High -Protein Oat Waffles.

This is another favorite from Reversing Diabetes... I love how crispy they are. If a waffle ain't crispy, it should just be a pancake... as far as I'm concerned. Best thing is that it's all in a blender and a waffle iron.

I always double and freeze leftovers. Here's the doubling for what I do, the single recipe is below.

1 cup dried white beans (cannellini, white kidney or great Northern beans)
4 1/2 cups water
3 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
2 tablespoons agave nectar
2 tablespoons whole flaxseed
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
2 teaspoons salt

The night before: Place the beans in a large bowl and cover generously with water. Refrigerate overnight or for up to a week.

In the morning: Drain the beans, discarding the soaking water. Place in a blender with fresh water and the oats, nectar, flaxseed, baking powder, extracts, and salt. Blend until smooth, light, and foamy. Set aside and preheat a nonstick waffle iron. {Setting asides allows for the flaxseed to do its thickening thang}

Pour a generous 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron, close the iron, and cook for 4-5 minutes. If the iron is hard to open, let the waffle cook for another minute or two.

Repeat with the remaining batter. If the batter thickens while standing, blend or add enough water to return it to its original consistency.

The waffle should be golden brown and crisp (my favorite part). Serve immediately or cool completely on a rack and freeze. Serve with your favorite toppings.
