Ingredients

• 270g (2¼ cups) White Spelt Flour (divided)

• 48g (¼ cup) Sugar

• 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

• ½ tsp Baking Soda

• ¼ tsp Salt

• 42g (2 tbs) Pure Maple Syrup

• 42g (2 tbs) Molasses

• 30g (2 tbs) Unsweetened Applesauce

• 28g (2 tbs) Butter, melted and slightly cooled

• 1 tbs Non-Fat Milk

• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

1. Prepare Baking Sheets:
   Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and place a large Silpat or clean surface on your counter for rolling the dough.

2. Set Aside Flour:
   In a small bowl, set aside ¾ cup of the white spelt flour.

3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 1½ cups of white spelt flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.

4. Combine Wet Ingredients:
   In a large bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, molasses, applesauce, melted butter, non-fat milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

5. Combine Wet and Dry:
   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Fold together until a dough forms.

6. Knead the Dough:
   Dust the Silpat (or counter) with the reserved ¾ cup of white spelt flour. Knead the dough gently until it comes together into a smooth ball. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

7. Roll and Cut:
   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll the dough out to approximately ⅛" thickness. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into cracker-sized squares. Carefully transfer each square to the prepared baking sheets using a spatula.

8. Dock and Bake:
   Dock the dough (poke small holes) with a fork to prevent puffing. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the edges of the crackers are lightly browned.

9. Cool Completely:
   Slide the parchment paper with the crackers onto a wire cooling rack. Let them cool completely before serving or storing.
