    Whole Wheat Waffles with Tofu

    This recipe ultimately makes non-dairy waffles that have a higher fiber content and lower sugar content than most treats of this nature. I use my vitamix blender to do these, but you could just as well use a whisk or hand mixer very thoroughly. I’d recommend a bowl with high sides and a narrower bottom, if you must go that route.

    Makes 4-6 waffles (not meant for Belgian style molds; you’ll find it too thin of a batter)

    1/2 C flour
    1/2 C whole wheat flour (or whole wheat pastry flour)
    1/2 tsp salt
    3 tsp baking powder
    1 cup light soy milk
    3 oz silken tofu
    1 egg
    1 T honey
    1/2 tsp – 1 tsp cinnamon, orange zest, almond extract or other flavorings you prefer
    real maple syrup

    Mix dry ingredients and set aside. Mix rest of ingredients and blend very well; if in blender, on high for 1-2 minutes, if with hand mixer or whisk, until very, very smooth and thin. Slowly add dry mixture. Let sit 2 minutes before using.

    Warm your syrup and plates when serving.
