These keto HOP crackers are crispy and satisfying with dips, a cheese platter, a base for crostini, or even as a stand alone snack. I’m giving you three different cracker flavors to liven up your keto snacking game.
These Keto HOP crackers are made with the base dough from my famous Keto HOP bread, with a few minor changes for flavor and texture.
Don’t be intimidated by the fact that there are a couple of steps to this recipe. Pre-baking the HOP crackers as “logs” and then slicing and baking again to crisp them has resulted in the best texture in my opinion.
Instead of incorporating the seasonings into the dough, I rolled each log in the seasonings, pressing down to coat them well. Alternatively you could knead the seasonings right into your dough before baking.
Just for fun, I used a different shape for each flavor – you’ve got everything seasoning, garlic & chive, and parmesan peppercorn as options here. Although really the sky is the limit on flavorings, so feel free to experiment.
After you bake these Keto HOP crackers as logs, you can slice them thin for a light and crispy cracker, or a little thicker so they stand up well to dips or bruschetta toppings without breaking or getting soggy.
Just spread them out on parchment and bake until crisp – you can drizzle them with olive oil and salt for another layer of flavor if you like.
I’ve experimented with this batch of Keto HOP crackers a number of ways, even topping them with tuna fish for a quick lunch, or slices of grilled bratwurst with a dollop of mustard and some homemade sauerkraut for a fun snack.
Then of course there is always CHEEEEEESE. The BFF to crackers everywhere.
However you choose to enjoy these keto HOP crackers, they are going to be delicious!
Maybe dangerously so, if you know what I mean! To avoid overeating, I’d suggest portioning them out in advance and storing them in the refrigerator where they will keep for up to two weeks.
KETO HOP CRACKERS NOTES:
To make a Squeaky Clean Keto version of these crackers just use the Squeaky Clean Keto Bread Dough recipe, which is nut free.
I’ve previously been recommending Healthworks brand psyllium husk powder, but my latest bag that I just opened was not as powdered as it has been in the past and the change in texture definitely impacted the end results in a negative way. So I’m currently recommending Anthony’s brand psyllium husk powder, which IBIH users have reported as a true powder, and it hasn’t turned purple during baking.
The brand of hearts of palm you use doesn’t seem to matter, but you MUST drain it really well, and maybe even rinse it if the smell is strong, to keep the HOP flavor from being overpowering.
Some people have reported that when they were unable to source hearts of palm, that they tried canned artichoke hearts and had decent results. I can’t guarantee that as I haven’t tried it, but let us know how it goes in the comments if you do.

Ingredients
For the base dough:
- 1 (14 ounce) can of hearts of palm, well drained
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2/3 cup coconut flour
- 3 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
- 2 tablespoons hemp hearts
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon himalayan salt
For the seasonings:
Everything

Garlic & Chive
- 2 teaspoons garlic flakes
- 2 tablespoons dried chives
- 3/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
Parmesan Peppercorn
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon coarsely grated or cracked peppercorns
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
Instructions
To make the base dough:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
- Blend hearts of palm, eggs, olive oil, and water in a blender until smooth.
- Pour into a mixing bowl.
- Add the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium powder, hemp seeds, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix on low to medium for about 2 minutes, or until a stiff dough is formed.
- Divide the dough into 3 equal balls.
To make the crackers:
- Roll each ball into a log about 12 inches long and 1 inch around.
- Form each log into desired shape using hands and a flat surface if necessary.
- Combine the ingredients to create the three separate seasonings.
- Sprinkle one of the seasoning mixes onto a cutting board and roll/press one of the logs into it until fully coated. Move to a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Clean any extra seasoning off the cutting board and repeat with another seasoning mix and log.
- Repeat with the third seasoning and log.
- Bake the logs in the oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove and cool for 30 minutes for easier slicing.
- Once cooled, slice your crackers into your desired thickness.
- Place the slices on a parchment-lined cooking sheet and sprinkle with additional salt if desired.
- Reduce heat to 350, and bake the crackers for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Cool completely at room temperature before storing, or they will become soggy.
Notes
Approximate net carbs for 10 crackers is 1g.
Note: The difference in nutrition info for the different seasonings was so minuscule when spread over so many crackers that I didn’t bother listing all three of them here. Just go with these numbers no matter which flavor you’re eating.

