Cheese Crackers (Low Carb, Gluten Free, Dairy Free)

Cheese Crackers (Low Carb, Gluten Free, Dairy Free)

I love crackers. They are very tasty, especially when cheesified.

Before I became Fitler, I used to chow down on crackers (ie. crusty carbs) daily:

  • In university, I would eat an entire box of Wheat Thins when studying.
    • FYI: Wheat Thins are baked crackers that taste so damn good they can actually make you undepressed.
  • As a kid, I used to eat an entire box of Cheese Nips when watching the Price is Right on t.v.
    • FYI: Cheese Nips are a type of cheddar cheese cracker manufactured by Kraft.

One of the hardest things for me to give up was CRACKERS because I'm crackers for crackers! Nevertheless, I begrudgingly gave 'em up because my body started forming layers of fat on my back resembling sausage rolls.

Holy Buckets of Cheese & Crackers! On June 15, 2013, I invented VERY LOW CARB crackers! OMG OMG and they are so insanely amazing they are beyond emotion. I guess that makes me a Cheese Wiz. And we all know Cheese Whiz adds personality. Just saying.

That concludes my rant. Presenting the crackers:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
  • Mix the following by hand in a bowl to yield a moist dough:
  • Place a silpat mat on a cookie sheet
  • Divide the dough into 12 balls on the silpat mat
  • Place a large piece of plastic wrap over the balls. Get a small glass (see photo) and press the bottom of the glass firmly over each cracker (press all the way down to the cookie sheet... yep, make them into little flat pancakes).
  • Remove the plastic wrap (duh).
  • Place in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove the cookie sheet and use your fingers to flip the crackers.
  • Place in the oven for another 10 minutes (or until golden brown).
