Ingredients

1 3/4 cups organic all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups organic graham flour (coarse whole-wheat flour)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon organic ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
8 ounces non-hydrogenated margarine, such as Earth Balance
3/4 cup organic sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons organic molasses

Instructions

For the graham crackers: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Whisk together the flours, baking soda, cinnamon and sea salt in a bowl. Beat together the margarine, sugar, molasses on medium speed in a mixer until light and fluffy (scrape down sides). Add the flour mixture and mix until well incorporated.
Roll out 1/8-inch thick on a baking sheet and use a cutting wheel to cut into rectangles and prick with fork. Transfer each cracker to an ungreased baking sheet using a spatula, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes, rotating halfway through. Cool completely (crackers will be crisp). Halve 12 of the graham crackers and reserve for the s'mores. Set aside the remaining graham crackers for another use.
For the s'mores: Thread a marshmallows onto a skewer and toast over a flame until melted. Sandwich 1/2 ounce chocolate, one slice banana, and a melted marshmallow between two graham crackers. Repeat to make 12 s'mores.

PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe

This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
