I know your wondering how something so plain as a waffle could have all of these great titles, right? It's all in the good-for-you ingredients that I adapted from the Low-Carb Gourmet recipe Colin's Omega Waffles (by Karen Barnaby). My recipe is pretty far from the original, but it is strongly based off of it. Ingredients:
1/2 cup flax seed meal |
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds |
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut (you may use sweet, but it isn't recommended) |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons honey (omit if you use sweet coconut) or 1/4 cup splenda granular (if your a low-carber) |
2 bananas (any size, depends on how much you like banana) |
1 cup unsweetened soymilk (not 100% necessary, you may use normal) |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
Directions:
1. In a blender or food processor, combine the flaxseed meal, pumpkin seeds, coconut, cinnamon, and salt. Blend Until Pumpkin seeds are finely ground.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the bananas and 1/2 cup of the soy milk. Add the pumpkin seed mixture and combine well. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
3. When you are ready to make the waffles, stir in the baking powder and the remaining 1/2 cup soy milk; beat well.
4. Set your waffle maker to high and, following the manufacturer's directions, cook the waffles until light brown.
5. ENJOY!
6. For the Vegan option omit the honey and use another sweetener.
