What's your go to kids snack? My boys typically have popcorn and some type of fruit, or their favorite Annie's chocolate bunny grahams. Since I've been transitioning to all real food, they are missing that chocolate "cookie". I found this recipe for whole wheat graham crackers, that I modified and tried.
Tip: the easiest way to get kids to accept something new, is to get them involved in the cooking process. Little cookie cutters that the kids pick out, and help to cut will help them to take ownership excited about trying something new!
These are not real sweet, but my kids gobbled them right up!
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup dark cocoa powder
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. cinnamon
3 T. honey
1/2 c. water
1 t. vanilla
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
Place all your dry ingredients in the bowl of your mixer and combine. Add all of the wet ingredients and mix with the cookie paddle attachment until everything comes together. The dough isn’t sticky and is moderately greasy.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Divide the dough in half and roll half out on a floured surface. Roll to about 1/4 inch thick. You can treat the dough like a sugar cookie dough and cut out shapes or you can use a pizza cutter and cut out squares. Place the cut out crackers on a parchment-paper-lined cookie sheet, prick them with a fork, and bake for 8-12 minutes until the edges just slightly darken. They will harden up more as they cool. Store in an air tight container.
