Flax crackers just might be the perfect snacking solution. These flax crackers are low carb, gluten free, sugar free, diabetes-friendly, and nut-free. They aren’t dairy free, but certainly can be modified to accommodate anyone who is lactose intolerant or vegan.
I set out to create this recipe for three reasons. First, my wife has been hinting at it. Second, for me, eating low carb means I almost never have a quick and crunchy snack food. I’m not the only one who misses quick and crunchy, right? And third, it’s not easy find something other than veggie sticks that you can serve as simple appetizers and with dips.
Well, thanks to flax crackers, gone are the days of serving cheese and crackers without the crackers.
Flaxseeds are not just low carb. They’re loaded with fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. They have a mild, slightly nutty taste that blends well with many flavors. I decided to make Parmesan flax crackers not just because I love Parmesan, but because it adds such richness to this recipe.
These Parmesan flax crackers are fantastic on their own, with chesse, roast beef, guacamole, salsa, grilled zucchini, hummus, black lentil hummus, and even in place of croutons in a salad. And even better, they are very easy to make.

I just made these crackers and they are awesome and easy to make. What kind of parmesan cheese do you use? i used grated parm out of the can and when I loaded all the ingredients i to MyFitnessPal it came up 64/64g for carbs and fiber.
Totally going to try these!
