Egg-Free Belgian Waffles

These egg-free waffles are dangerous! Healthy, but dangerous. Crispy golden on the outside, they are soft and moist and almost like pudding on the inside. It's all thanks to the yogurt. My favorite topping combo for these babies is a healthy dollop of homemade whipped cream, a drizzle of agave nectar and a sprinkle of chopped pecans. Decadent, but not too guilty... Here's the recipe:

Egg-Free Belgian Waffles

Ingredients:

2 T. flax meal

6 T. hot water

2 C. all purpose flour

1 t. salt

1 t. baking soda

4 T. butter, melted

1 3/4 C. plain yogurt (not greek)

1/4 C. milk

non-stick cooking spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 200F and plug in waffle iron. In a medium bowl, stir flax into hot water and let sit. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking soda. Return to first bowl and whisk melted butter into flax & water mixture, then yogurt, then milk. Stir wet ingredients into dry. Batter should be thick and lumpy. Spray hot waffle iron lightly with non-stick cooking spray and make waffles per the manufacturers instructions. (I have a standard size belgian waffle maker and 1/2 cup of batter is perfect.) Serve with butter, fresh fruit, whipped cream and/ or agave syrup.

Yield: 6 waffles
