Almond Thins

1 cup almond flour
1 egg white
pinch of salt, garlic powder, & onion powder

Preheat oven 325. Mix ingredients well. Place mixture onto a well greased piece of tin foil. Spray a piece of wax paper with cooking spray and lay over top of mixture. Use a rolling pin to roll out to a cracker thickness. Gently remove wax paper. Sprinkle more salt on top if desired and press lightly into dough. Score with knife or pizza cutter into squares. Lay tin foil on rack in oven. Bake until golden brown about 10 minutes. Makes around 50 crackers.

Variations from some other folks:

Kiwigal’s version

Nomosketti’s variation

Half almond flour, half flax meal, add some splenda, cinnamon, coconut extract and some flaked coconut. YUMMERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS….topped with cream cheese. Just dont burn ‘em like I did

Deb34’s variation

add some vanilla extract and lemon extract and sprinkle the top with some granular sweetener and you could have a good substitute for lemon sugar cookies….of course i mean don’t put in any of the savory ingredients like salt and pepper

What I like to do

Replace the spices with taco seasoning and then dust the top with a bit of salt and parmesan cheese
