Guess what? I went all out with peanut flour. I made you chocolate wafers! You know, the ones a certain company that rhymes with Rabisco doesn't make anymore. (Seriously, what is up with that?) Anywhooo. I knew a world without chocolate wafers simply would not do. I had to bring them back into this lovely world of ours, preferably in a way that still allows me to zip up my Jeans. So my new BFF peanut flour and I got together for a play date in the kitchen. We had fun. We made a mess. (Not too big a mess, though, because this recipe is actually super easy to make!) I can't believe that I have never a) baked with peanut flour or b) made slice and bake cookies before! It makes everything so simple and I could not have been happier with these wafers. They are crispy yet chewy, chocolatey and not too sweet, but certainly not bitter, and after your first taste of dough (like you won't have one), you'll know how incredible the wafers are going to taste. I seriously considered not baking them. Just don't eat all the cookies as soon as you bake them, 'kay?

Ingredients You Need for Homemade Chocolate Wafers [Vegan]

  • 3/4 cup peanut flour
  • 6 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup erythritol or xylitol
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup mashed banana or applesauce (or even pumpkin would probably work!)
  • 2 Tablespoons almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

How to Prepare Homemade Chocolate Wafers [Vegan]

  1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine peanut flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol or xylitol, salt, and baking soda, and pulse a few times to combine. Add in the mashed banana or applesauce and pulse several times. With the processor running, add in the almond milk and vanilla extract and continue to process until the mixture forms a dough and clumps around the blade or sides of the bowl. Transfer the dough to a bowl and knead a few times to bring it all together. Form the dough into a long, thin-ish log and wrap in plastic wrap or foil and chill until firm, for at least an hour, or until you need it.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  3. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside. Fetch your dough log from the refrigerator, unwrap it, and slice into about 45 thin and even slices (about 1/4-1/8 inch each), and place them all, pressing each one into a uniform circle if needed, an even distance away from each other on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the oven at 350F for 12 to 15 minutes and let cool for about 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. (The cookies with crisp as they cool.) Store in the refrigerator and save for late night snack attacks.
