Grain-Free Graham Crackers for S'mores
Grain-Free, Gluten-Free, Nut-Free
Summer is right around the corner, and we cant stop dreaming of sitting by a cozy campfire on a cool night. No backyard or camping adventure is complete without s'mores though, and we all know s'mores need a great graham cracker to hold it all together! That's where this recipe comes in: with the toasty flavors of molasses and cinnamon, this grain-free graham cracker is the perfect addition to your summer festivities. Or enjoy plain as a better-for-you afternoon snack!
Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons butter, meltedÂ
- 1 Tablespoon blackstrap molassesÂ
- 1 eggÂ
-  ½ cup organic coconut sugar
- 1 cup Otto's Naturals - Cassava Flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking sodaÂ
- ½ teaspoon saltÂ
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamonÂ
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.Â
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, molasses, egg, and coconut sugar. Stir until well combined.Â
- Add the cassava flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. Stir until a smooth dough forms. You should be able to handle the dough without it sticking to your hands.Â
- Lightly dust a sheet of parchment paper with cassava flour. Place the dough on the parchment paper and flatten it slightly into a rectangle. Place another piece of parchment paper over the dough and use a rolling pin to flatten the dough to about ¼-â…› inch thick. Thicker graham crackers will be soft and thinner graham crackers will get more crunchy.Â
- Remove the top layer of parchment paper and use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into graham crackers. We cut ours into about 2x3-inch rectangles.Â
- Use a spatula to carefully transfer each graham cracker onto the cookie sheet. Use a sharp knife to make a score line across the middle of each cracker. Use a fork to poke two sets of holes above and below the score mark to make classic graham cracker markings.Â
- Bake for 12-15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheets before transferring the graham crackers to a cooling rack to cool completely before enjoying!Â
Some fun ways to make s'mores:
Okay, not everyone has access to a campfire, so we don't blame you if you need to make your s'mores over the stovetop, in the oven, or even in the microwave! Any way to get marshmallow-y, chocolatey grain-free goodness in your mouth is a good way!
Don't think that marshmallows and chocolate are the only ways to make a s'more. Add a few fun pantry staples - like nut butters, fruits, other candies or even grain-free pretzels - onto your dessert sandwich! With Otto's Top 9 Allergen-Free Cassava Flour, the only limit is your imagination!

What makes a graham cracker?
Graham crackers are actually named for a coarse type of whole wheat flour, and it was originally a bland and flavorless cracker. Now it's often flavored with honey or cinnamon. Our grain-free recipe may not feature whole wheat, but we still give it delicious toasty flavors thanks to a touch of molasses and a hefty bit of ground cinnamon!
