Easy Homemade Honey Graham Crackers

Want to know a little fun fact? I've made these easy graham crackers for years and years, and because you can cut them out into any sort of shape, I taught all my kids how to spell their names by cutting the crackers into the letters of their names. Isn't that the most fun?! It's a sweet tradition that I've remembered to keep for all 5 kiddos, and it makes it so much more exciting for them to learn from a tasty snack!

These crackers couldn't be easier to make, so much that it's not even worth it to ever buy the version from the store again if you ask me! These are just a bit more flavorful and tasty because they're homemade, plus you know all the ingredients going into them! Win win. Feel free to treat them like sugar cookies and cut them out into shapes using cookie cutters, or just use a pizza slicer to cut them into regular squares. Either way, this will be a new favorite household snack that the whole family enjoys!

What gives graham crackers their flavors?

Graham crackers are lightly sweetened and spiced crunchy crackers -- the main flavors come from using cinnamon and honey in the cracker batter!

What is the main ingredient in graham crackers?

These homemade graham crackers are pretty simple and don't have a whole lot of ingredients. They're made from whole wheat flour, sucant (or dehydrated cane juice), baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, honey, water, vanilla, and butter. You could also use brown sugar in place of the sucant and coconut oil in place of butter!

Are graham crackers healthier than cookies?

Graham crackers are made with some nutritious ingredients, like whole wheat flour, cinnamon, and the natural sweetener honey. Just like cookies or anything else, I believe they're just fine in moderation!

How long do graham crackers last?

What do you eat graham crackers with?

Mmmm, you can eat graham crackers with so many yummy things! They're great all by themselves, or you can top them with peanut butter (or any nut butter), honey, nutella, marshmallow fluff, frosting, jam, or any other favorite slightly sweet topping!

How to make graham crackers:

1. Place all your dry ingredients in your mixer bowl and combine.
2. Add all of the wet ingredients and mix with the cookie paddle attachment.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
4. Divide the dough in half and roll out on a floured surface. Roll to about ¼-inch thick. Use a pizza cutter and cut out squares.
5. Place the cut-out crackers on an un-greased cookie sheet and bake for 8 to 12 minutes.
6. They will harden up more as they cool. Store in an airtight container for about a week.
