Whole Wheat Vanilla Wafers

I found this recipe on Heavenly Homemaker’s site; the only thing I do differently is to use vanilla beans instead of vanilla extract. Gregg has always loved a snack of vanilla wafers and peanut butter, and I love that I found such a healthy recipe. I use them when I make Banana Pudding and Mascarpone Cheesecake with Almond Crust.
