Flour free Waffles :)

These have to be the healthiest waffles in the world.  I snatched this little gem of a recipe from the book "Seven Secrets", which is a great vegan recipe book that teaches you how to reverse diabetes and cardiovascular disease.  Use applesauce, or a blended mixture of applesauce and strawberries as a topping if you're trying to reduce your blood sugar levels, or caloric intake.   Hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

(GF) To make these waffles gluten free, use a gluten free oat instead of regular quick oats.  I didn't know that existed, but apparently it does!  Bob's Red Mill is one brand that offers them.

Ingredients:

1 C. quick oats

1/4 C. millet or cornmeal

1/4 C. cashews

1/4 C. flaxseeds

2 Tbs. cornstarch

1 Tbs. raisins

1/2 tsp. salt

2 C. water

Directions:

~turn on your waffle iron to get it hot

~put all in a blender and blend smooth

~add a little water, if it becomes too thick to blend

~pour into waffle iron (spray with non-stick spray if it’s an old beat up iron, the newer teflon irons, don’t require spray)

~when the steam stops rising, that is a good indication that they’re ready, and won’t stick to the iron, this could take anywhere between 4 and 12 minutes, depending on how hot your iron gets.

*Top with a vegan butter alternative, such as Smart balance light, and pure maple syrup or agave nectar.
