SO HOW'D IT GO?
I wanted these to be good, but unfortunately, they weren't. Followed recipe exactly and waffles were wrecked. I added 1/2 cup flour and that helped, but they look gummy, pale, and tasted bleh. I suspect there is something with adding the flour in progressively and batter becoming overmixed. Never got a crispy waffle out of the entire batter. If anyone is able to figure this out - please let me know.
So I have no idea what happened but these waffles turned out horriable. I didnt have self rising flour, but I used 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt for each cup to compensate, so that shouldnt have been a problem. I feel like maybe there was too much oil. I used the Ener-g egg replacer like the previous reviewer said and left the waffles on for a good ten minutes but they still werent cooked on the inside..and leaving them on longer didnt help, they just turned into a glob of mushy waffle, that wouldnt come off my iron even with oil brushed on. I also ended up adding more maple syrup, some vanilla and brown sugar because I felt that the batter really tasted bland. I really wish these had turned out better.
This recipe is fool-proof! These waffles can be whipped up in notime. I use the same amount of Ener-G egg replacer to substitute for the flax seed. I can even add blueberries or vegan chocolate chips in place of the pecans for a different flavor. The waffles are crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside--definitely a new favorite that I make whenever I get a craving for waffles ;D.
