I based these crackers off of my super popular homemade Ritz cracker recipe. It’s a simple dough made by food processing flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, butter, and creamy peanut butter.

I spent weeks developing the copycat recipe so that it would taste as close to the original as possible and would use natural ingredients. These are made without high fructose corn syrup and without partially hydrogenated oils.

After experiencing cheddar cheese crisps made with just one ingredient, I wondered why we mess around with flour or butter or anything else in cheese cracker recipes. These taste just like crunchy cheese. They are super crisp and couldn’t be any easier to make. Plus, they are gluten-free, low-carb, and Keto-friendly! They are one of my all-time favorite snack recipes!

These homemade oyster crackers are a spot-on stunt double for the real thing. They are totally perfect served with chili!

Why make homemade oyster crackers?

I make homemade oyster crackers, Ritz crackers, graham crackers, and peanut butter crackers because it’s fun to do and it gives me complete control over the food that I’m eating. Making anything from scratch – like oyster crackers – is something I particularly love to do with my son. I want him to understand that food doesn’t magically appear in a bag.

It’s nice to have a homemade graham cracker recipe on hand for pie crusts, s’mores (or s’mores cupcakes), and snacking. People inherently understand the value of a homemade chocolate chip cookie or brownies made from scratch. However, even seasoned bakers seem to turn to a box rather than a homemade graham cracker recipe. Although, not as simple as buying a box, this graham cracker recipe is fresher than the boxed variety, slightly less sweet, easy to make, and you can make the graham crackers in any shape you like!
