This family favorite recipe was made for the Forks Over Knives site, I am so happy they loved them!
“Blue Corn is an absolute staple to Pueblo Peoples diets and something that I grew up eating since I was a small child,” says Cocotzin Ruiz. Her blue corn waffles get their fluffy-crunchy texture from a combination of blue cornmeal and whole wheat flour. “They are quite light, and I enjoy eating them without any syrup as the sweetener is already in the batter,” she adds. Look for blue cornmeal, which tastes a little nuttier than yellow cornmeal, in the bulk bins at health food stores or Whole Foods Market. Bob’s Red Mill and Arrowhead Mills both sell it packaged. If you can’t find blue corn, these waffles will still taste great made with yellow cornmeal.
The FOK team loved them with frozen blueberries, but you can also substitute the same measure of fresh or dried blueberries.
Instructions:
1. Preheat waffle iron.
2. In a large measuring cup, use a spoon to stir together almond milk, applesauce, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, blueberries, and walnut pieces.
4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients, mixing with a spoon until smooth.
5. Cook waffles according to waffle iron instructions.
