Homemade Gluten-Free Graham Cracker Recipe
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- In a medium-size bowl or food processor mix all the dry ingredients together.
- Then cut in the buttery spread using two forks or mix in a food processor until the mixture is crumbly.
- Mix wet ingredients together and then add to the crumbly mixture and mix until combined.
- Roll out following the easy steps below.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool in the pan for about 2-3 minutes and then remove the crackers to a wire rack to finish cooling.
How To Easily Roll Out Graham Cracker Dough
The dough should be nice and soft to work with. We’re going to make it all super easy to roll out by using two pieces of parchment paper.
- Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of your 12″ x 18″ baking pan. Tear off a second piece of parchment paper that is a little larger that will be used later to place over the top of the dough.
- Now place dough on top of the 12″ x 18″ piece of parchment paper and use your hands to roughly press the dough out towards all four edges.
- Then place the larger piece of parchment paper over the dough. Using a rolling pin, evenly roll out the dough to cover the bottom piece of parchment paper.
- Remove the top piece of parchment paper and take a butter knife to trim off the dough to just inside the bottom piece of paper.
- Once it’s been trimmed, use a pizza cutter to cut the crackers the size you would like. Then prick each cracker several times with a fork. (if you don’t want to use a pizza cutter on your countertop you can put it in the baking pan first.)
- Place the baking pan next to the prepared dough. Gently pick the parchment paper with the dough on it up and place in the pan. Then bake according to the directions.

Notes
- I use Better Batter Gluten-Free Flour in this recipe. You can use another one-to-one gluten-free flour mix if you prefer but be sure it contains xanthan gum. If it doesn’t add 1 teaspoon xanthan gum to the recipe.

Suzanne says
These look so good! Can they be used for a graham cracker crust?
MamaShire says
Thank you! I haven’t used them for a graham cracker crust yet but will be trying that soon.
Vanessa says
Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long?
MamaShire says
Mine kept for a few days any longer than I would suggest freezing them and just pulling out a few when you want them.
Lynn Munroe says
Can you use real butter and milk as I can have dairy.
MamaShire says
Yes, they both should work fine in this recipe.
Camille says
when do you add the milk and the vanilla? thank you so much! 🙂
MamaShire says
Step #4 you add the wet ingredients to the mixture. 🙂
Kendall says
I did this recipe step by step and they turned out super soft, and kind of grainy. Do you know why
★★★
MamaShire says
Hi Kendall, I’m sorry you these didn’t turn out the way you had hoped. These are not crispy-hard crackers like you would buy at the store. As far as being grainy I wouldn’t know exactly why. I haven’t had that experience with them. Did you use Better Batter gluten-free flour?
Kendall says
I used just regular gluten free flour Im not sure what brand though.

MamaShire says
I’ve really had the best success with Better Batter Gluten-Free Flour. My family has been gluten-free for 9 1/2 years and I’ve tried a lot of different flours and my all-time favorite is Better Batter. I don’t even try any others anymore. I’m sorry it didn’t turn out like you wanted it to.
Emily says
My daughter has been wanting some graham crackers , she hadn’t had any since we found out she is gluten intolerant. I found this recipe and decided to try it and they were very good. She loved them! I used King Arthur’s gluten free flour and they tasted very similar to another recipe I used to make, that was made with regular flour.

MamaShire says
I’m so glad she loved them! And it’s good to hear that King Arthur’s flour worked well too.
Kathy says
I really like to bake with King Arthur gluten free baking mix, it tastes really good, would recommend it.
