Gluten-Free and Vegan Graham Crackers

I was hoping to make pie crust with these graham crackers from Oh She Glows but they disappeared before we had a chance to make the pie! They are surprisingly delicious on their own and even better with nut butter and cocoa powder sprinkled on top. 

These crackers far exceeded my expectations. I look forward to making pie crust with them one day.


Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil (melt in a saucepan before using)
  • 3 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground flax
  • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons almond flour
  • 1/2 cup millet flour
  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats, processed into a flour
  • 5 tablespoons tapioca starch
  • 2 tablespoons maple flakes
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2.  
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients.
  4.  
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
  6.  
  7. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir well, until there are no dry patches of flour left.
  8.  
  9. Form the dough into 2-3 balls. Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin. Roll out each ball of dough until you have a rectangle that is about 1/8 inch thick. The dough will crack a bit, but this is normal.
  10.  
  11. Cut the crackers into the shapes of your choice using a cookie cutter, pizza slicer or ravioli cutter. Place each piece onto the baking sheet, about a 1/2-inch apart. Poke a few fork holes into each cracker.
  12.  
  13. Bake for 10 minutes. Carefully flip each cracker with a spatula, rotate the pan and return crackers to the oven for 6-7 minutes, until golden. Carefully, transfer the crackers to a cooling rack for 15 minutes.
  14.  
  15. Store crackers in a glass jar or container on the counter. I haven't tried it, but apparently you can freeze them too. 
 
Once processed, this recipe makes about 3 cups of graham cracker crumbs.
