Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350F and grease 4 mini loaf pans well.

Step 2

Use a sharp knife to finely chop the cranberries, hazelnuts, and pumpkin seeds. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the almond flour, sweetener, baking soda and salt.

Step 3

Stir in the eggs, ½ cup water, and the apple cider vinegar until well combined. The mixture will be like a thick batter. It won’t be pourable but it should be scoopable. If it’s too thick to stir properly, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until it thins out.

Step 4

Divide the mixture among the prepared mini loaf pans and smooth the tops. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 5

Remove and let cool completely in the pans. Once cool, remove from the pans and place in the freezer for at least one hour. They need to be very firm for cutting but they shouldn’t be frozen solid.

Step 6

Preheat the oven again to 250F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 7

Use a large sharp non-serrated knife to slice as thinly as possible, no more than ¼ inch thick. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheets and bake 20 to 30 minutes, until browned and firm to the touch. Turn off the oven and let the crisps stay inside until completely cool.

Farm Team Tips:

It’s important to chop the dried cranberries and nuts up well, as larger pieces make it more difficult to slice the bread thinly. Very thin slices crisp up best.

The bread should be very cold before slicing. After you cool the bread, it should be popped in the freezer for an hour or two. You don’t want it frozen solid but it should be quite firm as you cut into it.

Slice using a really sharp non-serrated knife. Cut straight down to get thin slices, no more than 1/4 inch thick, so that they crisp up properly.

If your crisps get soft after sitting out for a while, you can simply crisp them back up in a 200F oven for 20 minutes or so.

So far, I've used walnuts and pecans (same quantities) and they turned out great. A hit with non lowcarb guests as well as our household!

Did your loafs rise? Mine didn't wondering what I did wrong.

Hi Debra, As indicated in the recipe the batter is very thick so it shouldn't necessarily rise as much as say a banana bread. Typically with a load of toppings like this recipe has, the batter is much denser therefore it will not rise as usually expected. If you are looking for more rise in your bread, you could reduce the number of toppings in the batter or simply coat the hazelnuts, seeds, and cranberries with a little bit of almond flour, and gently fold them into the batter. These tricks may get you a bit more rising.

We always encourage following your instincts in the kitchen! We think switching the nuts in this recipe should be fine, but we can't guarantee any nutritional information on a recipe that differs from the one we provided here. We hope that helps!

Oh my gosh these smell & taste amazing. HOW did you KNOW I had brie cheese that needed a new cracker recipe? Hubby kept asking if I'd tasted them yet & how incredible they smelled baking. For sure a WINNER. I was in a time crunch, didn't read all the helpful hints so may be a repeat but turning loaves over & slicing from the bottom was much easier.

This is one of my favorite recipes. I have been eating keto for about one year now and these crackers fill the crunch spot I miss sometimes. They are a staple for us.

Has anyone made these in two regular loaf pans instead of 4 minis? If so, what was the cook time?

We haven't tried that ourselves, but your best bet is to start with a 50 minute bake time (check for doneness at that point, then continue baking as needed, checking every 5-10 minutes or so), then another 30 minutes for them to crisp up.

I tasted these right out of the oven, and immediately grabbed the toasted hazelnuts to make up a second batch. These are delicious. I did make some changes, and I love how they turned out both as bread and as crackers. I added 1/2 teaspoon yeast to the 1/2 c of water (made it warm water). Not so much for rise as for that yeast flavor. I cut back on the baking soda, to 1.5 teaspoons. I also added 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (fresh would be even better!) and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger. I threw the cranberries, nuts, and spices into my food processor. I don’t get the same beautiful sliced nuts, but it’s super easy and keeps my hands from hurting, so I found it worth the trade off. These are going to be a holiday tradition, beginning this year.

I baked these tonight and left the Erythritol out completely. I used freeze dried raspberries as they are fairly low carb and nice and tart. They came out great! I will add rosemary next time for sure. I can’t wait to dive into some brea with these on Thursday. Hoping they stay crisp.

That's wonderful news, Kathryn! Rosemary sounds like a delicious addition. Thanks for giving the recipe a try - we know it'll be a huge hit on Thanksgiving! If you run into any issues with crispiness, feel free to pop them in a 200F oven for 20 minutes or so to get that crunch back.

Hi Jen, it looks like a few others have tried the recipe without sweeteners and had success! If you want to substitute more dried or freeze-dried cranberries or another fruit of your choice, that's always an option. Hope they turn out well!

What can sub to get the typical rain crisp brown color if using white erythritol? Or is baking enough to brown it? All about presentation.

Hi Nancy, you can go ahead and use white erythritol if that's what you have on hand. You're right on the money: the baking process is what browns the crisps. Let us know if we can answer any other questions for you!

Great question, Susan. We recommend storing the crisps in an airtight container in your pantry or cupboard. If they lose some of their crunch during storage, you can always pop them back in the oven for a few minutes to help them crisp up again.

Hey Lindsay, we're not quite sure if egg substitutes would work in this recipe. Most of them seem to contain potato starch, which isn't ideal for a low-carb or keto diet - but if that's something you aren't worried about, feel free to give it a try!

Absolutely, Marsha! You can substitute the erythritol with anything from monkfruit to stevia.

These are delicious! They'll be a wonderful snack for when everyone else is munching on chip & dip, I'll have these all ready for my brie. I actually loved the bread before it was sliced and baked. It would be wonderful with a thick slab of butter with my eggs at breakfast.

We're so glad that you enjoyed the recipe, Vickie. These crisps are a lifesaver when you're surrounding by those starchy holiday snacks. We haven't thought to try this as bread rather than sliced crisps, but it sounds like we need to!
