Oblaten

Oblatens are very thin unleavened wafers used both as a baking ingredient (for cake decorations and layered confections) and in religious contexts such as communion. They are known for their crisp, neutral texture and minimal flavor, which makes them useful as a light, unobtrusive vehicle for spreads or decorations. Nutritionally they are mainly a source of quick energy, with 77g of carbohydrates per 100 g; they are very low in fat and sugar compared with many sweet biscuits and are relatively low in fiber and micronutrients. From a health perspective, wafers are a low-fat, low-sugar, low-flavor pantry item but offer only modest protein and limited vitamins and minerals, and are typically a fairly processed grain product—so they work fine in small amounts or as a neutral baking component, but choosing whole-grain alternatives will increase fiber and nutrient content when desired.
