Gluten-Free, Vegan, Graham Crackers


 

1/2 tsp baking soda 
dash of sea salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 Tbsp molasses
2 ½ Tbsp melted raw coconut oil
1 ¼ cup sifted oat flour *
1/4 cup arrowroot starch or cornstarch
1 ½ tsp ground flax seeds *
 
Preheat oven to 350 F. Whisk together baking soda, salt, cinnamon, maple syrup, molasses, and melted coconut oil until well combined and smooth.
 
Add in the sifted oat flour, arrowroot starch, and ground flax seeds; mix until incorporated. Use your hands to shape dough into a ball - dough will be somewhat sticky. 
 
Place a sheet of parchment paper on countertop. Place dough in the center and then place another sheet of parchment paper on top of the dough. Working from the center out, roll the dough into a rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the dough into rectangles. Dip the tip of a spatula into oat flour, gently use to remove cookie dough from the parchment paper, transfer to a baking sheet. Pierce each graham cracker with a fork.

* Ground flax seed is so easy to make too. Place desired amount of whole golden flax seed in a high powdered blender. Blend on high until flax seeds are have turned into a fine powder, about 1 minute. Store in an air tight container.
