Healthy Homemade Graham Crackers
Graham crackers are a nostalgic favorite for many, often evoking memories of childhood snacks and campfire s’mores. This healthy homemade version uses oat flour and coconut sugar, making them a nutritious alternative to store-bought options.
Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowls
- 1 Measuring cups and spoons
- 1 Fork
- 1 Rolling Pin
- 1 Baking sheets
- 1 Parchment paper
- 1 Knife or pizza cutter
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free oat flour
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar (e.g., Madhava Organic Coconut Sugar)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ to ⅓ cup water
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the oat flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Use a fork to mix until the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the oil.
- Create the Dough: Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a cohesive dough forms. The dough should be firm yet pliable, not too sticky.
- Roll Out the Dough: Lightly dust a clean surface with oat flour. Roll the dough out to about ⅛-inch thickness.
- Cut and Shape: Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 3-inch squares. For a traditional graham cracker look, use a fork to poke small holes in each square.
- Bake: Transfer the squares carefully onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through. The crackers should be golden brown around the edges.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring them to an airtight container.

Notes
Watch the Baking Time: Ovens can vary, so keep a close eye on the crackers as they bake. They should be golden brown at the edges but not too dark.
Customize Flavors: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for a spicier cracker, or a touch of cocoa powder for a chocolaty twist.
Dough Consistency: If the dough is too dry, add a bit more water. If too sticky, dust with additional oat flour.
