Keto Fathead Crackers & Baba Ganoush
It’s crispy and delicious and made without egg
I recently discovered the wonders of a well cooked eggplant and Baba Ganoush is an incredible way to use eggplant. This delicious spread is the perfect keto snack and along with these awesome and super easy to make Keto Fathead Crackers. What I can imagine most people jumping for joy about is the fact that the crackers use no egg for binding. The cheese itself is what crisps up and holds everything together. The Baba ganoush itself is full of flavour and honestly I could eat it as is. Either way this will be your perfect Keto snack and it’s great when entertaining people as well. Enjoy!
It’s like hummus with eggplant
Speaking of hummus, do you miss it on the Keto diet? Well I got you covered with this kick ass Keto Hummus recipe. If you look at the recipes of both dishes they are pretty much the same apart from the chick pea and the egg plant difference. I wonder what other veggies we can use to create more amazing dips like this. Leave me your suggestions. If you need some more eggplant recipes I got a lovely eggplant parm and an eggplant involtini which I would recommend you try.

Been searching for a Fathead cracker recipe. You just made my day! I am HOOKED on your YT Channel!!
Hi, I just got introduced to your youtube videos by a friend and love the simplicity of your recipes, your enthusiasm but is there anyway you can put the measurements in Cups as in the US we are used to Cups or Tbsp instead of the gms. Please, it would be SO helpful! I tried your Dosa recipe & it was AMAZING because I like crispy stuff. I have subscribed to your channel even though I am not on the Keto diet.
There is an auto converter in the recipe box. But please buy a scale and use that it’s more accurate.
Hi JN
Love Sahils recipes. I have coverted some of the most used measures into cups.
100gm mozarella is 1 Cup
25 gm cream cheese is 1 Tbsp
50 gm Almond flour is 1/2 Cup.
Hope it helps
I agree. I have a scale, but in America, we use the American measurement. Some people cannot afford a scale. Please use 1 cup, 1/2 cup, etc, so we are not inconvenienced!!!
I have been complaining about this on a number of channels. But finally, I gave in and bought a decent food scale. And guess what? It’s way easier to use the scale. Use the same container over and over to weigh ingredients. Then dump them in something else. This results in having less dishes to wash, too.
Can the crackers be made with coconut flour?
Could work, try with half the amount of coconut flour.
What can we use instead of cream cheese?
I’ve used Daiya cream cheese which is a cream cheese substitute. works well with fathead dough. I’ve also switched up the cheese to use Daiya shreds with excellent results. It’s a bit more oily but my results are great for many recipes calling for fathead dough . I follow the rest of the recipe as written. I’m in Canada where we can buy Daiya cheeses (not a soy product FYI)
I’ll be using this one a lot from now on. Delicious as prepared in this recipe, this eggless dough is relatively pliable when warm and can be used for a number of ways. I’ve used it to make appetizers such as baked ravioli or eggrolls. It freezes well unbaked, too, so you can make them ahead and keep them onhand.
Hi. Once making these how do I store these and how long will they last? Thanks
Couple of days, not sure if they remain crispy though.
Hello Sahil,
Just starting into Keto, I found your movies and am really enjoying your creative style, beautiful cooking and cut-to-the-chase personality!
I loved your “cauliflower is the new potato” moto, and I bumped into something today that I thought I would share with you.
I had some raw zucchini left from a dish I prepared so I just cut it into big chunks and threw it into the micro.
When it came out I slathered it with apple vinegar, some olive oil and a sprinkling of Marjoram. Then, I stuck in the fridge and more or less forget about it.
Some time later – I was roving for a snack – and decided to try it.
Amazingly – the zucchini had absorbed the taste of the apple vinegar and its 12 minutes in the microwave had given it an apple-like consistency, and I found myself thinking of you, smiling foolishly, and mumbling: “Zucchini is the new apple”…
All the best
Shakhar
haha that’s pretty cool will try that sometime!
Thank you I am a new subscriber and look forward to learning more about your reciepes. Where do I get a grill like your used on stove for eggplant?
Valerie I got that on Amazon. I’m sure you can find one there as well.
I got mine off Amazon in the UK (which is where I am based) https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B019G5KRD4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . I put CHAPATHI GRILL into the search box and several different ones came up.
Hi Sahil
Can I make a big batch?
How do I store these?
Thanks
Yes you can, you’d want to put them in an airtight container. I think maybe 24 hours they can be left on the counter but after that in the fridge I would think.
I’m freaking out too! It is soo delicious! I don’t have a gas burner so tried under the broiler. It got cooked, but not really charred, so I think I’m gonna try slicing it before broiling it and see if I can get a more charred flavor. Without the char it was wonderful anyway!
I had to stop myself from eating the whole darn bowlful. In fact, I think I’m going back and just finishing it or it will haunt my dreams. MAN! That is gooood.
For switching to US measurements, most of us don’t have scales at home, we have measuring spoons and measuring cups.
Well Kim please buy one. It’s time for America to change. Just like you accepted the Keto diet over the standard American one please accept the scale over cup measures as they are widely inaccurate and not practical. A scale costs less than 10$ and you can use it to portion out your food as well and truly be aware of how much food you eat. The madness of measuring broccoli and chicken in cups has to stop 🙂
Making recipes by weight is so much easier than by cups. Scales are very cheap
Is there are possibility to bake this with An other flour? Because I’m allergic to almond…
I guess any ‘nut’ flour will do. You can make it with coconut flour but I am 100% sure it won’t be crispy.
Sunflower flour I have used in place of almonds and other nuts.
Made these for a holiday party. Instead of hummus, we topped with cheese and pepperoni. My husband loves them and he’s not doing low carb! Great cracker recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Sahil hi! Is it ok to sub the mozzarella with cheddar? Lock down now and ingredients are just not available even in supermarkets. Made cream cheese at home (yay!) but doubtful about home-made mozzarella.Have a whole block of cheddar. Let me know. Thanks!
You can try it with a small portion of cheddar because cheddar is a bit different from mozzarella in texture and fat content so perhaps try a half portion maybe. It should work but you might have to work at it a bit more.
Sahil – I have a gas stove but I’m not sure how to ‘roast the eggplant on the stove”.
Just watch the video I show you how.
