Ingredients
To make these delicious gluten-free graham crackers, you’ll need the following dry and wet ingredients:
Dry Ingredients
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup tapioca starch
- ¼ cup arrowroot starch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
How To Make Gluten-Free Graham Crackers
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: coconut flour, tapioca starch, arrowroot starch, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Add the wet ingredients—maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract—and mix well with a hand mixer. Gradually incorporate the melted coconut oil until the dough forms.
- Let the dough rest for 3 minutes, then pat it into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
- Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about ¼ inch thickness. Score the dough with a sharp knife or pizza cutter to create cracker shapes. Prick with a fork to give it that classic graham cracker look.
- Bake the crackers on a cookie sheet for 8 minutes. Carefully separate the crackers, then bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until they reach a crisp texture and golden brown color.
- Cool on a cooling rack and store in an airtight container.
These homemade gluten-free graham crackers can be stored for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

Paleo Graham Crackers
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Place the dry ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add the maple syrup, egg and vanilla extract. Mix well with a hand mixer.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the coconut oil. Blend well to incorporate. Let the dough rest for 3 minutes.
- Pat the dough into a disc, cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate 15 -30 minutes.
- Place refrigerated dough between 2 pieces parchment paper (big enough to fit on your baking sheet) and roll to a ¼-inch thick rectangle. Remove top piece of parchment, place bottom piece with the dough on the baking sheet.
- Using a sharp knife, score the dough lengthwise into 6 sections, then across into 4 sections. (Or be independent and make them as large or small as you’d like!)
- Poke dough all over with fork.
- Bake 8 minutes, then pull the tray out and carefully (use a spatula) separate the crackers. Return the crackers to the oven and bake 5-10 minutes more, or until centers are cooked and edges are golden.
- Cool on trays on wire racks. Store in an airtight container up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Let us know how it was!About the Book: Paleo Indulgences
For anyone embracing a gluten-free or paleo lifestyle, Tammy Credicott’s Paleo Indulgences is a must-have. The book offers a range of healthy gluten-free recipes, from scones to cupcakes, to satisfy your primal cravings. Whether you’re a seasoned paleo enthusiast or new to gluten-free baking, you’ll appreciate Tammy’s down-to-earth approach, especially her 80/20 philosophy, which encourages balance rather than perfection.
Tammy’s recipes, such as these gluten-free graham crackers, combine familiar flavors with healthier ingredients like coconut oil and arrowroot starch. With this cookbook, indulging in delicious treats doesn’t mean straying from your gluten-free diet.
Tammy’s recipe for One-Minute Chocolate Cake had better results than non-paleo microwavable cupcakes that I have made in the past. The batter rises nicely while it cooks and then settles a bit after it cools.
The Candied Coconut Walnuts are FABULOUS! They only take a few simple ingredients and take no longer than 20 minutes to bake. The first time that I made them, I did not have enough walnuts, so I used some pecan pieces that I had in my pantry. They were really good. So good that I have made the recipe twice now and just bought another bag of walnuts so that I can make it again.
Other recipes from the book that piqued my interest are Cincinnati Chili, Italian Herb Crackers, Decadent Brownies, and Almond o’Joys! Some others that I hope to try in the near future are Peppermint Creams, Asian Pork Lettuce Cups, Chinese Pepper Steak, Meatball Sub, Antipasto Salad, Pecan Sandies, Sugar Cookies, and maybe a few more.