I happened to have a can of hearts of palm in my pantry, and decided to make your crackers today, which I will serve with my meat and cheese platter on Thanksgiving. I am so pleased how they turned out! I was a little worried that the hearts of palm flavor would be prominent, but that is not the case. Thank you so much for sharing your easy and delicious recipe!

Thrilled that these were a hit Kathy, thanks for taking the time to let me know!
Geraldine Yliniemi says
All I can say is: I think Melissa is amazing!
Mellissa Sevigny says
Awwww – thank you! 😘
Natalie says
So I just made the HOP bread and loved it. Definitely the easiest keto dough I’ve ever made! I was about to leave a comment asking if you’d figured out a way to make crackers with the dough and of course you have:) Can’t wait to make crackers now!
★★★★★
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks for taking the time to rate and comment Natalie – hope you enjoy the crackers too!
Jesse says
Which attachment should I use, flat beater or dough hook?
Martine says
Interesting. I bought some mashed HOP which is supposed to be a good substitute for mashed potatoes. I didn’t really like the flavour and prefer mashed Cauli. This will be a perfect recipe to use up my extra bag!
Jay Marks says
This is my favorite bread recipe and now my favorite cracker recipe! WOrked for me much better than almond flour crackers….which always seem to crumble. Hard to slice them really thin. I tried a bread knife and a straight edge. What knife do you recommend?
Laura says
Have you ever tried making this wonderful HOP bread recipe into rolls for hamburgers? It’s the absolute best keto bread!!!
Mellissa Sevigny says
Yes and it works great!
jill hartman says
Made these last week, what a huge hit and CRUNCHY something usually lacking in low carb snacks. these came out perfectly and I am making them again. I do some low carb baking for friends and have order for them already

Melissa,
Followed the recipe exactly. HOPs were drained to dryness. Sliced pretty thin- got over 150 crackers. Thought I had baked them too long because they were brown on one side but they weren’t crisp.🤷♀️ Any ideas?
I did put some in the air fryer for a few minutes before eating and it did help crisp them up a bit.
jill hartman says
I flipped mine over in the oven and they were really crunchy
Renee says
Wondering if you’ve tried this. After the first bake on the logs is it possible to freeze the logs and then just cut off what I want out of the freezer and bake the crackers the second time from there? I’d love to have them on hand like this for last minute summer guests. Thanks! Love all your recipes!!!
Judy says
What would the conversion be if I wanted to use almond flour in place of the coconut flour?
Mellissa Sevigny says
I’m not sure that would work and I couldn’t make a recommendation without testing it first. If you try it let us know if it worked for you.
Jamie S Schmidt says
Approximately how many slices (crackers) should one log make?
Mellissa Sevigny says
Depends on how thick you slice them so it’s really hard to say.
Jackie says
Can use something else instead of the hemp seeds?
Patti says
I’m wondering the same thing. Did you ever get an answer?
Karin says
Made this today for Thanksgiving. They came out very good, however next time will (1) run the blender a bit longer – I had a few fibrous chunks from the HOP – and (2) bake the logs a bit longer to dry out before slicing. Otherwise a big hit!

“A triumph, my dear! A triumph!” [Kudos if you know where that’s from.]
Made all three seasoning variations, and they’re all great! This recipe was easier than it looked, too! Thank you, Mellissa, for doing the grunt work for us all!

I am going to make these this weekend. One question, you have hemp hearts in the ingredient list and hemp seed in the instructions. I am not familiar with hemp (as a cooking ingredient). Just want to know what I’m looking for when I go to the store.
Btw, love your recipes. Your site is my favorite.
Lori says
Never mind. I actually researched the answer myself. Different terms for the same thing. Go figure.
Cindy VR says
I love your HOP bread and can’t wait to try this cracker version! What is “everything seasoning?”
Mellissa Sevigny says
It’s the seasoning they put on Everything bagels, you can make your own or purchase it premixed online or at most grocery stores.
