Preparation

1. Add flaxseed meal and water to a medium sized bowl
   and stir. Let rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
   Preheat your waffle iron according to its manufacturer’s
   instructions.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the black-eyed pea
   flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
   Add the milk, melted coconut oil (or other oil), and
   vanilla extract (if using) to the bowl with the flaxseed
   mixture, Mix well.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry
   ingredients. Stir until just combined. Don’t overmix; a
   few lumps are okay.
   Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a
   small amount of oil.
4. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the
   preheated waffle iron, following the manufacturer’s
   instructions for your specific waffle iron. The amount
   may vary depending on the size of your waffle maker.
5. Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are
   golden brown and crisp. The cooking time can vary, but
   it’s typically around 3-5 minutes.
6. Carefully remove the waffles from the iron, and keep
   them warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining
   waffles if needed.
7. Serve your black-eyed pea waffles with your favorite
   toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup and whipped
   cream or serve them with our Harissa Maple Caramel
   Sauce and Pan-fried Mushrooms for a savory, sweet and
   spicy vegan twist on the classic Chicken & Waffles.
