Apple Cider Waffles




Recipe brought to you by Kimberly Reese:

Sometimes it's hard to prepare meals due to my daughter’s incurable eosinophilic disease. She is unable to tolerate processed food so I have channeled my grandmothers and taken it back to the basics. “From Scratch” doesn’t have to mean spending all day in the kitchen. Try my delicious, healthy, and easy Apple Cider Waffles. They're perfect for Fall!

Ingredients:
1 cup of flour, wheat or alternative (for wheat/gluten free option use a mix to include xanthan gum)
1 TSP baking powder
½ TSP baking soda
½ TSP nutmeg
½ TSP allspice
A good shake of cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1 TSP sugar (honey, maple syrup, other alternative)
1 egg or egg replacement (see below for instructions)
1 cup cider

For those who are going to use an egg replacement or flaxseed gel, you will need 1 TBSP of ground flaxseeds. Mix flaxseeds with 3 TBSP warm water, whisk, and let sit until the mixture becomes thicker.


Directions:
1. In a bowl, add the dry ingredients and whisk together.
2. Add liquid ingredients and mix with a spoon.
3. Once the waffle iron is hot, pour the appropriate amount and cook.
4. Top however you choose (fresh fruit, butter, maple syrup).
5. Enjoy!

1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper

3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

4. Place the fillets on an aluminum foil bed, cover with the marinade, and fold and seal the foil to create a sealed pouch for the fillets. Place them back in the baking dish, and bake them in the oven for 35-45 minutes (until the fillets are easily flaked with a fork).
