While it may look like a waffle, it certainly is not!
In this recipe, I use my waffle iron as a kitchen hack for those moments when you are in a bind and need a quick side of protein to pair with some leftovers, or whatever you have on hand, without all of the efforts.
Seriously, this recipe has you covered!
Minimal ingredients, little watch time on your part, and is ready in less than 10 minutes! What more can you ask for?
Honestly, it has taken me a few go's at perfecting this recipe, especially to get it to a place where I felt comfortable sharing it and am glad that I finally did.
Since I have been working from home, I have convinced myself that I don't need to worry about having prepared lunches because, well, I am home! This line of thinking has led me to the odd occasion of scratching my head thinking of what to eat.
I have been turning to this recipe on my lunch breaks now that I am working from home, and don't have a protein source to go with my lunch. I am also not willing to spend a good portion of my lunch break in the kitchen to make something from scratch. So this is the perfect go-to to satisfy your cravings.
Makes 1
Ingredients
1/8 cup vital wheat gluten
1 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 Tbsp chickpea flour
1/2 - 3/4 tsp seasoning of choice
1/4 c water
1/2 tsp liquid smoke (optional)
Directions
Spritz a panini press or waffle iron with cooking spray on both top and bottom and turn on high.
In a small bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.
Add the water and liquid smoke and mix well. The dough should be a little wet which is okay.
Pour into your iron, gently spreading with the back of your spoon.
Close iron and cook for 5 - 10 minutes depending on how crispy you like it!
Slice and serve with sauce of your choosing! (I love to top it with some hummus or avocado)
Note: you will want to cook it for a minimum of 5 minutes to ensure that it is cooked through, otherwise, it will be doughy on the inside.
