Vegan Graham Crackers

If making s’mores is the only occasion when you think about graham crackers, perhaps you should toss out the brand of graham crackers you’re using and make your own. These vegan graham crackers are easy to bake and can be eaten alone, used as a dipper, crushed into pie or vegan cheesecake crusts, or crumbled over dairy-free ice cream.
