Cinnamon Graham cracker crumbs are a very popular ingredient in baking, especially in the preparation of desserts like cheesecakes, tarts, and pie crusts. These crumbs come from crushing Graham crackers, which are whole wheat and slightly sweet crackers originating from the United States, known for their crunchy texture and mild flavor with a hint of honey and whole wheat.
The addition of cinnamon provides a warm and spicy aroma that enhances the flavor of the crumbs, making them perfect for recipes that seek a balance between sweetness and a characteristic spicy note. The combination is ideal for creating crunchy textures in both cold and hot desserts.
Properties: Graham crackers are typically made with whole wheat flour, making them an option with a bit more fiber compared to traditional cookies, although since they are sweet, it is important to use them in moderation. Cinnamon, for its part, is known for its antioxidant properties and its ability to improve digestion and add flavor without the need for additional sugar.
Synonyms in Latin America: Although the term "Graham cracker crumbs" is quite specific and primarily used in imported or adapted recipes, in some countries these crumbs may be found under names such as “crushed whole wheat cinnamon cookies” or simply “crushed whole wheat cookies with cinnamon”. It is also common to refer to them as "cinnamon cookie powder" or "spiced cookie crumbs", depending on the region.
In summary, cinnamon Graham cracker crumbs are a delicious option for incorporating distinctive textures and flavors into your dessert recipes, providing a traditional and aromatic touch that elevates any sweet dish.
