Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1 rib of celery, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 good handful fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste,
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/4 cup oat flour
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon vegan worcestershire sauce
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Arrange black beans on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes. The beans should be slightly dried out and not wet.
Step 2
Cook onion, celery, and garlic in a pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until onion turns translucent. Take off the stove and let cool as you prepare the next step.
Step 3
Once the beans have dried out slightly, take out of the oven and briefly cool. Place in a mixing bowl and mash beans with a fork, leaving about half the beans whole.
Step 4
Once you’ve mashed the beans, add in the cooked veggies and remaining ingredients. Mix until combined. Let sit for a few minutes as you heat up the waffle iron.
Step 5
Lightly oil both sides of your waffle iron so the black bean mixture does not stick. When your waffle iron is heated, add a big spoonful of the mixture into each section of your waffle iron (as opposed to one spoonful in the center, as this mixture will not spread like a typical waffle batter). Close your waffle iron and let your waffles cook. They will be firm and browned on the outsides when they are ready (about 3 minutes, depending on your waffle maker).
