This is a recipe creation that I did because of a special request from my son. I think he got the idea from TV or something. Anyway, it makes for a fun and kid friendly meal that is completely whole food plant based. It is made with whole grains, legumes, veggies, and it is oil-free. I usually serve mine over a baked potato for myself and the waffles for my kids! Using pre-cooked lentils will help this recipe come together in a flash, perfect for busy nights.

Sloppy Waffles

Sloppy Joe filling:

2 cans lentils, drained – or about 2 1/2 cups cooked lentils

1 small onion, chopped

1/2 c. diced bell pepper, I use red since it’s sweeter

1/2 c. ketchup

1 Tbsp. worcestershire sauce (vegan)

1 tsp. mustard

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Saute onion and pepper in the bottom of a pot using small amounts of water to keep it from sticking to the bottom. When veggies are tender add all other ingredients, stir, and warm throughout.

Waffles:

1c. whole wheat pastry flour

1c. non-dairy milk

2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

Stir all ingredients together and cook in a waffle maker. This recipe makes 2 large waffles in my waffle maker.
