This graham cracker recipe was so easy and they turned out really delicious! My kitchen had a wonderful cinnamon smell as these cooked in the oven! They ended up being a little soft so they may be more like thin almond cookies but I may try cooking another batch longer to see if that helps, because there will be a second batch for sure. I'm not a paleo dieter but I took this recipe from a
Paleo Kid Snacks cookbook. I like looking through paleo recipes because they are, number one, gluten free, but they are also free from refined sugars and highly processed oils. There are quite a few restricted foods on the paleo diet like cheese that I really dig so I couldn't go all out!
Almond Graham Crackers
2 1/4 c. blanched almond meal (or finely ground almonds)
3 tbsp. coconut oil
3 tbsp. maple syrup
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl or stand mixer and mix on low until the dough begins to form a ball. Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper on a large cookie sheet.
Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough to an 1/8 thick. Pole holes in the dough every couple inches. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges begin to brown. Remove from the oven and immediately cut into squares with a pizza cutter.
Cool and enjoy!!
