Do you mean coconut oil at room temperature as in melted coconut oil?
Unless otherwise noted, coconut oil is measured solid.
I really wanted to make cheesecake with a graham cracker crust for valentines day (my all time favorite dessert!) so I made a batch of your graham crackers yesterday. I subbed honey for the sugar, but kept everything else the same. I’m not sure you realize how thick 1/4 inch is. Most store-bought crackers and graham crackers are maybe 1/8″ thick. So I rolled mine to 1/8″ thick between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Then I cut them into squares and transfered them carefully to a baking sheet with parchment paper on it. My mom, who’s kitchen I was using at the time, said “Why don’t you just roll it out directly on the parchment paper?” Thanks for pointing that out after I’m done! Anyway, I had to bake them longer than 8-10 minutes, more like 15-18. The first batch I pulled out early and they were still soft and not getting crisp as they cooled, but I was making graham cracker crust anyway, so I blitzed them in the food processor, spread the crumbs on the baking sheet, and baked for another 10 minutes at 300 degrees to dry them out/crisp them up. Now I have perfect crumbs for my cheesecake that I’ll make tomorrow.
Then I decided to make a second batch and keep them as actual crackers to eat (I used to love them with applesauce on them, or dipped into yogurt. I baked them 15-18 minutes until they were golden brown and they were perfect. Next I will be making some marshmallows (from scratch with honey and maple syrup) and making s’mores!
Can you use regular molasses?
Tana – I only keep Organic Unsulphured Molasses in my pantry, in theory they should both work the same, the regular is just not as healthy.
