Homemade Golden Grahams – Great Taste, high in fiber, super satisfying!

Say hello to these tasty, crisp High Fiber Grahams, made with just a few ingredients. And guess what?! Each square has only 6g Net Carbs!

A High Fiber Graham

Some people refer to fiber as boring, tasteless and overall unappealing. But the truth is fiber can benefit both your health and your palate in a very pleasing way. I’ve recently tried incorporating more fiber into my baking to come up with a significant boost per serving as well as keeping it tasty and appealing. I’ve found that Graham Crackers lend themselves well with a good dose of fiber because their texture is supposed to be more grainy. And they’ve got 7g fiber per square. Here’s my simple recipe for homemade hi-fiber grahams and a way to make them and even more special treat (without going overboard on the added sugars).

Here’s the Recipe:

Golden Graham Crackers

High fiber graham crackers with the right balance of bran and sweetness.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 6 squares
Calories 75 kcal

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup All Bran Buds cereal
  • 1.5 Tbsp butter or vegan spread I used Miyokos vegan butter
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp dried ground, candy top mushrooms (or you can use date syrup or date sugar for sweetener)
  • 1/8 tsp Celtic Salt
  • 1 Tbsp ground flax
  • 2-3 Tbsp water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Line a small square pan with parchment paper.
  • In a high speed food processor, grind the All Buds cereal.
  • Add in soft butter or vegan spread, cinnamon, your choice of sweetener (ground candy top mushrooms or date sugar or low to no glycemic sugar alternative such as Erythritol), salt, flax.
  • Mix until well incorporated.
  • Slowly add in water, 1 Tbsp at a time until dough starts to form (not too wet, nor too dry).
  • Spread dough evenly into lined pan.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes until baked through - all to cool, and get crisp.

Once you’ve made your tasty grahams, simple add up to Tablespoon or two of your favorite toppings(s). I think a Tablespoon of chocolate chips is just enough. For my girls I added a Tbsp of chocolate* chunks, and a sprinkling of pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries for a sweet and colorful appeal to my treat!

*Note: If you are an Acid-Watcher, and need to watch out on foods that can impact your reflux, you can use carob powder with a drizzle of date syrup instead of the chocolate. I’ve recently discovered NaamNom’s Simple & Yummy Carob Bar that contains very few ingredients – Organic Carob, Organic Cacoa Butter, Sea Salt. It’s easy enough to crush into chunks. It’s the closest carob bar I’ve found that nearly suits an acid-watchers needs. Yes, I’d prefer it be made with a different oil/butter and to use Celtic Salt instead of pink sea salt. But perhaps that means I’ll be recipe-testing soon for a carob bar of my own.
