I feel so much better when I can give my kids homemade food and snacks. It is so nostalgic to eat graham animal crackers, but unfortunately they’re filled with ingredients I don’t like giving my kids.
So here’s a super easy recipe to make your very own delicious animal crackers (my son loves dinosaurs so I shaped them like that) 🦕🦖
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 or 4 tablespoons honey
I large egg
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
I teaspoon vanilla extract
I cup all-purpose flour
1.5 cup whole wheat flour
I teaspoon baking powder
DIRECTIONS
1. In a bowl, mix the butter, sugar and honey until well combined.
2. Add the egg and vanilla, and continue to whisk until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients - all-purpose four, whole wheat flour, baking powder and cinnamon, then mix this into your butter.
4. Shape the dough flat wrap in cling wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5. Pre-heat the oven to 350°F Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll half of the dough to a 1/4" thickness.
6. Using Cookie Cutters, place the crackers evenly onto the baking sheets and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
