Gluten-Free Graham Cracker Recipe

Who would have believed that you could make authentic tasting gluten-free graham crackers so easily!

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that we had gone on our first camping trip, complete with building a campfire and roasting homemade marshmallows.

It was so much fun! But about three times that evening, Gabriel said โ€œhey, maybe next time you could make gluten-free graham crackers, and we could have sโ€™mores!โ€.

That was encouraging to me, because it meant that he was enjoying himself enough that he wanted to do it again (Iโ€™m always worried that Iโ€™m โ€œdraggingโ€ him out on adventures with the kids and I).

But it also made me wonder how many years itโ€™s been since Gabe has had a sโ€™more – or a graham cracker at all for that matter.

Iโ€™d sure never made them before – because really! The very name – graham – implies wheat. How can you make a gluten-free graham cracker?!

But for Gabeโ€™s sake, Iโ€™ll try (almost) anything once.

Unfortunately, I was surprised when I went looking for a recipe that so many of them included eggs in their crackers. Gabeโ€™s allergic to chicken eggs, and duck eggs are hard to come by.

Then I realized that we might not need eggs. After all, eggs add moisture, and assist in the rising process, whereas you want your cracker to be dry and crunchy, with very little rise. Am I right?

So with very little experimentation, we hit upon success, and I am blow away by how much these taste exactly like the real thing! I have to credit the almond flour, cinnamon, and honey for that.

Iโ€™m not usually a huge fan of almond flour because itโ€™s so expensive, but if you have it, I definitely recommend using it in this recipe! These crackers are PERFECT!

The crackers were such a huge success that I followed them up by making homemade marshmallows (with raw sugar to boot!), and bought some chocolate so the kids and I could surprise Gabe with sโ€™mores.

You know what he said? โ€œNah, thanks, but Iโ€™m trying to quit eating so much sugarโ€.

What???? He changed his mind after I gave him the death stare. ๐Ÿ˜‰

A little late for our camping trip, but so, so worth it!

    1. I haven’t personally tried using another flour, because the almond flour makes it taste SOOO good! But I think using another gluten-free flour such as rice, sorghum, quinoa, or teff would work just fine. ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. i cant wait to try this recipe…i have tried soo many store brand gf so called graham crackers that taste nothing like it at all. we live on a farm as well with many camp fire nights i miss smores so bad.

  3. Absolutely delish! And,a perfect blend of ingredients for both taste (yum!) and performance.I’m making a gingerbread-type house on a cake, and these are sturdy enough to accommodate the design. I was afraid of rolling them too thin, but no worries. Perfection! Thanks so much! I’ll be using this recipe for the holidays as well. Not having the egg in it is a great decision what I am doing. Your recipe is unique in that, and therefore is a great find for me. Kudos to you!

  4. Has anyone tried using some buckwheat flour? I am thinking it would help give the crackers a darker color and richer taste. We need to avoid almonds and honey, so I am thinking of either increasing the brown sugar or using maple syrup.
