Back to all recipes

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 c 1 to 1 gf flour or regular flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/5 tap cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cup plant milk
  • 1T lemon juice
  • 1T ground flaxseed in 2T water
  • 1 small banana, mashed or applesauce. Or both
  • 1/2 cup aquafaba, whipped to soft peaks, fold in gently

Optional: plant-based protein powder added to dry ingredients. I added 1 scoop of vanilla plant-based protein powder, and it worked great.


RECIPE

  1. Combine flaxseed meal and water, and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Combine plant milk (preferably soy milk, but anything will do) and lemon juice, and allow to curdle.
  3. Combine oat flour, gluten-free or regular flour, baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon, and optional protein powder. Stir to combine.
  4. Stir mashed banana or applesauce into the soured milk mixture. Add the flax mixture.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients together.
  6. Whip aquafaba and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  7. Fold whipped aquafaba into the batter gently until blended but not overmixed.
  8. Use a preheated waffle iron to make your preferred size and shape. This will also work as pancake batter. Very light and fluffy.
  9. Serve this with your favorite toppings…plant-based butter and Maple Syrup, or, for a sweet but high-protein topping, I enjoy frozen blueberries mixed with chia seeds. Add a little water or juice and cook until jam-like.
