How to make it
- To make the syrup, in a saucepan, combine the blueberries, water(if using), lemon juice and zest, honey, 1 tbs of the molassess, and cloves
- Bring to a boil over medium high heat, then reduse the heat to low. cover and simmer until berries burst and the juices are slightly thickened, about 5 min.
- Frozen berries may take slightly longer to thicken.
- Set aside and keep warm.
- To make the waffles
- If using sweet potato, bring a small saucepan half full of water to a boil. Add the sweet potato, return to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes.
- Drain and puree in a food processor or mash with a potato masher until smooth(I do this part by hand ).
- Set aside.
- If using pumpkin puree,reserve
- In a small bowl, sift together the flours, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and ginger.
- In a large bowl, whisk together soy milk, sweet potato, puree, olive oil and the remaining 2 tbs molasses.
- Add flour mixture and stir just until combined.
- Using and electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form. Make sure that the mixing bowl and beaters are spotlessly clean and free of fat.
- Even a small amount of fat, such as egg yolk or oil, can prevent the egg whites form whipping properly.
- Once whipped, gently whisk 1/3 of the egg white into the batter to lighten it.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the remaining egg white into the batter, mixing just until incorporated.
- Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 225*
- Preheat a waffle iron.
- Spoon or ladle about 1/2 cup batter into the waffle iron, depending on the size of iron.
- Spread evenly and cook according to your waffles directions.
- If the batter thickens, thin with a little soy milk
- Transfer the waffle to the baking sheet in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve topped with syrup.
- We like whip cream on top!
- Per serving 1 waffle is 263 calories
