Spiced Chickpea Waffles
A Love and Lemons recipe for crispy savoury waffles made with chickpea flour, garlic and warm spices. A plant-based dish perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dinner.
Ingredients
- 2½ cups chickpea flour spooned and leveled
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper optional
- 1½ cups water
- ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro plus more for garnish
- 4 scallions chopped
- 2 cloves garlic grated
- freshly ground black pepper
Topping Suggestions
- vegan tahini sauce
- pickled onions
- diced cucumber
- diced tomato
- fresh mint or cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Preheat a waffle iron and prepare your desired toppings.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, baking powder, coriander, cumin, salt, cayenne (if using) and several grinds of pepper. Add the water, olive oil, cilantro, scallions and garlic and stir until combined.
- Scoop ½ cup of batter for each waffle into a large Belgian waffle maker, or scoop an appropriate amount for your waffle maker.
- Cook for 4 to 9 minutes, or until golden brown and lightly crisp. The timing will depend on your waffle iron. I like to cook these savoury waffles longer than sweet waffles to get them crisper.
- Serve with desired toppings.
