Honey Graham Crackers from Scratch are both easy to make and much healthier for you, knowing what your ingredients are. They have more flavor than store bought too! Whether you need a quick snack or you are making a graham cracker crust, this recipe for Honey Graham Crackers is the best option! They’re far superior to their boxed counterparts, a culinary indulgence you won’t easily give up. During my childhood, a cherished go-to snack was cinnamon or honey graham crackers layered with peanut butter, a fusion of flavors I adored. Quick, affordable, and simple, they were a favorite for me and approved by my mom.
Today, when nostalgia beckons for a quick snack, I revisit this classic, but with a twist. Unlike my childhood, where they arrived in a store bought box, I now opt for homemade graham crackers, a choice marked by both taste and health considerations.
Why Choose Honey Graham Crackers from Scratch?
Crafting graham crackers at home offers numerous advantages. Beyond cost-effectiveness, they boast a healthier profile, without the additives or preservatives. This allows you to customize each batch from incorporating chocolate to amping up vanilla notes, the recipe can be tailored to suit your own taste.
Homemade graham crackers are not only better than their store-bought counterparts in cost but also in nutritional value. Homemade from familiar ingredients, they tend to pack more nutrients and fiber compared to commercial varieties filled with additives. My recipe leaves out processed white sugar in favor of honey, ensuring sweetness without compromise.
Concerned about mastering the art of scratch cooking? Fear not; crafting homemade graham crackers proves remarkably straightforward and reliable.
While the definition of “healthy” varies, graham crackers generally present a prudent snack choice. Compared to sugary cookies or high-calorie chips, they offer a healthier alternative, boasting lower carbohydrates and calories.
Moreover, they serve as a versatile ingredient, perfect for crafting graham cracker crumbs ideal for pie crusts. Instructions for a homemade graham cracker pie crust follow below.
For storage, allow the crackers to cool thoroughly on a wire rack before transferring to an airtight container.

Servings: 12 Crackers
Calories: 289 kcal
======================
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Butter, softened
- ¾ cup Organic Dark Brown Sugar, packed
- ½ teaspoon Himalayan Pink Salt (more minerals, thus pink color)

======================
Instructions:

- Gradually incorporate all-purpose and wheat flours until fully combined.
- Roll out dough between parchment paper sheets to 1/8″ thickness. Cut or score (I used a pizza cutter) into individual cracker sizes and prick holes (with a fork) to aid air circulation. You can freeze for 30 minutes to firm dough. (I skipped this step)
- Separate crackers along scored lines and arrange on a baking sheet, ensuring slight spacing to prevent soft edges. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Or, you can skip the freezing and separating and use the pizza cutter again after baking.
