Recently I create more and more kind of waffles. I use different, micronutrient filled ingredients to make the waffle itself. Today, I made 4 different kind. This is one of them. The goals are to create rainbow foods, so including as many natural colours as possible and to increase micronutrient density. I know this latter one sounds weird, but it's nothing else, then providing more and more vitamins and minerals to the body in their natural form.
So I was standing in front of the fridge and I was thinking about my options. I created an orange coloured, a dark pink, a dark green and a light green version. The light green is the green bean one. Because why not? :D
Does it have a green bean taste? Not really. It's a bit sweetish from the plantain. Anyway, you can replace the plantain with banana.
- 1.5 cup gluten free rolled oats
- water to soak the oats
- 2 cups raw green bean, chopped
- 1 smaller plantain or 1 medium banana
- 1/2 - 1 Tbsp olive oil
- (you can slightly change the ratio, like a bit more oats, and a bit less green bean, or same amount oats, but double portion green bean ;) )
Instructions:
- Put 1.5 cup gluten free rolled oats into a bowl.
- Pour water on the oats, the amount that just covers it.
- Let it sit for 3-4 hours or overnight.
- You can skip the soaking, but soaking makes it more easily digestible. Even if you don't soak it, you need the same amount of water.
- Put the soaked oats (or oats plus water), peeled plantain or banana, olive oil, green bean into a blender and blend it. (You can use a hand/immersion blender too.)
- Spoon the mixture into a preheated waffle maker.
- Baking time depends on your waffle maker. I have to bake it for 15 minutes, but luckily I can make 4 pieces at a time. After 12 minutes you can try to carefully lift the lid a bit and peak in. In it doesn't get split, it might be good. If it splits, then bake it for another 2-3 minutes. I like to dry it a bit.
- Let it cool on a rack. If you put it on a plate, then the steam will soak it. It's tastier when cooler anyway.
Here you can find the cabbage waffle recipe. :D
*1 cup is 250 ml.
Dark one is with spinach, light one is with green bean.
