Fiesta Waffle 1 1  2 ⁄ 3 2 1 1 ⁄ 4 1 ⁄ 2 1 ⁄ 4 1 ⁄ 4 1  1 ⁄ 3 cup canned low-sodium black beans, drained and rinsed cups water teaspoons canola oil teaspoon onion powder teaspoon garlic powder teaspoon salt teaspoon cayenne pepper teaspoon cumin cups old-fashioned rolled oats Blend ingredients except oats on high for a minimum of 90 seconds. Add oats and blend again for another minute. Pour batter into bowl and then heat up a regular (not Belgian) 6˝ diameter waffle iron. By the time the waffle iron is fully heated, the batter will have thickened to the right consistency so no additional water will need to be added. Put 3 ⁄ 4 cup batter in the waffle iron and bake. These whole-grain bean waffles are heavier and will require a longer cooking time, which varies with the brand of waffle iron and may take anywhere from 3 to 8 minutes. You will need to experiment with your model of waffle iron. Warning: Don’t peek until the time is up, or waffle will come apart.

Eat after grinding by adding to hot or cold cereal, breads, soups, or salads. Once ground, don’t leave flaxseed at room temperature or it will spoil—always refrigerate or freeze in a sealed container, where it will keep for up to 6 months. We recommend you grind only as much as you need at one time for optimal benefit. Store your whole flaxseed in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
