Homemade Graham Crackers


I usually try to stick with recipes that I can totally replace the sugar with honey but.... this one is a treat of an exception :) Although this is a lot healthier than store bought :) I am a big fan of graham crackers and especially these ones that I tend to leave a little softer than a cracker :) They would be great this summer to make smores with :) :)


1 c. unbleached white flour

1 1/2c. whole wheat flour

1/2c. wheat germ

1/2tsp. sea salt

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 c. unsalted butter, softened

3/4c. packed light brouwn sugar

2 Tbsp. honey


Preheat oven 350 degrees.

Whisk flours, wheat germ, salt, baking soda and cinnamon in a medium bowl and set aside.


In another bowl, mix butter, sugar, and honey together on medium speed until pale and fluffy. On low, mix in flours.


Turn dough into floured surface and roll out 1/4 inch thick. You can also roll between 2 pieces of parchment paper. Cut into desired sized crackers and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Place in freezer for 20 min. Then bake for 8-9 min. Let cool and remove from sheet. Enjoy!! :)
