Instructions
  1. 1. First you will toast the oats. To do this, lay your oats in a thin layer on a rimmed cookie sheet. Toast them in the oven for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees. After 10 minutes, stir them around, and toast another 5 minutes. Let them cool for a few minutes before using.
  2. 2. Next, add the warm oats to the food processor and pulse until you have a rough flour consistency.
  3. 3. Keeping the oats in the food processor, add in the brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, oil, and maple syrup. Pulse until combined. You will then add water, 1 tablespoon at a time until a dough forms.
  4. 4. Once you have a the right consistency, turn the dough out onto a piece of parchment paper. and form it into a ball. Roll it with a rolling pin to about 1/4 inch thick. Using a knife, cut them into 2.5 inch squares.
  5. 5. Transfer the squares to a parchment lined baking sheet.
  6. 6. To make them look like real graham crackers, press a toothpick lengthwise down the center of each square, going about a 1/4th of the way down. Then use a fork to add the dots on each side of the line, also only going about 1/4th of the way down.
  7. 7. Place them in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, turn the pan and bake another 10 minutes. They will feel slightly soft fresh out of the oven but they crisp up as they cool. Enjoy!
