One afternoon, reminiscing about my grandmother's famous almond biscotti, I had a craving. A fierce one. But, of course, traditional biscotti are a no-go on a keto diet. I moped around for a bit. Then it struck me – what if I could create something similar, but keto-friendly? That thought sparked a mission, and after several attempts (and a few failed batches), these Saffron & Almond Keto Wafers were born. They're delicate, crisp, and infused with the exotic flavor of saffron. Trust me you will enjoy these.
I’ve always felt that saffron brings a touch of luxury to any dish, and these wafers are no exception. Combined with the nutty goodness of almonds and a hint of almond extract, they're incredibly satisfying. Plus, they're so easy to make – even a novice baker can whip them up in no time. These wafers are perfect with a cup of coffee or tea, as a light dessert, or even as a crunchy topping for keto-friendly ice cream. Seriously though, this recipe is so good.
The beauty of this recipe, lies, not just in its taste, but also in its versatility. Feel free to adjust the sweetness level to your liking, or add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors. I know what some might say. "Why almond?", well let me tell you, almond is a good source of vitamins, and nutrients. So now you have it: Saffron & Almond Keto Wafers are not just a keto treat; they're a celebration of flavors and textures that will satisfy your cravings without derailing your diet. What are you waiting for? You really should go make them now!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
- In a food processor, combine the almond flour, allulose, and saffron threads. Pulse until the saffron is finely ground and evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the melted coconut oil and almond extract. Stir well with a rubber spatula until a dough forms. It may seem a bit crumbly at first, but keep mixing—it'll come together. *Tip: If the dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it reaches the right consistency.*
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out to about 1/8 inch (3mm) thickness. The thinner the wafers, the crispier they'll be! *Don't worry if the edges aren't perfectly even.*
- Carefully peel off the top layer of parchment paper. Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut the dough into desired shapes (squares, rectangles, diamonds—get creative!). *I love using cookie cutters for fun shapes!*
- Gently transfer the parchment paper with the cut wafers onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the wafers are evenly spaced to allow for proper baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them—they can burn quickly. *The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so start checking at 10 minutes.*
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the wafers cool completely on the baking sheet. They'll crisp up as they cool. *Trust me, resist the urge to eat them while they're still warm—they're much better when they're cool and crunchy!*
- Once cooled, carefully transfer the saffron & almond keto wafers to an airtight container. Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to a week. *They're so good, they probably won't last that long, though!*
📝 Notes
- For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of coconut oil. Just make sure it's cooled slightly before adding it to the dough.
- If you don't have parchment paper, you can grease the baking sheet very well, but the wafers might be a bit harder to remove.
