Vegan-Made Graham Crackers

Sometimes you have to choose between taste and appearance, so I chose taste. These may not be the most classy looking graham crackers you’ve ever seen, but they sure are tasty.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? So behold these little unconventional beauties…nubbly is the new beautiful.

I wanted a dough that I could roll out and cut and poke holes in. A cracker that was sweet and crunchy. Well that didn’t happen. I made multiple batches that looked from-the-box perfect, but they tasted boring and didn’t have the right crunch.

So I stuck to what I know. And what I know is that these graham crumbles were delicious, and I want a cracker that tasted just the same. So I tweaked that recipe a little and made the world’s first no-roll graham crackers!

By the way, these graham crackers have only 3 (maybe 4) ingredients. It seems that less really is more in life and graham crackers. It also seems that I am just full of cliches (and graham crackers) today.

Substitutions: Since I was on a graham cracker making streak, I tested out a few different flours and sweeteners, too. Maple syrup can be used in place of the bee free honee, and I’m sure agave would work as well. I made a batch with brown rice flour, and they turned out lighter in color and a bit drier. I also made a batch with whole wheat flour, and the dough was roll-outable, but the cookies weren’t as crunchy. Those are just my experiments, let me know if you try anything else.

The authentic graham flour + honee version is definitely my favorite. I found graham flour at my local natural grocery store, but you can order it online too. Same goes for the bee free honee.

Vegan-Made Graham Crackers

Makes 6 squares

1 cup graham flour

1/3 cup Bee Free Honee (or maple syrup)

1 tsp cinnamon

1-2 tbsps water if needed

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. Stir together the flour and cinnamon.
  3. Add the Honee and mix. You will need to use your hands and knead the dough.
  4. The dough should be quite moist and almost hold together in a ball. If a few crumbles fall of the ball when you knead it, that’s okay. If its too dry, add 1 (maybe 2) tablespoons of water.
  5. Press the dough out into a rectangle on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. The dough should be a maximum of 1/4 inch thick. Press together any crumbly edges or cracks, use wet hands if needed.
  6. With a knife, cut off the ragged edges.
  7. Cut the rectangle into two rows of three squares. Each square should be about 2 1/2 to 3 inches wide.
  8. Use your knife lightly to create the line in center of each square. Use a fork to poke the holes.
  9. Bake at 350F for 15 minutes until the edges are just lightly brown.
  10. They must cool before they will be crunchy.
  11. Store in an airtight container. Just like store-bought graham crackers, they can lose their crunch quite easily.

    These look amazing! Regrettably, I am celiac, do you know if gluten free flour can be used instead? Or any other type of gluten free flours, like rice or sorghum flour?

      Yep, these can definitely be GF! I made a batch with brown rice flour in place of the graham flour, and while they look and taste a bit different they totally work! If you scroll though the post I even have a picture of them (they’re the pale ones). I’ve never tried it with oat flour, but a GF oat flour would probably work too 🙂 Hope that helps!

    I’m plotting a way to turn this recipe into a graham cracker crust, which I’ve missed since eliminating added fats from our vegan lives because that is what I love to use for our vegan pumpkin pies, especially. Just discovered your website via Twitter (yay!) so for all I know you already have a graham cracker crust recipe on it, but that is the first happy thought I had when I saw this recipe. ?

    Happy Holidays!

      I think this recipe could very easily be turned into a graham cracker crust! I don’t actually have such a recipe because I’ve gone in a GF direction lately so all my crusts are made with GF flour instead of graham flour. But graham flour and just enough honee (or maple syrup even) to get a crumbly press-in texture sounds promising. And with pumpkin pie inside, YUM! I’m so happy you stumbled upon my site 🙂

    S’mores were my absolute favorite birthday treat until the doctor told me to go gluten free just over a year ago. I can’t wait to try these in the GF options. You may have saved my birthday for me!

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
