Homemade Graham Crackers

I'm usually pretty skeptical about "healthy" alternatives to snack food. They just never seem to satisfy the same craving, and in my mind, why change a good thing? Except, processed box food is not a good thing. As I learn more about all the junk that is being put into our food, I am learning to embrace the healthier side of life more. And these homemade graham crackers weren't that difficult to embrace at all. In fact, I had to restrain myself from eating the whole pan. They were super delicious warm, and still yummy after they had cooled... this was a ten out of ten recipe! If I am sneaking food, you know it's good. :)

Homemade Graham Crackers
(from Little House Living)


1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 c. wheat flour
1/2 t. salt
1 t. baking soda
1 t. cinnamon (or less)
1 c. butter, softened
3/4 c. brown sugar, sucanat, or turbinado
2 T. honey

Mix together the honey, sugar, salt, and butter. Add in the rest of the ingredients. Add the flours 1/2c. at a time so that it works in well. Place the dough between wax/parchment paper and roll out (ours were a bit on the thick side, but they were still awesome). Cut them into squares, or whatever shape you want. Place the crackers in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes to get firm. Remove from freezer, place on greased cookie sheet, and poke with a fork. Bake at 350F for about 5 minutes, flip over with a spatula and bake another 3-4 minutes. Watch carefully to keep from burning. 

Enjoy! If you do decide to eat the whole pan, I suggest drinking plenty of water! They would be awesome with Nutella, by the way...
