Why I Love Brazilian Vegan Peanut Sequilho
The Vegan Peanut Sequilho is one of those recipes that exemplify my love for the fusion between American comfort and health-consciousness. The vibrant and heartening American spirit meets the tropical vivaciousness and health-consciousness of Brazilian cuisine; it’s a mouth-watering harmony that invigorates the senses! 
Where East Meets West: A Delicious Fusion
As someone who grew up in the sunny valleys of California, the land of avocados, and quaint vineyards, every dish I cook carries a touch of this sunny West Coast health-consciousness harmoniously blended with comfort food. I must attribute my fascination with international cuisine to great chefs like Jamie Oliver who continually inspire me with their innovative and global approach to food. When I first came across the Brazilian traditional recipe of Sequilho, it instantly reminded me of the good old-days of peanut butter sandwiches. A tweak here and a twist there, and voila! The Vegan Peanut Sequilho came into existence.
A Delightful Crowd-Pleaser
The best thing about the Vegan Peanut Sequilho is its versatility. these crumbly, delightful mouthfuls would make a fine pairing with a cup of tea or coffee during snack-time. Or perhaps, serve them as a healthy sweet treat in kids’ lunch boxes, or, indeed, as a pop-in-your-mouth finger-food at the next family gathering! What’s more, its delightful crunch and the tantalizing mix of sweet and salty make it a great companion to a fresh, crisp Waldorf salad, creating a perfect balance of tastes and textures on your dinner table.
The Vegan Peanut Sequilho offers a wonderful opportunity to explore different culinary cultures, bringing the best of the Brazilian kitchen into our own homes. It’s just one way to turn the ordinary into something truly extraordinary, reaffirming my belief in the magic and joy of cooking!
What You’ll Need
- 2 cups of raw peanuts
- 1.5 cups of raw sugar
- 3 cups of wheat flour
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup of soy milk
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- A pinch of salt
Method
Step One
Get all the needed ingredients ready: 2 cups of raw peanuts, 1.5 cups of raw sugar, 3 cups of wheat flour, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, 1/3 cup of soy milk, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt.
Step Two
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
Step Three
Spread the raw peanuts on another baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes. Let them cool completely.
Step Four
Once the peanuts are cool, transfer them to a food processor or blender and pulse until you get a fine meal, be careful not to make peanut butter.
Step Five
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground peanuts, raw sugar, wheat flour, baking powder and salt. Mix everything together until the ingredients are well combined.
Step Six
In a separate bowl, mix together vegetable oil and soy milk. Gradually add the liquid mixture to the large bowl with dry ingredients and mix everything together until you get a smooth dough.
Step Seven
Take a small amount of dough and roll it into a ball about the size of a walnut then place it on the prepared baking sheet. Continue this process until all the dough is used.
Step Eight
Use a fork to flatten each cookie, creating a crisscross pattern on the top. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden.
Step Nine
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool before serving. Enjoy your Vegan Peanut Sequilho!
