Almond Flour Graham Crackers

Say hello to these homemade Almond Flour Graham Crackers—your new go-to choice for cozy snacks, guilt-free s’mores, and more!

When my parents decided on names for us kids, they preferred to go with more unique options. They named my younger brother Graham, and we teased him relentlessly that he was named after the cracker. My baby brother copied every single thing that Graham did growing up. Over time, we started referring to them as Graham and milligram. And, boy, could they go through a batch of s’mores!

My mom had to buy graham crackers in bulk to keep up with the appetites of two growing boys. I will never forget those late summer nights around the fire pit, where us kids would horse around and eat our weight in fresh, gooey s’mores. This recipe brings back those memories with an almond twist.

These graham crackers are made with almond flour and naturally sweetened with monk fruit and a dash of molasses. To me, they feel like a grown-up version of the crackers we loved as kids. Whether you’re packing them for work, layering them in a dessert board, or prepping a snack for the kids, these crackers will transform any snack into a nostalgic and nourishing experience.

Are Almond Flour Graham Crackers Healthy?

These almond flour graham crackers are made with plant-based ingredients full of nutrients. Almond flour contains more protein than conventional wheat flours, and it is a good source of magnesium and vitamin E. Monk fruit sweetener is a natural ingredient that adds sweetness but contains zero carbs or calories. Because this recipe uses almond flour, it is suitable for gluten-free diets. For our vegan diners, you can replace the egg in this recipe with a combination of one tablespoon of ground flaxseed and two and a half tablespoons of water. Finally, you can also substitute the almond flour with oat flour if preparing this recipe for individuals with a nut allergy.

The Surprising History of The Graham Cracker

If you’re like me, it probably feels like the graham cracker has been around forever. But did you know that this snack was actually invented by a Presbyterian minister in the early 1800s? That’s right—Sylvester Graham was one of the original health-food influencers in the United States. He promoted the graham cracker as a wholesome snack that would help reduce sinful cravings. The first graham crackers were made with whole-wheat flour and were free of fat, spice, and sugar. These crackers were designed to promote moral discipline as part of a God-fearing lifestyle. It wasn’t until the early 1900s that companies like Nabisco started to modernize this recipe. They started sweetening graham crackers and adding ingredients like cinnamon and honey. Today, graham crackers are a staple for a wide range of recipes—from cheesecake crusts to lunchbox snacks.

Serving Suggestions

When you think of serving graham crackers, I’m willing to bet that an image of gooey s’mores comes to mind. But it turns out that there are many other options for serving these tasty crackers. You could crumble them over Chocolate Overnight Oats or a fresh Smoothie Bowl. Or you could use them as the crust for this Crème Brûlée Cheesecake or these Key Lime Bars. I also recommend dipping your graham crackers in Chocolate Fondue and sprinkling them with crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or any other topping your heart desires.
