Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten free 1 to 1 flour
- ½ cup gluten free oat flour
- ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup brown sugar (tightly packed)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Pinch sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup melted butter (regular or vegan)
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp milk (regular or dairy free)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together gluten free 1 to 1 flour, gluten free oat flour, almond flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, pure maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully mixed.
- Form Dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spoon until a dough forms, then use your hands if necessary to fully incorporate all ingredients into a uniform dough.
- Roll Out Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out evenly to about ⅛ inch thickness. This ensures thin and crispy crackers.
- Cut Shapes: Use a cookie cutter or pizza slicer to cut the dough into your desired shapes or squares, then carefully transfer them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Optionally, pierce each cracker lightly with a fork.
- Bake: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges turn a nice golden brown, indicating crispiness.
- Cool Completely: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack. This cooling step helps them firm up perfectly.
- Serve: Once cooled and crisp, serve and enjoy your homemade gluten free graham crackers as a snack or in your favorite desserts.
Notes
- Ensure dough is rolled evenly to avoid some crackers baking faster than others.
- If the dough is too sticky, chill it briefly in the refrigerator before rolling out.
- You can substitute butter with coconut oil to make it dairy free and vegan-friendly.
- Store crackers in an airtight container to maintain crispness for up to one week.
- These crackers can be used as a base for gluten free pie crusts or dessert toppings.
