Rosemary & Orange Waffle
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1/3 cup apple sauce
- 1/3 cup water
- 4 tablespoons fresh rosemary, divided
- 2 tablespoons orange peel, divided
- 2 tablespoons ground flax meal
- 2 cups soy milk (or milk of your choice)
Directions
Preheat waffle iron.
Whisk together flour, agave, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
Whisk together milk and orange juice, in a small pot and add 2 tablespoons rosemary and 1 tablespoon orange zest. Warm on low heat for 10 minutes, and stain out rosemary and zest. Mix milk with apple sauce, flax and water in another bowl, and let sit for 5 minutes to let flax thicken. Mix in 2 tablespoons rosemary and 1 tablespoon orange zest, and then whisk into flour mixture until just combined.
Brush hot waffle iron lightly with coconut oil and pour a slightly rounded 1/2 cup of batter into each waffle mold. Cook waffles according to manufacturer’s instructions until golden and cooked through (about 3 minutes). Transfer as cooked to rack in oven to keep warm, keeping waffles in 1 layer to stay crisp. Make more waffles in the same way.
