Cinnamon Sugar Sourdough Crackers

A sweet and crunchy snack, these Sourdough Cinnamon Sugar Sourdough Crackers are ready in under an hour and are a great way to use extra sourdough starter!

Cinnamon sugar is a classic combination that is so delicious! If you have some extra sourdough starter around, these crackers are the easiest thing to make! These crackers taste like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but in bigger form!

Don't get me wrong, I love baking with my sourdough starter! You can make baked sourdough donuts, sourdough scones, sourdough discard banana bread, sourdough discard pancakes, sourdough discard waffles, sourdough chocolate chip muffins, and even sourdough crackers with herbs and olive oil crackers!

What's In These Crackers?

Ingredients for the Cinnmon Sugar Sourdough Crackers

Use up some of that extra sourdough starter with these crunchy, dessert crackers. With only a few ingredients, you'll be enjoying fresh, homemade crackers in under an hour.

Sourdough Starter- Sourdough starter or "discard" is the extra starter you have when you feed your starter. You feed your starter to activate it and bake bread, but you do not need to use all your starter when feeding your starter. The extra, or discard, is what you will use here.

Flour- I like to use a combination of whole wheat and all purpose flours. The whole wheat flour gives these crackers a little nutty flavor.

Cinnamon and Sugar- I made my own cinnamon and sugar, but if you find it easier, there are cinnamon and sugar spices that you can buy in the grocery store.

Let's Make The Crackers!

Add all the ingredients to a bowl — **Step 1:** Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together the flours, starter, 4 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon sugar mixture.

A fork is mixing all the ingredients together — **Step 2:** Mix the ingredients together. The dough will get stiff, so if you need to use a wooden spoon, that will work as well.

two discs of dough, wrapped individually and ready to be placed in the refrigerator — **Step 3:** Divide the dough into two discs. Wrap each of the discs in plastic wrap and allow the dough to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

The cinnamon sugar sourdough cracker dough is rolled on parchment paper lined baking sheet — **Step 4:** After 30 minutes, it's time to roll out the dough. Roll out one disc of dough at a time. Roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and place it on a baking sheet.

Cinnamon and Sugar is being sprinkled over the dough — **Step 5:** Brush the dough with some of the melted butter. Sprinkle the dough with the cinnamon sugar.

The dough is cut and a fork is pricking the dough so it does not puff up too much — **Step 6:** Cut the dough into crackers. Bake for 25 minutes or until the dough is crispy. Let it cool and then break apart the crackers and serve.

Questions about this Recipe?

Can I make these ahead of time?

Once baked, they should be eaten immediately. They tend to go stale quickly. If you want to make them ahead of time, make the dough and allow it to sit in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight and then bake them when you are ready. Once baked, they should be kept in an air tight container for up to three days.

Can I make these vegan?

Absolutely! Instead of melted butter, you can use your favorite non dairy butter or even coconut oil.

What are other variations of these crackers?

The main ingredients for these crackers are the flours, starter, and butter. Omit the cinnamon and sugar and try these flavor combinations instead!
