I have never made waffles before and decided to give it a try this morning.  After looking at endless recipe options, I choose a vegan recipe from one of my favorite vegan food blogs Have Cake, Will Travel. 

I don’t care for syrup on my waffles but Wilson does so I warmed up a little maple syrup with some sliced apples in it and gave him the syrup and I used the maple cooked apples as my topping.  This gave me more then enough sweetness with out ending up with a soggy syrup soaked waffle. 

Almond Waffle

1 cup flour (½ whole-wheat, ½ all-purpose)
1/2 cup almond meal
1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 ¼ cup soy milk
1 T walnut oil
2 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp pure almond extract

I used my George Foreman Grill with the waffle pans attached, and the heat set to HIGH. 

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. 

Combine the wet ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well.  Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently fold together, just until combined.

When the grill is good and hot spray it with a little oil and add your batter.  I cooked these waffles for about 6 minutes but it will vary depending on your waffle maker.
