The Best Vegan Oat & Walnut Waffles (Or Pancakes) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup unbleached white flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped toasted
1/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1 1/3 1 1/3 cups plain soymilk or 1 1/3 cups almond milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon pure maple syrup or 1 teaspoon sugar

Preparation

If toasting walnuts, toast in a single layer on an unoiled baking tray at 350 for 5 to 10 minutes, until fragant and golden brown.
In a large bowl, sift the flours, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg, Stir in the walnuts and oats.
In a separate bowl, stir together the milk, oil, and maple syrup or sugar.
make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.
Do not overmix the batter. When combining wet and dry ingredients, it is better to leave a few lumps than to stir too much.
After mixing, let the batter sit for a few minutes until bubbles form on the top. This 'rest' gives the baking powder time to start working so the waffles (or pancakes) will be lighter.
Preheat waffle iron and lightly oil to prevent sticking.
Use 1/3 cup of batter for each waffle and bake accoring to the directions for your waffle iron.
