    Chocolate Teddy Bear Grahams

    Published: Dec 10, 2012 Β· Modified: Apr 29, 2020 by Lauren Β· This post may contain affiliate links Β· 25 Comments

    Baby let me be....your loving' teddy bear....put a chain around my neck, and lead me anywhere.....

    This song (courtesy of Mr. Presley, in case you didn't know) was in my head pretty much the entire time I was making this recipe....

    While patterned after the original, this Teddy Graham recipe is high in protein, low in sugar, and rich in chocolaty taste!

    They're crispy, they're chocolaty, they're freakin' adorable!....but they're so tasty, you won't think twice about biting their cute little heads off....

    CHOCOLATE TEDDY BEAR GRAHAMS

    1/2 c. chickpea flour

    1/2 c. buckwheat flour (measure groats first, then grind)

    1 T. cocoa powder

    1 T. carob powder (or more cocoa)

    1/4 t. baking soda

    1 t. cinnamon

    1/4 t. salt

    2 T. coconut sugar, ground into a powder

    1 T. molasses

    2 T. coconut oil, melted

    1/2 t. vanilla

    5 drops liquid stevia, or another teaspoon of ground coconut sugar

    3-6 T. almond milk (I've used water as well with good results), as needed to create dough

    1 T. sugar mixed with 1 t. cinnamon, optional, to top the crackers with

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the dry ingredients (flours, cocoa, carob, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and coconut sugar). Mix together the wet (molasses, oil, vanilla, stevia, and 3 T. milk or water) in a separate bowl. Mix the dry with the wet. Add more milk/water a teaspoon at a time until the dough is all combined, but not too sticky to handle. Roll the dough into a large ball (p.s. do NOT judge the taste of these by the taste of the dough...chickpea flour is AWFUL when it isn't cooked)....

    ....and put it between a sheet of parchment paper (on bottom) and plastic wrap (on top).....

    Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/8 of an inch. At this point, you can get creative with whatever cookie cutters you have or make them the traditional way with a pizza cutter and a fork.....

    ....top them with the optional cinnamon sugar and bake 'em on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 22 minutes...

    Yum yum!

    ...and you know my favorite way to eat graham crackers?....here's a hint....

    These boys are having a, ahem, bonfire to celebrate the recipe that'll be coming Wednesday! It'll totally have you rethinking the way you've ever made S'mores!

     

    ....just like her shirt says, 'cute, cute, cute'!

      I split the dry ingredients in half and made half chocolate, half cinnamon (using Lauren's suggestion of doubling the cinnamon and vanilla), and I have to say that the cinnamon ones are addictively amazing!! I used chickpea flour and ground gluten free oat groats instead of the buckwheat. The chocolate ones are okay--I might substitute oatmeal flour for the chickpea flour also in them, because you can taste the sourness of the chickpea flour when it's not covered by extra cinnamon and vanilla. LOVE LOVE LOVE the cinnamon though!!! Thanks for the great recipes πŸ™‚

      Hi. I have pre-ground buckwheat flour. Do you know what measurement I should use if I'm not grinding the groats myself?

        Hi there,

        I'm not positive, but I'd say just a bit less than 1/2 cup. You may just need to adjust the amount of milk used to get the right balance. Happy baking!

      Lauren! These are AMAZING!! I just made them for the first time today, and can hardly believe how much they taste like authentic Teddy Grahams! I have many, many allergies, so I have not been able to eat Teddy Grahams for years. I used a generic GF flour mix, and they turned out great! These were so simple to make and so delicious, I don't think I would eat real Teddy Grahams if I could! Thanks for such an outstanding recipe! You are a gem, keep up the good work sister!

      My son can't have chickpea flour. What could I use instead?

        Hi Jamie, I would just use all buckwheat flour. Measure the groats first, and then grind them. πŸ™‚

          What about brown rice and/or amaranth flour? Those are the only two for now my daughter can have.

            I can't really vouch for the amaranth flour, as I haven't worked with it much. If you try brown rice, I would add a binder of some sort like psyllium husks, ground chia, or ground flax.

      These teddy bear grahams look delicious! Of course, I'm a fan of all things chocolate, but I love that you used garbanzo bean flour here for a nice little protein kick. And the low sugar content is certainly a plus. I'll definitely have to add these to my snack rotation!

        That's no problem, I'd just add an extra teaspoon of coconut sugar.

      How many does this make? It looks awesome! I wonder how you can create the cinnamon version...maybe just eliminate the cocoa powder and add vanilla extract and cinnamon.

        Hi Chris, yes, I'd eliminate both the cocoa and the carob, and double the cinnamon and vanilla. You will probably have to lower the liquid as well. Start out with 1 tablespoon and increase it from there. I hope you like them! πŸ™‚
