These super simple graham crackers are a fun and easy treat you can make and enjoy as a quick snack all week long!
Want to know a little fun fact? I’ve made these easy graham crackers for years and years, and because you can cut them out into any sort of shape, I taught all my kids how to spell their names by cutting the crackers into the letters of their names. Isn’t that the most fun?! It’s a sweet tradition that I’ve remembered to keep for all 5 kiddos, and it makes it so much more exciting for them to learn from a tasty snack!
These crackers couldn’t be easier to make, so much so that it’s not even worth buying the version from the store again if you ask me! These are just a bit more flavorful and tasty because they’re homemade, plus you know all the ingredients going into them! Win-win.

Simple Graham Cracker Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/3 cup Sucanat dehydrated cane juice, (you can use brown sugar here if you'd like)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Place all your dry ingredients in your mixer bowl and combine.
- Add all of the wet ingredients and mix with the cookie paddle attachment until everything comes together. The dough isn’t sticky and is moderately greasy.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Divide the dough in half and roll out on a floured surface. Roll to about 1/4-inch thick. You can treat the dough like a sugar cookie dough and cut out shapes, or you can use a pizza cutter and cut out squares.
- Place the cut-out crackers on an un-greased cookie sheet and bake for 8 to 12 minutes, until the edges just slightly darken.
- They will harden up more as they cool. Store in an airtight container for about a week.
