  • 1/4 cup peeled and lightly chopped red onion
  • 1 egg or chia egg
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 Tbsp flour I used GF brown rice
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Tahini Sauce
  • 1 8 oz container plain yogurt or coconut yogurt for vegan

Instructions

  1. In a food processor add all of the ingredients for the waffles and process until a everything comes together and is nice and creamy.
  2. Scrape the batter out with a rubber spatula into a bowl.
  3. In a preheated and greased (I brush mine with coconut oil) waffle iron (I had mine on medium heat) add the batter. For mine each section takes 1/2 cup of batter.
  4. ***To cook in a frying pan add coconut oil to the bottom of the pan and heat, drop 1/2 cup fulls of the batter into the hot pan and cook until browned (about 5 minutes), flip over with a spatula and cook on the other side until browned (another 5 minutes).
  5. Close the lid and cook per manufacturers instructions.
  6. While the first batch is cooking start the tzatziki.
  7. In the same food processor add all of the ingredients for the tzatziki and process until everything is chopped and has come together.
  8. Set the tzatziki aside.
  9. Remove the waffles once cooked, regrease the iron and continue with the waffles until they are all made. I made about 8.
  10. Serve with tzatziki and toppings.
  11. Store leftovers in a airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for one month.
  12. I like to reheat the leftovers in my toaster.
