Annie’s Organic Honey Graham Crackers
Chosen by- Odette D’AnielloFounder & baker, Dragonfly Cakes
Organic whole wheat flour, cane sugar and honey. D’Aniello, a professional baker, uses them for cheesecake and key lime pie crusts: “For a graham cracker crust, I like to keep the flavor fairly simple so it complements the filling and mostly acts as sturdy structure and a nice texture,” and recommends them for snacking too. In most supermarkets.

365 Whole Foods Market Organic Honey Graham Crackers
Chosen by- Bon Appétit staff panel (blind)
- Erin FletterFounder, Sticky Fingers Cooking
Also chosen by- Erin Fletter · Founder, Sticky Fingers Cooking source ↗
Bon Appétit’s best grahams for snacking in a blind tasting: sweetened with honey, cane sugar and molasses, with “strong notes of honey,” floral vanilla, baking spice and an airier crunch than Honey Maid. Fletter, who runs a cooking school for kids, likes “that slightly honey taste and a satisfying crunch,” and crumbles them over Greek yogurt or tops them with soft cheese and fig jam. Whole Foods and Amazon.

Pamela’s Honey Grahams (gluten-free)
Chosen by- Bon Appétit staff panel (blind)
The overall winner of Bon Appétit’s graham cracker tasting, tasted separately from the wheat boxes but judged able to stand “up against the real thing any day”: brown rice, sorghum and oat bran with bold molasses, “deep, layered caramelized notes” and warm spice. Tasters compared them to gingersnaps and honey cake. The gluten-free pick; panel-backed only.
