving a rich, slightly tangy taste that pairs well with both sweet and savory toppings.

Conclusion

These 2-ingredient cottage cheese crackers are one of my favorite hacks for quick, healthy snacking. They come together fast, pack a nutritional punch, and satisfy my crunch cravings without guilt. Whether I’m following keto or just want something gluten-free and wholesome, they’re always a win in my kitchen.
