These 2-ingredient cottage cheese crackers are crispy, savory, and incredibly easy to make. With just cottage cheese and almond flour, I can whip up a batch of gluten-free crackers that are perfect for snacking or pairing with my favorite dips.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s quick, simple, and doesn’t require a long list of ingredients. The crackers turn out crunchy on the outside with a light cheesy flavor that pairs perfectly with spreads, cheese boards, or soups. I also enjoy that I can switch up the seasoning with garlic, rosemary, or thyme for a different flavor each time I make them.

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 lighter version)

• Pinch of salt

• Optional: herbs or spices for extra flavor (garlic powder, rosemary, or thyme)

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, I combine cottage cheese, almond flour, salt, and any extra herbs or spices. I mix until a smooth dough forms.

2. I roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a thin rectangle or circle. Then I cut it into squares or shapes with a knife or pizza cutter.

3. I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C). I place the cut crackers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden and crisp.

4. I let the crackers cool completely before serving to get that perfect crunch.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 30 small crackers, enough for 4 servings as a snack. It takes around 10 minutes to prepare the dough and 15–20 minutes to bake, so I can have a crunchy homemade snack ready in under 30 minutes.

Variations

I like to experiment with different flours such as oat flour for a lighter texture or chickpea flour for a nuttier taste. I also enjoy adding sesame seeds, chia seeds, or shredded parmesan on top before baking. For a spicier version, I mix in paprika or chili flakes.

storage/reheating

I store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If they lose their crunch, I reheat them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5 minutes to crisp them up again.

FAQs

Can I make these crackers dairy-free?

Yes, I can replace cottage cheese with a dairy-free cottage cheese alternative, though the texture may be slightly different.

Can I freeze the crackers?

I prefer not to freeze the baked crackers since they lose their crispness, but I can freeze the unbaked dough and bake it fresh when needed.

How do I make the crackers extra crispy?

I roll the dough as thin as possible and make sure to bake until golden brown. Letting them cool fully also helps lock in the crunch.

Can I use regular flour instead of almond or oat flour?

Yes, I can use all-purpose flour, but the texture will be slightly less nutty and the crackers may not be gluten-free.

What can I serve these crackers with?

I like serving them with hummus, guacamole, cheese, or even crumbled over salads for extra crunch.

Conclusion

These cottage cheese crackers are one of my favorite quick and healthy snacks. I love how easy they are to make with just two main ingredients, and the fact that I can customize the flavors makes them even better. Whether I eat them plain, with a dip, or as a crunchy topping, they always satisfy my craving for something savory and crispy.
