Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2.25 cups whole wheat flour
  • 0.33 cup Sucanat dehydrated cane juice (or brown sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 0.25 cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup butter melted

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, Sucanat (or brown sugar), baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
  2. Add the honey, warm water, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix with a dough hook attachment on a stand mixer (or by hand with a sturdy spoon) until the dough just comes together. The dough should not be sticky and will be moderately greasy.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly flour a clean surface and divide the dough in half. Roll out each half of the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  4. Using a pizza cutter or a knife, cut the dough into desired cracker shapes (squares or rectangles are common). You can also use cookie cutters for fun shapes.
  5. Place the cut crackers onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown. They will crisp up more as they cool.
  6. Let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to an airtight container for storage. They will keep for about a week.

Notes

These homemade graham crackers are best enjoyed within a week. For extra crispiness, you can even lightly toast them again in a low oven before serving.
