Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. In a medium bowl, mix together the first five ingredients. In a separate bowl cream together the coconut oil, sweetener, vanilla and eggs. Slowly add in the coconut flour mixture until you have a thick dough.

Grease 2 pieces of parchment paper with coconut oil spray. Place dough in between the greased parchment and roll the dough to about 1/8 inch thick (try to make it even throughout or the thinner areas will burn). Remove top parchment and use a pizza cutter to score the dough into Graham cracker shapes. Use a fork to poke holes in down the cracker (see photo). Place the parchment onto a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Serve with unsweetened coconut milk or almond milk.

CHOCOLATE VARIATION:
-Replace:
1. Chocolate whey for vanilla whey
2. Chocolate extract for vanilla extract
3. Chocolate stevia in place of stevia glycerite
-Add in 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
