Herby Waffles

This is something else that's always in the freezer for emergency packed lunch or picnic food as an alternative to bread (unless Mini Monster has snuck them all out of the kitchen while cooling…). They are light enough that even taken out of the freezer that morning, they have defrosted by lunchtime. Team 3 or 4 triangles with some strips of meat (or other suitable protein), veg sticks and cherry tomatoes as an alternative to a sandwich.

1 cup wheat free white bread flour

1 tsp egg replacer

1 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp caster sugar

1 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 cup oat milk (or other milk substitute)

1 tsp vanilla

Heat waffle iron on a medium heat.

Put dry ingredients and herbs in a bowl and mix together.

Add the milk substitute.

Slowly beat into the rest of the ingredients with a balloon whisk or wooden spoon until a thick smooth batter is formed.

Brush (or spray) waffle iron with a little oil.

Pour batter into hot waffle iron and cook. If, like me, you are not using an electric one, turn  over frequently and continue to cook until it stops steaming.

Remove from waffle iron and put on a plate while you continue to cook the rest of the batter. The above recipe makes about 4 rounds on my waffle iron. 

These freeze brilliantly for when needed
