Crackers are a problem because even the lowest ones are around 3g carbs each which means that I can have 2 with a meal tops.
So using a bit of a recipe on the net and what I had in the cupboard, I made these;
The ingredients are;
100g Almond Flour (ground almonds)
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons cold water
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons raisins
3 teaspoons sunflower seeds
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
Bung everything in a food processor except 1 teaspoon of the sunflower seeds and combine everything. This takes no time at all. Then add the last teaspoon of sunflower seeds and give it one last whizz.
Form the dough into a ball in your hands and then your need to roll it out between two sheets of greaseproof paper. You need to roll it until it's about 1/8th inch thick. Too thin and they will burn in the oven (one of my batches did). That's about the thickness of a beer mat - maybe a little more. Then peel away the top sheet of paper and use a sharp knife to cut the dough in to squares (but not through the paper below).
Then carefully transfer the paper with the squares on it on to a baking tray. This means you don't need to lift them or grease the tray. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. You might want to spin the tray in the oven half way through to keep things even.
I made about 16 crackers, though I did cut them quite small. I calculate that the whole batch is around 5g carbs - or 0.31g per crackerand they are honestly really tasty.
Now where's that jar of Marmite !

Oh Pate - I'd forgotten all about Pate ! yay - I'm going to make another batch..
I shock people at work by eating pate out of the pack with a knife. They all think it's kind of disgusting and cat-foody, unless you smear it on carbohydrate.

Do you eat yours smothered in butter? Thought not.
