Course: Waffles

Servings: 5 Waffles

Ingredients

Dry ingredients:

2 and ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
⅓ cup cornmeal
3 tablespoons flaxseed meal
1 and ¼ tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

1 and ¾ cups almond milk
1 cup mango puree canned
½ cup water
¼ cup avocado oil
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

Optional:

1 cup walnuts chopped

Instructions

In a large bowl mix together the dry ingredients and set aside.
In a medium-size bowl mix together the wet ingredients and leave it for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the wet mix into the dry mix. Stir in the nuts, if using. Mix well. Some lumps are fine. Do not over mix.
Prepare waffles as per the instructions that come with your waffle.
Serve warm waffles with maple syrup or mango puree, as I did.

Notes

I think I will have to try this recipe with fresh mangoes instead of canned puree so that I can experience the actual mango flavor.
Increasing the quantity of cardamom and maybe adding some saffron strands might also help with achieving the East Indian flavor.

Taste & Texture

I was actually expecting a mango milkshake kind of flavor or a more East Indian type of flavor because of the use of mango puree and cardamom, but I was disappointed that the flavor of mango did not come through in the waffles.
Don't get me wrong, the waffles tasted very good like any other waffle but didn't have the mango flavor I was expecting.
I guess using fresh mango puree and some fresh mango chunks might have helped. That being said this is a very good waffle recipe especially if you are looking for ideas to finish off the leftover mango puree.
