The story of manna, the “bread of heaven,” is one of the most fascinating accounts in the Bible. When the Israelites wandered in the wilderness for 40 years, God provided manna daily as a sign of His love and sustenance (Exodus 16:4). Described as being “like coriander seed” and tasting “like wafers made with honey” (Exodus 16:31), manna symbolizes God’s miraculous provision. Come make this manna wafers recipe and see what God sent for the Israelites.
Although we cannot recreate manna as it fell from heaven, we can craft a recipe inspired by its biblical description. These manna wafers are a sweet, delicate treat that can serve as a thoughtful addition to any meal or biblical-themed gathering.

Manna in the Bible
Manna was a direct answer to the Israelites’ prayers in the wilderness, showcasing God’s care for His people:
- Exodus 16:4:
“Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day.'”
This story reminds us of God’s daily provision, both physically and spiritually. Manna is often compared to Jesus, the “Bread of Life,” as He nourishes and sustains our souls (John 6:35).
