Low Fat Waffles

Lazy Sunday!!! Made these quick and delicious low fat waffles this morning... er, well, afternoon... Turned out fantastic!

Low Fat Waffles
Source: This recipe is a combination of multiple vegan waffle recipes I came across. I wanted to make them low fat, to be whole-wheat, and to not stick to the waffle iron.. So I suppose I can't really list a source for this one guys!

Takes about 10 minutes to prep and 15 minutes to cook. Serves 2 people.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tbs vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
• 1 cup non-dairy milk

Directions:

1. Plug in waffle iron and allow time to preheat. In the meantime, combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl, and mix well. Then combine all wet ingredients in a second bowl, and mix well.
2. Pour the wet contents into the dry contents and stir until mixed thoroughly.
3. Spray the waffle iron with cooking spray. (This step is important! If iron is not greased, the waffles will stick!)
4. Use a measuring cup and scoop out waffle mix and pour it into the waffle iron.  Close the iron and let cook until light on iron indicated waffles are ready, or until waffles looks golden (approximately 3-4 minutes). Serve immediately and enjoy!

Easy Tofu Scramble

My lovely friend, Gina, sent me this recipe months ago and I've finally gotten around to whipping it up. It's an easy one that can be done even on your laziest day.  I didn't have many veggies in the house, but feel free to add as many as you like to this delicious scramble.

Takes about 15 minutes, tops.  Serves 1 person.  For more, double the ingredients below.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 package of extra firm tofu
• 1/4 onion (mushrooms or spanish would also be great in here)
• light coating of nutritional yeast
• dash of ground turmeric
• dash of mustard powder
• some garlic
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Begin by sautéing the veggies with a few drops of olive oil until they are slightly brown.
2. Crumble the tofu with your hands into the pan with the veggies.  Note: Do NOT squeeze the access water from the tofu, as the tofu will stick to the pan if it is too dry.
3. Sprinkle a thin layer of nutritional yeast in the pan and stir.  Cook on medium for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned.
4. Next add the remaining seasonings and serve immediately.
