    I haven’t made these but knowing chickpea flour is high in carbohydrates I checked the recipe on my diet tracker. Assuming you can make 30 from this recipe, it works out at 3.5 grams of carbs per cracker. Not too bad if you can stop at one but if you eat two or three it’s not a low carb snack.

    Tried this recipe for the first time – never used chickpea flour before and pleasantly surprised with the result. I probably need to experiment more with herbs & spices to get a fuller flavour but these go a long way to filling the void left by the pitta breads & shop-bought crackers I was eating before embarking on this diet. Thanks for posting this recipe.

    Made my first batch of these today with half the amount of dough. They worked really well and I made matchbox size crackers with Italian seasoning and a small grating of Parmesan cheese.

    I made these crackers and they are great. I got 60 out of your recipe and according to Rose Elliott there are 18.2 useable carbs in 100g of chick pea flour. One cup of flour weigh out at 116 grams so the recipe has 232g at 72.4 divide into 60 crackers so about 1.2 carbs per cracker. Remember these carbs are slow release too!

    Made these twice now. A real winner. Rolled mine between 1 to 1.5 mm thick and made about 75.
    5 mins in fan at 200oC then out and brush with beaten egg and milk + salt (3 at a time) then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Back in oven for 2 mins.
    Love the way the “dough” is slightly sticky and forms together well under rolling between cling film.

    Highly recommended.
