I have been working on these whole wheat graham crackers for what feels like F-O-R-E-V-E-R. I finally nailed it, and just in time. Remember I shared that yogurt berry parfait with you last week? Well, the recipe calls for graham crackers to be crushed and sprinkled on top. These homemade cookies are your guys! Forget about the store-bought versions – these crunchy little delights are full of only goodness and taste absolutely amazing.
I don’t know what it is about Graham Crackers, I mean they are pretty plain, but I am totally addicted. We don’t have them in Australia, and I feel like I went a wee bit wild with the graham cracker consumption when we first moved to the U.S. We all have our weaknesses right?
I had to go cold turkey (I have mentioned my lack of willpower many a time 😛 ), but vowed to come up with a homemade version so I could still get my crunchy biscuit fix. After close to twenty attempts, I finally (finally) have it.
If you give these cinnamon whole wheat graham crackers a go, be sure to whip up a yogurt berry parfait for breakfast, and sprinkle some crackers on top. So good.
- 2 cup plus 3 tbsp whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup unrefined coconut oil
- 1/4 cup water
- Preheat oven to 350F
- In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients. Make a well in the middle and pop in the wet ingredients. Mix together to form a ball
- Pop the dough ball onto a piece of parchment paper, pop another piece of parchment paper on top and roll the dough out to a very thin width (think graham cracker width)
- Cut into squares and place on a cookie sheet
- Bake for 13-15 mins, the longer you leave them the crunchier they will get. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack
- Store in an airtight container

Yumm. How long do these stay fresh?
Donna1 says
In an airtight container they should be good for a week or two (although they have never lasted that long in our house 🙂 )
Anjali @ Vegetarian Gastronomy says
These sound delicious, healthy, and so much better than the store-bought version! Not to mention love how easy they seem. I’m going to have to try this for the kids soon!
Donna1 says
They are definitely better than store bought 🙂 We have whipped up so many batches, and my kids are big fans (and so am I 🙂 )!
Uma Srinivas says
Home made crackers are best! Love to make these some days!
Mel @ avirtualvegan.com says
I had never heard of graham crackers until we moved to Canada and haven’t actually tried one yet as they are usually not vegan. Yours look lovely though. I love the addition of the cinnamon in there and the lovely colour. Delicious!
Donna1 says
Yeah they must definitely be a US/Candaian thing. I was totally addicted, but I actually prefer this vegan version to the originals (if I do say so myself) 🙂
Ginny McMeans says
I am so excited about this! Really looking forward to making these. PInned!
Donna1 says
Oh yay, I hope you enjoy them as much as we do 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I need to make my own “graham” crackers one day! I always loved them!
Donna1 says
They are super easy 🙂
Laura says
Homemade crackers are SOOOO much better than store bought! I have made graham crackers before and they are such a treat!
Donna1 says
They are definitely better hey! Always seems like such a hassle to make them, but the pay-off is so worth it 🙂
