High-Protein Oat Waffles

High-Protein Oat Waffles

The ingredients in this recipes may try and scare you away, but they are delicious.  You just have to remember to soak the beans overnight, other than that they are really easy. Some of the grandchildren are visiting soon and I am going to give these a blind test and see what their reaction is.  Chock full of goodness and low glycemic ingredients.

1/2 cup dried cannellini, white kidney, or Great Northern beans  SOAKED OVERNIGHT.  I put them into a 2 cup measuring cup and fill with water then stick them in the fridge.  Cover them with lots of water because they expand quite a bit.

Assemble all the ingredients near your blender and turn on your waffle maker to heat up. These babies also take longer to cook than normal waffles so the hungry urchins at the table will have to be patient.



2 1/4 cups of water
2 tablespoons of sugar or 1 tablespoon of agave nectar
1 3/4 cup old fashioned oats (not the quick ones)
3/4 tablespoon whole flax seed
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon of salt.

1. drain the beans and place them into the blender along with all the other ingredients. Blend until smooth and light and foamy.
2. At this stage it depends on the size of your waffle maker.  I have one that is a round belgium maker and it makes one 7"waffle and for this one I pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the mix on the waffle maker.  I another maker that makes 4 of the 4"waffles, and this one I pour about 2 cups.
3. Cook for about 8 minutes resisting the urge to lift the lid and check on them.  At about 7 minutes take a peak and if the lid is easy to life fork test and make sure they are crispy.  If not close the lid and continue for another minute or so.
4. briefly blend the mixture again in your blender for the second batch.
5. I freeze the leftovers and pop them into the toaster on another morning during the week for a fast breakfast.
