I love waffles :3 easily my favorite breakfast food. Developing different recipes has been so much fun! Lately I’ve been having one with lots of ground flaxseed and it has been keeping me quite regular. I’ll have one or two of those in the morning with some tofu breakfast/lunch “meat” and a bit of cheapo syrup. There also was a version with pea protein powder that worked out pretty well but I neglected to write down the recipe, oops.


Vegan waffle recipe

Makes 4-5 “standard” belgian waffles, actual amount will vary based on what kind of waffle iron you use.

Equipment

2 bowls, preferably with pouring spouts

Whisk

Measuring cups and spoons

Waffle Iron

Optional: Using a rubber spatula/scraper will help when pouring the batter into the waffle iron.

Dry mix:

1 cup white flour

2-3 tablespoons ground flaxseed

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

Optional: 1-2 teaspoon powdered cinnamon or blend of “sweet” spices.

Wet ingredients:

1 cup plant milk (see notes)

1 tablespoon neutral tasting cooking oil

Optional: 1/2 tablespoon breakfast syrup or granulated sugar will add some flavor and improve the texture of the crust.

Instructions:

  1. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl until combined, set aside

  2. In a seperate bowl, preferably one with a pouring spout, whisk the wet ingredients together vigorously, if using granulated sugar whisk until it is dissolved.

  3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredient bowl and mix until combined but still slightly lumpy. Allow the batter to sit for at least five minutes so the flaxseed can hydrate.

  4. Make the waffles, portions and waffle iron operation will vary. Consult the manual or wing it carefully.

Notes:

  • This recipe may take longer to cook fully compared to other mixes. Ultimately the steam produced by the cooking process is always an accurate indicator of doneness.

  • The dry mix can be made well ahead of time, a double batch fits nicely into a 32 oz deli container.

  • Adjusting the amount of plant milk will make the waffles more or less dense, experiment and adjust to preferences. 2/3 cup dry mix to 1/2 cup wet mix (or 1 cup to 3/4 cup) is my preferred ratio.

  • The batter keeps well overnight if refrigerated in an airtight container but you will need to add a little more liquid and stir thoroughly because it will be very thick.

  • The batter dries like cement, wash the bowl immediately after using.

    I know I’ve not been commenting or scrolling hex recently as much. It’s just cause I’m spending a ton of time with my gf/wife and I really love her. Hours and hours on end everyday. I’m happy to have her.

    death

    My Papa died this morning

    6-12 months was a lie

    “He isn’t in any pain” was a lie

    I was notified by a text message, when I called my parents gave me all the gory details and asked me “so how are you feeling?”. Bewildered, I said “My grandfather just died.”

    Uproarious laughter. End of call.

    I hate these fucking people. I hate them so. fucking. much.

    Edit: okay there was a little bit more communication before the call ended but it was some shit about the trip they were about to go on.

    Emotionally it might as well have been “hahahaha” followed by a click

    Tried joking with my sister (early 20s) about the kirkiversary and apparently she was pretty upset about the phone call. Can’t be serious

    The rest of my family is pretty bothered by it too lmao. Tried explaining his beliefs but they were like “well he was probably clipped out of context” you didn’t even know who this irrelevant fascist was until he got murked.

    Theres this one bar in town that does vegan pub fare, they dont advertise theyre vegan, its actually not even listed that theyre vegan on the menu but like as youre reading it you realize… none of these have meat or animal products (they have like vegan chicken wings or veggie burgers or vegan mozza sticks). Anyway, I really like it and I wanna eat their food tonight but its so far away…

      • So uhhh I don’t have the exact measurements off the top of my head, but we cut up like eight cups of washed carrots without peeling, boiled with some salt till soft, then blended them without the boiling water. Then we cooked up two chopped red onions and a package of tempeh in some oil till that was softened, then added the pureed carrots back in, plus a few cups of coconut milk, and let that heat through. Mixed in some five spice, cinnamon, paprika, and more salt and pepper, and served with some bacon TVP sprinkled on top

        Actually really dense and filling soup, we used unsweetened coconut milk to save a bit on calories but if you want to use like oat milk or add some extra butter to make it creamier that’d work! Next time we’ll probably use a blender instead of a food processor to see if that makes it a little smoother

  • People who care too much about assigned genders of birth are like eugenicists. “Uhmm well you see the skull of AFAB are 0.67% smaller on average so therefore they exhibit more care towards 3.7 year old male boys” this is how you sound like when you do this btw.

    I Saw The TV Glow… I… I… I don’t know what to say. Why can’t I stop crying? I’m crying writing this, I… I don’t even know what I’m feeling right now, I’m just crying non-stop. Half the time it felt like something was flying over my head, the other half it felt like watching myself on screen, always afraid, always lonely, always the different. I never felt like this watching a movie before.

    Even by the end all she could do was conform and apologize. catgirl-cry

    Why did you not believe her?

    Why did you repress?

    Why did you keep conforming?

    You deserved so much more than that.

    apparently vrchat has “age verification” (mass surveillance) now

    and its partnered with fucking persona (company backed by palantir and the fascist us government)

    and they make you pay for their shitty subscription service to even do it

    and somehow people think this is a good thing?

    truly this is why we need to redacted-1redacted-2 the petit bourgeoisie
