Gluten-Free Homemade Graham Crackers

on Dec 28 2025
Prep Time 2 hours 20 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 35 minutes
Serving Size about 2 dozen crackers

Ingredients

  • 2⅓ cups (11.625 oz) Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix
  • ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon (4 oz) brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons butter, cut into ¼-inch dice and well chilled
  • 3 tablespoons molasses
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla

Directions

  1. Whisk together the Baking & Pancake Mix, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  2. Add the cold diced butter and cut it in with a stand mixer or pastry blender until the mixture looks like pea-size crumbs.
  3. Stir the molasses into the warmed milk until dissolved, then mix in the vanilla. Add the liquids to the dry mixture and blend well. Turn the dough onto plastic wrap and pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch high. Wrap and chill well, at least 2 hours.
  4. Divide the dough in half. Roll each piece to ⅛ inch thick between plastic wrap or parchment, top and bottom, then transfer to parchment-lined sheet pans. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 2 or 3 inch squares, starting about ½ inch from the edge all around the pan. Poke all over with a fork and bake in a preheated 325°F oven about 15 minutes, until the edges are just starting to brown and the sheen is gone from the tops.
  5. Let the crackers cool slightly. They break best while still slightly warm. Gently pull the parchment out of the pan and use the edge of the sheet pan as a wedge to break the crackers along the score lines, pressing gently on each side. If they will not break cleanly, cut again with the pizza cutter or knife.

    There is something special about a homemade graham cracker: warm with molasses and cinnamon, crisp at the edges, and just right for snacking or stacking into s'mores. These gluten-free grahams taste like the childhood classic you remember, with none of the gluten and no compromise on flavor. Made with our Baking & Pancake Mix, they come together like a simple pastry dough, and the smell as they bake is pure nostalgia. Deliciously gluten-free, the way Pamela's has done it since 1988.

    Chef's note

    Trim and discard the uneven outer margins, or crush them into graham cracker crumbs to save for later. They are perfect for s'mores bars and pie crusts.

    To keep it gluten-free

    Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix is GFCO-certified gluten-free, so these grahams are the real thing without the gluten.

    Variations

    • Crispier crackers: roll the dough slightly thinner and bake a minute or two longer.
    • Cinnamon-sugar grahams: sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar before baking.
    • Honey-graham flavor: add 1 tablespoon honey along with the molasses.

    Make ahead & storage

    • Make the dough up to 2 days ahead and keep it chilled, or freeze it up to 1 month.
    • Store baked crackers airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week.

    We've Got Answers

    Yes. These use Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix for crisp, molasses-sweetened grahams with no gluten.

    Chilling for at least 2 hours firms the butter so the dough rolls out cleanly and the crackers hold their shape and crisp up in the oven.

    Roll the dough to ⅛ inch, score it into squares before baking, and break along the lines while the crackers are still slightly warm.

    Can I use the dough scraps?

    Yes. They are made with Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix, which is GFCO-certified gluten-free.
