If you need a healthy snack to bring to playgroup, try this one!
It is so easy to make and oh so delicious to eat!
I found this recipe a few places (Little Birdie Secrets and Feeling Lovesome), but since the recipe was not original to either blogger, I am publishing it here in its entirety. I didn’t change a thing – it’s perfect.
Homemade Graham Crackers
(makes 16 large crackers)
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup honey
1. Mix dry ingredients together and set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the honey and melted butter.
3. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together. The mixture will be very wet.
4. Grease a baking sheet (I used a 10 x 12 inch) and scoop the mixture onto it.
I like to put parchment paper on top and then roll it with a rolling pin. This way I don’t have any sticking.
5. Roll the dough to the edges of the baking sheet.
6. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes, or until the top starts to brown. I needed just 8 minutes.
7. Immediately use a pizza cutter to cut into individual pieces.
8. Let the crackers cool on a wire baking rack. You can see how thick ours turned out.
Use a larger baking sheet if you want them thinner and crispier.
9. Enjoy!

These look great! I am looking for a healthier alternative to store bought crackers. How long will these last?
annageig says
Great question, Vicky – they’ve only lasted a couple of days in our house! Actually I put them in my husband’s office so I don’t eat all of them ! 😛 They do get pretty crispy, so sometimes I pop them in the microwave for a few seconds. But we like them crunchy too.

I hope your little guy likes them as much as my kids do!
Gill says
Is it 133 calories for one cracker?
annageig says
Yes, it is Gill – but the crackers are quite large and thick (it’s the butter that does it). You can definitely have smaller portion sizes.
Becca says
Does it have to be pastry flour?
Anna Geiger says
I just use that because it makes the texture lighter, but I think you could use whole wheat flour just fine. I would think all purpose would definitely work, too.
