Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup (120g) white whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour
- 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tbsp (45mL) pure maple syrup, room temperature
- 1 tbsp + 2 ½ tsp (28mL) water, room temperature
- 1 tsp coconut oil, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crackers.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, and salt to ensure even distribution of the spices and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the maple syrup, water, and melted coconut oil in that order. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined and form a cohesive dough. This may require extra effort at the end to bring it together.
- Roll Out Dough: Transfer the dough onto a silicone baking mat for easy handling. Using a silicone rolling pin, roll the dough out evenly to approximately 1/16 inch thick, ensuring thin, crisp crackers.
- Shape Crackers: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice the dough into 1-inch squares. Prick the center of each square gently with a fork to prevent puffing during baking. Carefully separate the squares and arrange them on the baking mat so they are not touching for even heat circulation.
- Bake: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 13-15 minutes or until they become crunchy and slightly golden.
- Cool: Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet to firm up before transferring to an airtight container for storage.
Notes
- Use a silicone baking mat for best results to prevent sticking and aid in easy transfer.
- Adjust the ground cinnamon according to your taste preference; adding more will enhance the cinnamon flavor.
- These crackers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- Gluten-free flour can be used as a substitute for whole wheat flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
