Falafel Waffle

I have a bigger Belgian waffle maker in my Amazon cart, but haven’t followed through with the purchase. For the time being, we’re working with this (LINK) little guy. It totally works as an inexpensive, temporary (or few years) option.

Aquafaba is the name of the liquid that sits with the canned chickpeas. When whipped, it acts as a vegan binder. I found the waffles to be really delicate, especially the gluten-free trial, so I suggest including the egg as well. A regular (vs. gluten-free) breadcrumb option will help them bind as well.

Much of the food around here stands well as leftovers, but these dried out. The waffles are best if eaten within a day or frozen to reheat later.
