We’re excited to share with you this weekend’s special recipe: Zeb’s Waffles Rip’s Mom and his brother, Zeb, have had a running contest over the last year to see who could make the best waffle. The inspiration was to turn Rip’s Big Bowl cereal into a waffle! Zeb’s recipe wins! Prep Time: 10 minutes / Cook Time: 5 minutes Makes 4 Square Waffles Ingredients 2½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats ¾ cup finely chopped walnuts ¼ cup flaxseed meal Zest of half orange ½ to ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 medium banana, smashed 1 to 1½ cups Engine 2 Plant-Strong Almondmilk Instruction Preheat waffle iron. In a bowl, combine the oats, walnuts, flaxseed meal, orange zest, and cinnamon. Place two-thirds of the mixture into a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture has a flour-like texture. Return to the bowl with the remaining one-third of the dry ingredients; this step ensures that the waffles have a chunky texture. If you prefer a smoother, uniform texture to your waffles, blend all of the dry ingredients initially. Add the smashed banana and almondmilk to the dry ingredients in the bowl. Mix thoroughly with a fork; the batter will be fairly thick. If you prefer a thinner batter, add more almondmilk. Portion the batter thickly onto a preheated waffle iron and spread it out to all corners. Close the lid and cook the waffle according to the manufacturer’s directions for your waffle iron. When done, remove the waffle from the iron –some waffles require the assistance of a chopstick to encourage release from the waffle iron. Top with fruit of choice and/or syrup and enjoy! Rip’s Tip: THESE RULE. Make the whole batch over the weekend, freeze any extras, and microwave one for a midweek breakfast on the go!
