Ingredients
2cupsalmond flourabout 225 grams
½cupbrown sugarabout 100 grams
2teaspoonsground cinnamon
1teaspoonbaking powder
¼teaspoonsalt
1largeegg
2Tablespoonsvegan buttermelted
1teaspoonvanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F. After lining rimmed baking sheets with unbleached parchment paper, put them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Add the egg, vegan butter, and vanilla extract to the flour mixture, then stir with a wooden spoon until a stiff cookie dough forms.
Sprinkle a little flour on the parchment paper. Next, transfer the dough onto the paper. Place another piece of parchment paper on top.
Roll out the dough as uniformly as possible until it is between 1/4 and 1/8 inch thick. The dough should be around 12" by 10".
Gently peel off the top parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, a pizza wheel, or your preferred cookie cutters, cut the dough into shapes. Then score it into four pieces down and six pieces across. Make 2-inch squares out of the dough.
Next, place the whole parchment sheet onto a baking sheet. Then, using a fork, gently prick each graham cracker in 3 rows.
Bake the crackers for 25 to 30 minutes, or until just starting to firm up and brown.
Let the crackers cool in the pan for five minutes. They are incredibly tender and delicate after baking. Then, move the crackers to a cooling rack. Cooling causes them to crisp.
Notes
Sift the almond flour for a super-smooth, crispy cookie.
Measure the flour using the spoon-and-level method for optimal results.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it's too soft. This way, it’s smooth, rollable, and shiny enough to cut crisp crackers without excessive sticking.
Roll out the dough on parchment paper. Use two pieces so that you can get the dough nice and thin without it sticking to the counter.
Allow the gluten-free graham crackers to cool completely in the turned-off oven. This allows them to dry completely and guarantees that they come out crisp.
