PP Navy Oat Waffles
Chef: Sue Stauffacher
Makes: 4
Prep Time: 15
Cook Time: 30
Total Time: 45 minutes depending on size of waffle iron
INGREDIENTS
- ½ c dried white beans (cannellini, great northern, navy) or 1 c white lentils or 1 c millet, soaked overnight and drained
- 1 ¾ c old-fashioned oats
- 2 ¼ c water
- 1 T maple syrup
- 1 T whole flax seed
- 2 1/2 t baking powder
- 2 t vanilla extract
- ½ t salt
DIRECTIONS
- Drain beans and place in a high speed blender. Add the rest of the ingredients, putting in the water last. Blend until smooth and foamy. Set aside and preheat your waffle iron.
- When the griddle is hot, put a generous 1/3 cup of batter onto the center. These waffles take about twice as long to cook (10 minutes at least, but some irons require 13-15) as normal waffles, but they are so crispy, delicious and good for you, that you won’t mind!
TIPS
- To keep these oil-free, I use an Oster brand ceramic waffle iron. I have not had luck with non-stick waffle irons without using a thin film of oil.
- These freeze beautifully. I make a double or triple batch on two waffle irons and have enough for a month. I eat them in both sweet and savory applications and in the place of bread as they are gluten free.
