Homemade Vanilla Wafers

August 20, 2014 by naivecookcooks 28 Comments

Homemade wholesome vanilla wafers! Taste much better than the real deal!

Homemade Vanilla Wafers

Guys these vanilla wafers! I can’t believe that something you grew up eating as snacks can be made at home and that too with better for your health stuff. These wafers are courtesy of Lara Ferroni’s book Real Snacks. Filled with lots of childhood treats both sweet and savorie you grew up eating, this book is every food lovers dream come true. Imagine if you can make ask those pop tarts, doughnuts, fish crackers at home and without most of the junk?? Count me in.

Homemade Vanilla Wafers Ready to Eat

I received my copy of this amazing book through amazon just few days back and I just had to make something before my travel started. If you have been reading, you must be aware of my recent obsession with homemade snacks. Remember those banana chips! Well this book fuels my obsession and I am looking forward to trying many more recipes after my trip. These vanilla wafers! These taste so wonderful with all that vanilla and use of spelt flour gives them a beautiful texture. Not super light but not dense either, these are way better than the store bought kind. I am trying you guys, you should seriously make these. They didn’t last even a day at my place and I found myself going for my seconds, thirds over and over.

    My husband just begged me to buy him Nilla wafers and I did but when I looked at the ingredients, I begged him to get over his obsession. Now he doesn’t have to! Thanks!

    I followed your recipe with one exception; I added vanilla bean. My goal was to use them in banana pudding. While they were cooling, half of the batch mysteriously disappeared. The family comments went from the initial “They’re not bad,” to “These are more gooder than store-bought”.
    Thank you Amishi .
