⅓cupsemi-sweet chocolate (chips or chopped from a bar)
1tablespoonmaple syrup
1teaspooncoconut oil
chopped hazelnuts, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place a rack in the middle of the oven.
After you've processed the hazelnuts and coconut, add the arrowroot powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and sea salt. Pulse a couple times to combine.
Add the maple syrup, molasses, coconut oil, non-dairy milk and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Place the lid back on and pulse until the dough starts to form a solid mass. If it isn't clumping together, add hazelnut or coconut meal in tablespoon increments until it starts forming a ball as you pulse the machine.
Remove the blade and scrape the dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Place a big sheet of saran wrap on top of the dough and flatten the dough out with a rolling pin. You want it fairly thin, around a 1/4 inch thickness. Transfer the parchment sheet with the dough to a baking sheet large enough to hold it all. Bake for about 12 minutes or until edges are quite brown and dough feels dry. Cool completely.
Cut giant graham into whatever size cookies you like, removing the super brown edges.
Make the ganache: In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the milk to a boil. Lower it to a simmer and add the chocolate chips, maple syrup and coconut oil. Whisk until chocolate is fully melted, about 3 minutes. Keep warm until ready to use.
Line another baking sheet with parchment. Using a small spatula as a chocolate dry-walling tool of sorts, brush the ganache onto the cut grahams. Lay them on the parchment-lined sheet and garnish with chopped hazelnuts while they're still wet. Repeat with remaining grahams. Place in the fridge to set chocolate more rapidly.

Recipe Notes
These will not taste exactly like graham crackers! They're a bit more pillowy, nutty and complex. Having said that, these would be amazing with a smooshy, molten marshmallow on top.
Vegan and grain-free chocolate hazelnut graham crackers are decadent and wholesome, while remaining grain-free and delicious!
