Sweet Sourdough Crackers with Cinnamon Sugar
These sweet sourdough crackers with cinnamon sugar are made from sourdough discard or unfed sourdough starter.
Most sourdough crackers recipes are savory – but this one will delight the sweet tooths.
The great thing about this sweet sourdough crackers recipe is you can make the crackers as sweet as you want to – if they are for the kids, you could decrease the sugar very easily.
How To Make Sweet Sourdough Crackers
Making these sweet sourdough crackers with cinnamon sugar could not be easier!
They will utilise 150g of sourdough discard. You could easily double the recipe though if you want to use more.
Here’s how to make sweet sourdough crackers with cinnamon sugar.
- Add sourdough discard, flour, salt, butter, vanilla extract and sugar to a mixing bowl.
- Bring the ingredients together until it forms a smooth, pliable dough. You might need to work the dough around the bowl to ensure all the flour is incorporated.
- Roll out the dough to a thin layer. You might need to place it in the fridge if it becomes sticky.
- Cut into crackers.
- Top with olive oil and cinnamon sugar.
- Bake!
You can control the sugar in this recipe. You could decrease the sugar by only sprinkling cinnamon before baking, rather than sugar and cinnamon.
If you want to create a truly decadent cracker, why not substitute this whipped honey cinnamon butter for regular butter – it’s sooooooo good!
Using A Cracker Roller
Using a cracker roller will make cutting these crackers much easier. You’ll be able to cut a few trays of crackers in just seconds.
The cracker roller in this photo was purchased at a kitchen shop, but you can buy similar rollers – like this one – online.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with hand cut or rustic crackers. If you don’t have one of these, you can simply use a knife or even a small cookie cutter. You’ll also have to pierce each cracker with a skewer or the tines of a fork.

- Place each parchment paper with dough on top onto a baking sheet. This recipe will generally need two baking trays.
- Brush dough with olive oil and sprinkle liberally with cinnamon and vanilla sugar – you can use as much or as little as you want.
