A Recipe For Today... My girls love graham sticks, but I am not too excited about the partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. And the ones in the health food section are a bit too pricey. So, here is an easy recipe and they are super yummy. This recipe is from the book Simply Natural Baby Food by Cathe Olson.

Cinnamon Graham Crackers

4 Tbs of coconut oil at room temperature(or butter, if you prefer)
4 Tbs honey or pure maple syrup
1 egg
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour(whole wheat works, too)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp sea salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat oil and sweetener together until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat until smooth. In separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together. Use low speed on mixer and beat flour mixture into wet mixture. The dough will be crumbly, but should hold together when pressed in your hand. If it is too dry, add a little water.

Press dough into baking sheet. Score into squares(I make mine the shape of the sticks at the store). Prick each square several times with a fork. Bake for 15 minutes or until edges are golden. Cool and break into pieces.

Enjoy!
