Add-in Your Favorite Flavors
1. For a savory result, try using fresh herbs instead of vanilla in the batter.
2. Fold in some shredded cheese at the end to make cheesy, waffle shaped breads.
3. Fold in dried fruit (P2) or fresh fruit.
4. Add cinnamon, orange zest, or food-grade essential oils.
5. Mix in unsweetened shredded coconut or dark chocolate
Bake in Mini Muffin Tins for Snacks
1. Divide batter among mini muffin tins. Stuff with peanut butter, dark chocolate, coconut, natural fruit jam, homemade applesauce, etc. Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes, or until fully cooked through.
Make them Savory and Bake in Donut Moulds
1. See Savory Donut recipe HERE
2. Alternatively, use the waffles as an alternative to sandwich breads.
Chop into small pieces, toast in oil and seasonings, and serve as salad or soup croutons.
Dip in your favorite French toast batter and serve with berries and whipped cream for a French toast brunch.

BONUS TIP: Try baking the batter on a sheet pan (cookie tray) at 350°F until a skewer comes out clean (about 12-15 minutes). Slice the sheet pan “flat bread” into 8 slices – two slices would be one serving. This can be used as a substitute for bread in sandwiches, burgers, or open-faced breakfast “toasts” throughout the week.

Prep Time 10

Course Breakfast, Side Dish

Cuisine American

Servings 8 waffles

Ingredients

2 cups chickpea (garbanzo) flour (about 280 grams)
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs, separated
1½ cups whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
½ cup unsweetened soy, almond, or whole milk
½ cup neutral-tasting vegetable oil, plus more for waffle iron
1 tsp vanilla extract
fruit, whipped cream, or a little maple syrup for serving

Instructions

First, preheat your waffle iron.
Then, in a large bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, salt and baking soda.
Next, in a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks, yogurt, milk, oil and vanilla. Stir wet ingredients into dry.
In another bowl, beat egg whites with a whisk or hand mixer until they hold firm peaks. Gently fold whipped egg whites into batter — it should be on the thick side.
Finally, cook batter in heated waffle iron following manufacturer’s instructions. Serve warm with fruit, whipped cream or maple syrup.
You can also find the recipe here, along with an article from Journal Sentinal on our waffles. If you are looking to substitute other flours for the chickpea flour, I haven’t found a good substitute for this recipe. Nut or coconut flours tend to make them too dense.
