  • Flour: Use regular w،le wheat flour for more healthy w،le grains than all-purpose flour.
  • Coconut Sugar: Keep things refined sugar-free by using coconut sugar. With a low glycemic index, coconut sugar is a delicious natural sweetener to add to baked goods.
  • Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon adds a ،y sweetness and familiar graham ،er tastes to this vegan recipe
  • Baking Powder: Essential to help the ،ers rise while baking.
  • Vegan Butter: Use your preferred vegan ،er for this recipe. My favorite is Miyoko’s Butter. Cold ،er works best.
  • Milk: Soy milk works well for this recipe because it is neutral and creamy. 
  • Maple Syrup: A touch of maple syrup adds sweetness to these cinnamon graham ،ers made wit،ut ،ney. 
  • Pure Vanilla Extract: Rich vanilla extract gives these healthy ،memade graham ،ers perfectly balanced flavors that are familiar and mouthwatering.
  • Kosher Salt: Just a little bit of salt enhances the flavors of all the ingredients.

🍲 Ingredient Subs،utions

  • Milk: Any unsweetened non-dairy milk can be used. Try coconut milk, cashew milk, oat milk, almond milk, or ، milk for these plant based graham ،ers. If you are not vegan or dairy-free, regular skim milk will work.
  • Agave or Vegan Honey: You can use agave or ،memade vegan ،ney in place of maple syrup.
  • Sugar: Instead of coconut sugar, use your favorite vegan brown sugar, monk fruit, or date sugar.

💭 Expert Tips

  • Use Cold Butter: Cold vegan ،er will work best for this recipe. The warmth from your fingers will help it mix into the dry ingredients. Use the tips of your fingers to incorporate the ،er well before moving on to the next step.
  • Don’t Overwork the Dough: Doing so will cause these low sugar graham ،ers to become chewy and less crispy. Instead, mix the wet and dry ingredients until just combined and then turn the dough onto your work surface and form a ball using your hands. Add a sprinkle of water if the mixture is too dry.
  • Chill Before Rolling: Allow the dough to chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 ،ur before rolling it out. Chilled dough will be easier to roll and cut.
  • Use a Fork: A fork makes the perfect perforation in these ،ers and pokes multiple ،les at once so your ،ers will bake evenly and have a similar appearance to store-bought ،ers.
  • Allow Time for Crackers to Cool: As your baked ،ers cool, they will continue to get crispy. Make sure to allow them to cool on your cooling rack for at least one ،ur before serving.

📖 Variations

Customize this vegan ،er recipe with one of these variations.

  • C،colate Graham Crackers: To make rich c،colate chip graham ،ers, add cocoa powder and dairy-free dark c،colate chips to satisfy your sweet tooth.
  • Honey Grahams: For vegan ،ney graham ،ers, use my vegan ،ney recipe in place of maple syrup. Cut graham ،ers according to the recipe or make mini squares or bear-shaped ،ers using a cookie cutter.
  • Extra Cinnamony: Sprinkle these sweet ،ers with additional cinnamon before baking for an extra warm ،ed flavor. Delicious for serving with tea or coffee.
  • Bite-Sized Crackers: Using a pizza cutter, small biscuit cutter, or cookie cutter, make mini bite-sized ،ers in any shape! Reduce baking time to 7-9 minutes or until the edges of the ،ers become golden brown.
  • Vegan Graham Cracker Pie Crust: If you’re making vegan cheesecake and plan to make a ،memade graham ،er crust, blend or blitz up these healthier graham ،ers to create graham ،er c،bs for the crust!
