cinnamon-honey Graham crackers (whole wheat)

Comments : 72 Posted in : Crackers, Eggless cookies on by : apsara Tags: , ,

 

Who wouldn’t like some freshly baked honey Grahams? With a hint of cinnamon, crisp and served with a cup of tea? All the party-goers at Fiesta Friday #15, here’s a snack to get us warmed up…

My goal was to get it to taste like the Honey Maid grahams, pictured here, but with 100% whole grain and with real ingredients, not something obscure like “natural flavor”. An added bonus is, it would be a fraction of the cost if made at home!Β These are super easy to make, no special equipment needed.

    This tickles my nostalgia! I love graham crackers and grew up eating the brand you pictured. Years ago I swore them off for all the bad stuff with which they are made (okay, could be worse). I am digging the idea of making your “healthy” version at home. Big fun.

    • May 9, 2014 at 8:23 am

      πŸ™‚ yes, it is fun!

  • May 8, 2014 at 11:26 pm

    Oh these look so good, Apsara. It’s after dinner-time but we won’t mind munching on a few of these. πŸ™‚

    • May 9, 2014 at 8:23 am

      I like crackers any time of the day! πŸ™‚

  • May 9, 2014 at 1:23 am

    Apsara, these crackers definitely are the real deal! Perfectly cut and baked. I would be tempted to get a marshmallow and some chocolate to make a smore as soon as these came out of the oven!

    • May 9, 2014 at 8:25 am

      that’s a great idea!

  • May 9, 2014 at 2:54 am

    Wow! I had no idea we could make our own Graham crackers! This is very awesome and I bet they are so much more tasty than the store bought ones! πŸ˜€

    • May 9, 2014 at 8:30 am

      thank you, Julianna. Taste-wise, they are good, just a little more crumbly than the store bought because those are made partly of APF.

  • May 9, 2014 at 3:05 am

    Hi, Aspara! I have seen recipes of homemade graham crackers before and most of them use… I think it’s called graham flour? I am not certain. Anyway, this is really awesome and I love graham crackers. I wish I could find myself some whole wheat pastry flour so I could make these. Or could I use other flour?! What do you think?

    Thank you for bringing these yummy crackers to FF15. I am sure everyone will enjoy and will be amazed by your creativity. πŸ˜‰

    • May 9, 2014 at 8:34 am

      thank you, Jhuls, and for hosting FF too!
      You could use all-purpose flour in this, I would recommend half of APF and half of whole wheat flour. Graham flour is a different type of (coarsely ground) whole wheat, I believe. suppose that would be more authentic. πŸ™‚

      • May 9, 2014 at 8:37 am

        It’s my pleasure, Aspara! I am so delighted to be one of your co-hosts today! πŸ˜‰

        Uh, okay! I bet homemade graham is better than the store-bought ones. πŸ˜‰

        Hope you are enjoying FF15. <3

    Those little crackers look so neat and yummy! I haven’t made cracker before, but I’d like to try sometime. Thank you for the recipe!

    • May 9, 2014 at 8:34 am

      you’re welcome, weebirdie. πŸ™‚

  • May 9, 2014 at 5:40 am

    Wow, great job!! I love how you’ve used ingredients I can actually get my hands on, seeing as how we don’t have graham crackers here. Thanks so much for sharing πŸ™‚

    • May 9, 2014 at 8:41 am

      thank you, and welcome to my blog! I’m going over your blog and really like the way you recreate dishes. Similar to my philosophy! πŸ™‚

  • May 9, 2014 at 8:49 am

    How on earth did you get such perfect squares?!? I’m in awe…as I always end up with something more like an odd geometric shape when trying to cut something “straight”. Well done. Your recipe sounds great!

    • May 9, 2014 at 8:53 am

      thank you, Nancy. That’s a lovely comment! I’m not very good at circles though, can’t make a round pizza, for example! πŸ™‚

    • May 17, 2014 at 4:26 pm

      thanks, Laura. For some reason, 2 of your comments went to spam, I’m glad I found them! I need to check my spam queue more often. πŸ™‚

    What a great idea to make homemade graham crackers! I’m saving your recipe for sure. Wouldn’t these be great with s’mores! They are so lovely looking.

    Lovely results! Thanks for this inspiring recipe. I should try to make my own too, especially since graham crackers are even more expensive here in Canada. S’more season, here I come!

      you’re welcome! I hope you enjoy making them too.

  • May 9, 2014 at 1:32 pm

    These are such a great idea, Apsara…
    I love to have a pot of home made cookies for guests,
    and these are going to be the next make!
    Thank you for the recipe – hope mine turn out as perfectly as yours!

    Hi Aspara – these fabulous crackers are just what we need – good call! I am very impressed with how perfectly you have cut them -they honestly look as if they have come from a box – amazing!

  • May 12, 2014 at 8:57 am

    I have been using the “boxed variety” for so long in a couple of desserts like smores and a crust for a cheesecake, but how special they would be if I made my own graham crackers – great idea πŸ™‚

    • May 12, 2014 at 9:39 am

      thanks, Judi. πŸ™‚

  • May 13, 2014 at 6:25 am

    We are not used with these crackers here in Belgium but they look so good! I must try these, for sure! πŸ™‚ xxx
