When we created this recipe, it was an instant hit in our home. These versatile crackers are crunchy, cheesy and perfect for dipping.
It took only seconds for us to look at each other and identify what they tasted exactly like. At the very same time, we both said it: Goldfish crackers. Jinx!!
You can serve these crackers on a charcuterie board, dip them into sauces or curries, or snack on them all by their onesies. It’s no surprise that they’ve become a favourite gluten-free, keto-friendly cracker.
What did surprise us was how long they stayed crunchy! Leave them in a sealed container on the kitchen counter, and they’ll stay crunchy for days.

Ingredients
For the Crackers
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tbsp egg protein powder or collagen powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp pepper
- ¼ tsp xanthan gum (optional)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
Prepare the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, egg protein or collagen powder, garlic powder, parsley, pepper and xanthan gum, if using. Set aside.
Melt the cheese. Place the shredded mozzarella in a medium-sized, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring as needed, until the cheese is melted.
Make the dough. Add the dry ingredients to the melted cheese and mix well until a thick dough forms.

Roll it out. Place a large sheet of parchment paper on your countertop. Put the dough on top and cover it with a second sheet of similar size. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to a thickness of approximately ⅛–⅙ inch.
Cut the crackers. Use a firm plastic spatula, pizza cutter or dough knife to cut the dough into squares of your desired size. Ours were a little over an inch wide. Cut each square diagonally to create triangles.

Arrange and bake. Transfer the triangles to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden.

Cool completely. Remove from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet before removing them. They’ll crisp up as they cool.
Recipe Notes
- Storage: Keep the Goldfish Crackers in a sealed container on the countertop. Do not refrigerate.
- Crunch factor: Let the crackers cool completely before storing them to help preserve their crispness.
Nutrition and Macro Information
We no longer provide macros for our recipes. Read why here: Why We’re Dropping Serving Sizes.
We strongly recommend calculating your own macros based on the brands you use and any alterations you make to the recipe.
Our books include a nutrition snapshot, but it illustrates how the macros can look if you follow the recipe exactly, use the same branded ingredients and stick to the specified serving sizes.
Since it’s almost impossible to replicate those conditions perfectly, calculate your own macros based on the brands and ingredients you use, your final yield and how much you consume.
Never blindly trust your keto or macro calculations to an app, a person, a website or a product


As soon as I get some egg protein I’ll have to give these a try.
The egg protein can be omitted, but I would recommend grabbing some in preparation for book 3. 😉
I can’t wait for book 3 to come out!!
I have 1 & 2 and love them!
Thanks for sharing.
It’s fantastic…crackers. I miss crackers with my cheese & olives. Do you have a preference between Egg protein or collagen powder that is acceptable “clean”? Can they both be bought in a health food store? Ruby
You’re gonna love these Ruby! They’re very easy to customize. I use the egg white powder, you can omit this, but it adds to the texture. I’d recommend that you pick up a bag from amazon or online…(simply for life sometimes carries it as well), in anticipation of book 3. Ingredient should be just the egg white
