Vegan Potato Chive Waffles

This vegan version of my potato chive waffle is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes (of course, your mashed potatoes would have had to be made vegan).  It is more dense than my original version but super satisfying!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons ground chia or flax seeds
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/3 cup nutritional yeast (I used Bob's Red Mill)
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups warm mashed potatoes (I used russet variety)
  • 6 tablespoons melted vegan butter (I used Earth Balance)
  • 1 clove crushed garlic
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened soy or almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives plus extra for garnish

Instructions

  1.  Place the ground chia or flax seeds in a small bowl and stir in the water. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper and mix with a whisk. In a separate medium sized bowl, combine the remaining ingredients along with the chia seed mixture, stir well, and add it to the flour mixture. Stir the batter with a large spoon or rubber spatula just until the wet ingredients are incorporated with the dry.  The batter will be fairly stiff.

  3. Preheat the Breville Smart Waffle Maker to the 'buttermilk' setting, or simply preheat your waffle maker as per the instructions should you not have a Breville brand.  Once it is heated (it will chime to indicate this), drop your batter in the centre of each waffle form.  For full-sized waffles use about 3/4 cup of batter for each waffle.  For mini rustic looking waffles use about 1/3 cup of batter per waffle and drop the batter in a small circle in the centre of each waffle form.

  4. Cook the waffles until the waffle iron indicates that they are done, and press the 'a bit more' button three additional times (these take longer to cook versus a traditional waffle).  Serve the waffles immediately either as-is, with a dollop of vegan Greek yogurt or vegan sour cream.  You can freeze these for up to one month and heat them in the toaster as well.
