Low Carb Graham Crackers Made with Almond Flour

Graham crackers (similar in taste to digestive biscuits) are a big part of summer – especially when making S’mores by the campfire.

I mean, just think of that delicious combination of melted chocolate and toasted marshmallows sandwiched between two crispy graham crackers…. Yuuum! Are you drooling yet?

And even if you aren’t into S’mores, you can still surely enjoy this popular cinnamon-flavored cookie as a sweet snack with a cup of tea, or crushed into crumbs to make a graham cracker crust as the base of a cheesecake, or desserts such as a tart or key lime pie.

Traditional graham crackers are usually made with wheat flour, and while you can buy a box of graham crackers, I wanted to make a version of homemade graham crackers that is also low-carb, as well as gluten-free and dairy-free.

Why This Recipe Works:

• Simple Ingredients: The main ingredients required for this almond flour graham cracker recipe are easily accessible at the local grocery store (nothing fancy required!).
• Easy to Make: Preparing the graham cracker dough is a matter of mixing the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, after which you roll out the dough and cut it into rectangles, poke with holes and bake!
• Totally Low Carb, Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free: The best part is that these easy graham cracker recipe is lower in carbohydrates, and totally gluten-free and dairy-free too, which means that even those with Celiac disease or gluten or lactose intolerances can enjoy it without issues.

Recipes Notes + Substitutions:

• Almond Flour: Make sure to use finely ground blanched almond flour (not the same as almond meal) for the best results.
• Brown Sugar: I used light brown sugar to create the characteristic brown color of graham crackers, but you can also use dark brown sugar or coconut sugar if you prefer. Alternatively, if you are diabetic or insulin-resistant, I recommend using granulated monkfruit sweetener (a 1:1 sugar substitute that is zero glycemic index and will not raise your blood sugar).
• Butter: I used unsalted dairy-free butter to keep this recipe dairy-free. Alternatively, if you are not lactose-intolerant, go ahead and use unsalted regular butter instead.
• Egg: The egg helps to bind the ingredients together, so make sure to add it in.
• Baking Powder: Baking powder is the only leavening agent here, and is required to help the graham cracker dough rise a little, so make sure to add it in. If you are Celiac or gluten-intolerant, make sure to use certified gluten-free baking powder.
• Ground Flaxseeds: I added ground flaxseed (also called flaxseed meal) to help bind the ingredients together as well as add more fiber. You can use either brown flaxseed meal or golden flaxseed meal.
• Ground Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon adds a beautiful flavor to these low carb graham crackers, so I highly recommend adding it.

How to Make Almond Flour Graham Crackers (Step by Step):

1. Preheat and Line

Preheat the oven to 350F and line a large cookie sheet sheet with a piece of parchment paper.

2. Mix Almond Flour with Butter and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour with the dairy-free butter and sugar and mix well.

3. Add Remaining Ingredients

Add the egg, salt, baking powder, ground flaxseeds (flaxseed meal), and ground cinnamon. Mix well.

4. Knead

Knead the mixture with your hands until you get a smooth dough.

5. Roll and Cut Dough

Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough until you get an evenly thin layer. Use a smooth sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into rectangles of the same size.

6. Place Dough on Baking Sheet and Prick Holes

Place the dough rectangles a few inches apart on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Prick each dough rectangle a few times with a fork to create a few lines of holes.

7. Bake Until Golden

Bake at 350F for about 15 minutes until the graham crackers are golden brown.

8. Let Cool Before Removing

Let the graham crackers cool fully on a wire rack at room temperature before serving and eating.

Dish by Dish Tips/Tricks:

• Characteristic Look: For the typical graham cracker look, make sure to cut the dough into rectangles and use a fork to poke a few lines of holes in each rectangle before baking. Alternatively, if you don’t care about the look, you can also cut the dough into squares or circles if you prefer.
• Eat Immediately: In my opinion, these almond graham crackers are best eaten immediately if you want the crispy texture (almond flour baked goods tend to turn softer if you store them for a few days). To store, you can store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
