Crispy Vegan & Gluten Free Graham Crackers with Chocolate SunButter Frosting. Enjoy as is or top with a 3-ingredient SunButter icing!

Vegan & Gluten Free Graham Crackers with SunButter Frosting

My favorite cake growing up was yellow with chocolate frosting.

Arguably the best part of the cake, pillowy yellow insides aside, was the homemade chocolate frosting that my mom made to top it.

It was rich, chocolately, and creamy, the kind of frosting you lick the mixers clean of before releasing them into sudsy water.

When we had extra, my mom spread thick layers of the stuff on cinnamon graham crackers for snacking.

If you’ve never had frosting on graham crackers, you’re going to love this recipe.

If you have, in fact,  had frosting on graham crackers, you’re going to love this recipe, too, because it’s made with simple whole foods ingredients.

These Vegan & Gluten Free Graham Crackers are made with less than 10 ingredients!

Enjoy them as is or top them with a decadent 3-ingredient Chocolate SunButter frosting.

Vegan & Gluten Free Graham Crackers with SunButter Frosting

Last night I made not one, not two, but THREE dozen PB Kiss Cookies for Dan’s holiday party at work today.

I’m a bit cookie-d out.

So today I tackled the graham cracker instead.

And not just any graham cracker– the elusive oil free, gluten free, vegan, and refined sugar free graham cracker.

Initially, I had tons of questions about this whole cookie/cracker experiment, like:

How do you get them that thickness?

What’s up with those littler holes for decoration?

How do you get them crispy and not soft?

Remember teddy grahams???

Those were my jam back in the day.

I used to pour out a big handful of those little honey glazed guys and take them upstairs to my room, munching on bears absentmindedly as I studied and IM-ed with friends.

Sometimes when the bears disappeared I went back for more.

These graham crackers are kind of like that too.

Addicting. 

Vegan & Gluten Free Graham Crackers with SunButter Frosting

We start with a gluten free batter made from almond and oat flour and lightly sweetened with a little maple syrup and coconut sugar.

Smooth SunButter acts as an oil replacement to make these graham crackers super moist.

I kept the graham crackers simple with a basic cinnamon flavor, but if you want to mix things up, try adding in your favorite spice mixture, like pumpkin pie spice, ginger, or nutmeg.

If you’re avoiding nuts, try subbing in oat flour for the almond meal for varied results.

Vegan & Gluten Free Graham Crackers with SunButter Frosting

To answer your (my) questions, the secret to these graham crackers is a rolling pin, lots of parchment paper, and a pizza cutter.

I used a method of rolling out the ball between two sheets of parchment paper to achieve an even flat surface for cutting into shapes.

Try using a pizza cutter to cut into squares or rectangles, or get creative and use your favorite cookie cutter instead.

Using a toothpick, press holes into the graham cracker if you want to mimic the crackers of your childhood!

(As far as I can tell, this is just for looks. It looks cute but isn’t necessary for great tasting grahams!)

Vegan & Gluten Free Graham Crackers with SunButter Frosting

In case these homemade graham crackers and milk aren’t enough for your sweet tooth, I whipped up this easy 3-ingredient Chocolate SunButter frosting as a nutritious decadent topper.

All you need to whip up the frosting is SunButter, maple syrup, and cacao powder.

That’s it!

Mix everything together, taste, and add more maple syrup for sweetness, cacao for chocolate, and SunButter for smooth creaminess.

If you have extra frosting, try using this spread on cookies, toast, pancakes, oatmeal, or by the spoonful.

I love using SunButter in this recipe because it has a great neutral flavor that adds healthy fats and flavor to these crackers and frosting!

Enjoy these Vegan & Gluten Free Graham Crackers with Chocolate SunButter Frosting whenever you need a quirky cozy treat.

They’re be the perfect unique and  thoughtful DIY gift for the holiday or Valentine’s Day.

You can mix and match the 3-ingredient SunButter frosting and Homemade Graham Crackers below, but I think they’re best paired together for an adult spin on a childhood treat.

Try smashing them into a frosted graham cracker sandwich like my mom taught me!

Pro Tip: Store graham crackers and frosting separately so they don’t get soggy and smash together before serving.

Description

Crispy Vegan & Gluten Free Graham Crackers with Chocolate SunButter Frosting. Enjoy as is or top with a 3-ingredient SunButter icing!


Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup No-Sugar-Added SunButter
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 TBSP maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup organic coconut sugar

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup gluten-free oat flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

Frosting

  • 1/2 cup No-Sugar-Added SunButter
  • 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and toss everything to combine. Add in the wet ingredients and stir it well with a spoon until the dough is thick and well-mixed.
  3. Form the dough into a large ball and place it on a parchment lined cutting board or flat surface. Place another piece of parchment paper on top of the ball and roll into a long rectangle with a rolling pin. Continue rolling until you have a surface about 1/8″ thick.
  4. Remove the parchment paper on top and cut the crackers into the shapes of your choice using a cookie cutter or a pizza slicer/pastry slicer.
  5. Place each piece onto the baking sheet, leaving 1/2-inch between each. Poke a few fork holes into each cracker. Repeat with the remaining dough. Poke holes in each cracker to resemble the original graham crackers, if desired!
  6. Carefully transfer the graham crackers to the lined baking sheet. Bake the crackers for 12-15 minutes or until they’re golden brown around the edges and underneath. Transfer the crackers to a cooling rack for 15 minutes.
  7. Store the crackers in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks and freeze for longterm storage.
  8. To make the SunButter frosting, add the SunButter, cacao powder, and maple syrup to a mixing bowl and whisk until thick and creamy. Serve the spread on homemade graham crackers.
  9. Store leftover frosting in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.

#ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this #ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup feels easy. 🥕🍠🥣 It also tastes amazing and every warm spoonful is like a comforting embrace. This Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup is made on the stovetop with root vegetables and yellow curry paste blended with a spoonful of nut butter. I used a standing blender but you can also use an immersion blender to achieve the creamiest consistency.

I love topping my soup with cilantro, @edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds, and @edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil. 

@edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds are infrared roasted organic almonds with complimentary organic tamari soy sauce. They’re a delicious snack packed with protein and fiber. You can enjoy them on their own, added to trail mix, on salads and bowls, or…on soup! 
 
@edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil is a delicious unrefined expeller pressed toasted sesame oil that is infused with hot red chili peppers. Friends, this stuff is HOT! Just a *drop* adds a big kick to your dressings, marinades, stir-fries, etc. If you have a wild side, add a drop or two to your soup bowl for a little extra heat! 

Feel free to add your favorites, like roasted chickpeas, green onion, and sesame seeds.
