Waffles Perfect (Vegan)

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.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 8-10
• Yields: 8-10 waffles

Ingredients

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