INGREDIENTS

WET

• 2 packages Mori-Nu Silken Tofu Firm

• 2 flax "eggs" (2 tbsp flaxseed meal + 6 tbsp water)

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 1/4 cup maple syrup

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

DRY

• 2 1/2 cups rolled oats

• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• Pinch of salt

TOPPINGS

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 3 apples, cored and cubed

• 2 tbsp brown sugar

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tsp corn starch

• 1/4 cup cold water

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a small bowl, mix flaxseed meal with water and let sit for 10 min to form the flax "eggs."

2. To a high-powered blender, add dry ingredients, then process into a flour consistency. Pour into a large bowl.

3. To the same blender (flour residue is okay), add wet ingredients, then process until smooth and no lumps remain.

4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, then mix thoroughly. Batter will be thick.

5. While letting batter rest, pre-heat waffle maker and lightly oil grids. Stir batter occasionally.

6. To cook, scoop batter into the waffle maker and bake according to waffle maker instructions. Repeat with remaining batter.

7. Set cooked waffles on wire rack so they stay crispy, or keep warm in a pre-heated 200ºF oven.

8. While each waffle is baking, make the cinnamon apple topping. To a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add olive oil, then apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook until apples soften a bit, stirring frequently.

9. In a small bowl, stir together the corn starch and cold water to form a slurry. Pour over apples, then stir until starch cooks through and forms a thick sauce.

10. Remove from heat and serve over hot waffles.
