Did you know that you can make crackers at home…delicious crackers that are better for you than store-bought ones and totally not a big pain in the butt to make?! Assuming you use seasonings that are Gluten free these are also a tasty gluten free snack! These healthy homemade crackers remind me of the Simple Mills almond crackers–so delicious!
Are these baked crackers?
Yes! We all know that baking anything is the more healthy option. Frying these would probably work but it’s not very healthy and certainly doesn’t make them a good option for Weight Watchers or other weight loss diets! These healthy homemade crackers are delicious and baking them is the best way to get them cooked and crispy.
How many Weight Watchers Points are in these healthy homemade crackers?
The recipe serves 8 and that makes the points 7 per serving. The number of crackers per serving will depend how thinly you roll the dough and how big / small you cut the crackers. In this case your best bet is to just make them then divide the recipe into 8 portions so you know how many you can have for 7 Points on Blue, Green, and Purple Plans!
I calculated this information on the Weight Watchers website via the recipe creator. If you make changes or modifications, even small ones, you’ll need to recalculate this information for yourself to be sure you are tracking correctly!
Are these homemade herb crackers hard to make?
Not a all. Take a look at how easy they are to make right at home!
1. In the microwave, heat: ½ cup olive oil & ½ cup water for 20 seconds
2. Preheat oven to 325.
3. Cut two sheets of parchment paper – slightly larger than baking sheet (a large 12×17 rectangular pan is the perfect size for a nice batch of thin and crispy crackers).
4. Using a mixer, blend in the following into the water and olive oil mixture: ½ cup arrowroot, ½ cup almond meal, ½ cup tapioca flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 TBSP Italian seasoning, 1 TBSP dried oregano, (If dough is runny, add additional arrowroot and almond meal until dough is thin, yet not runny).
5. Lightly spray the parchment paper with olive oil. Place dough ball on parchment paper. Lightly spray other sheet and place on top of dough. Use a rolling pin to roll dough to size of baking sheet. (I roll it out on the counter first as my rolling pin is longer than my pan).
6. Lift both sheets of parchment paper and move to baking sheet. Using a wine bottle, roll out any areas that need it to fit the pan.
7. Remove top sheet of parchment paper and tap down any areas that overflow the pan. Using a pizza cutter, score the dough into cracker size pieces.
8. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until a slight golden brown. Cool on pan. Beak apart and store in an airtight container.
Helpful tips for making these healthy homemade crackers:
Here are some modifications you can use to make things a little easier if you want! After some trial and error I’ve discovered some little hacks :)
- Microwaved the oil and water 20 seconds.
- Roll the dough about 1/16″ thickness, but make sure you check it because it will brown quickly. I’d recommend starting at 15 minutes and then checking, adding 5 minutes at a time if your crackers need more.
- You can cut the crackers rather than scoring them! Just use a pizza cutter!

Do these homemade crackers stay crunchy?
They do, but only for a couple of days! Part of that might be storage, also because they’re homemade they’re not dried out quite as much as store-bought crackers. The good news is that this recipe doesn’t make hundreds of crackers. You’ll be able to enjoy them in a few days! They’re tasty, so they don’t last long around the house anyway!
