Savory Cornmeal Waffle, Broccoli-Rhubarb Hash & Chili Maple Syrup

Even though this waffle has more of a savory bite to it, I don't see why this wouldn't be just as good for breakfast or brunch. In fact I love roasted broccoli and breakfast potatoes in the morning so adding this cornmeal waffle would make my morning even better.

Hearty cornmeal and flax waffles served alongside crispy broccoli and rhubarb-white bean hash all drizzled with spicy maple syrup.

Savory Cornmeal Waffle

1 1/2 cup plain almond milk

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup ground flax meal
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp turmeric (for color)
1/4 tsp salt

Preheat a waffle iron.
Add the almond milk, oil and vinegar in a blender. Blend to combine. Add the flour, cornmeal, flax, baking powder, baking soda, turmeric and salt. Blend for 2-3 minutes.
Grease the waffle iron and use the batter to make 4 waffles.
