Waffles Perfect (Vegan)

Enjolinfam's Note:

Yummy nutritious vegan waffles. I made these for a cooking demonstration at my previous university and they were a hit! This recipe was adapted from the NEWSTART Lifestyle Cookbook. Keep them healthy by pouring fresh blended apples with some cinnamon on top or my Mango Pear Syrup.

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 8-10

Yield: 8.0 waffles

• 4 cups water
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• ¼ cup natural cane sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups rolled oats
• ¾ cup cornmeal or ¾ cup millet flour
• ¾ cup whole wheat flour

Directions:

1. Process all ingredients in a blender until smooth. For small blenders, blend with less of the water, then pour into a pitcher and add remaining water.
2. Pour onto preheated, nonstick waffle iron, using enough batter to cover grids and edges.
3. Bake until steaming stops, from 7 to 14 minutes, depending on the waffle iron style. If batter gets too thick, add more water and blend before pouring. In my waffle iron I have to make sure to put a generous amount of batter on the iron or it will stick. Waffles may be frozen and reheated in toaster or oven. For variation, blend in a banana.

This was pretty good. I did not think it was sweet enough, so i may add some extra sugar or agave in the future. It took 7 minutes in my waffle iron.

I was out of eggs, and my son wanted waffles, and these were really good. I did use half rice milk and half water for the liquid, but that was the only change. Oh, I was worried about the thin batter, so I added 1/4 cup more flour, then I read the reviews that said the thin batter was normal and worked fine. :) I will make these again!

Great! I loved them! I was worried about the thin batter, but they worked just fine. I had to let them cook a couple extra minutes in my Belgian waffle maker so they cooked through. But I loved how easy these were to make. I used a food processor instead of a blender. Worked great until I tried to pour from it... I then moved the batter to a bowl and ladled it...
