Ingredients

1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 tsp baking soda

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and egg.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry or crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to help bring it together.
Turn the dough out onto a piece of parchment paper. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top of the dough and roll it out to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Using a knife or a cookie cutter, cut the dough into rectangular shapes to form crackers.
Place the crackers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
Use a fork to prick holes into the center of each cracker, mimicking the traditional graham cracker look.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crackers are crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
