Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for baking the wafers evenly and creating a perfect golden color.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully blended, forming a smooth liquid base for the dough.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt into the wet mixture, stirring thoroughly until a sticky, well-combined dough forms with no dry patches.
- Shape Wafers: Using a spoon, drop small portions of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them adequately so they bake without sticking together.
- Bake Wafers: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the wafers for 10-12 minutes or until they turn a lovely golden brown, indicating a crisp texture.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the wafers from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet; this helps them set properly for a crunchy bite before serving.
Notes
- To enhance sweetness, you can adjust the maple syrup quantity to taste.
- For extra crispiness, flatten the dough balls slightly before baking.
- Store the cooled wafers in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to one week.
- Substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
