High-Protein Oat Waffles

The following recipes were developed by Bryanna Clark Grogan, from the book, Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes. These recipes have been adapted by the Vitamix kitchen staff. 1/2 cup dried* cannellini, white kidney, or great Northern beans (or 1 cup canned beans, rinsed and drained) 2 1/4 cups water 1 3/4 cups old-fashioned oats 2 T sugar or 1 T agave nectar (or other sweetener) 3/4 T whole flaxseed 1 T baking powder 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (or orange, almond or coconut extract) 1 tsp salt * Place dried beans in a large bowl and cover generously with water. Refrigerate overnight or for up to a week. Directions Place all ingredients in Vitamix container. Secure two-part lid. Select VARIABLE, speed #1. Turn on machine and quickly increase speed to #7. Run for 30 seconds or until smooth. Note: Pour 1/3 cup batter onto hot, prepared waffle iron and bake for a minimum of 8 minutes. If the iron is hard to open, let the waffle cook another minute or two. Repeat with remaining batter, stirring or blending briefly before pouring each waffle. If batter thickens, add enough water to return to original consistency. Waffles should be golden brown and crisp. Serve immediately, or cool, and freeze in airtight container. These reheat nicely in the toaster!
