ZUCCHINI WAFFLES (GREEN WAFFLES)

A gluten-free waffle using zucchini and dry potato flakes--think green eggs and ham. Serve with sour cream, tart jam, onion chip dip, or applesauce. They can be breakfast, brunch, lunch, or a side dish. Easier than standing at the stove and frying zucchini pancakes. I like them with my homemade rhubarb jam.

Tips:

  • Use fresh zucchini: Fresh zucchini has a higher water content, which makes for a more tender waffle. If you don't have fresh zucchini, you can use frozen zucchini, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Grate the zucchini finely: This will help the zucchini to evenly distribute throughout the waffle batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the waffles tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the waffles on a hot waffle iron: This will help the waffles to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Serve the waffles immediately: Waffles are best served hot and fresh. You can top them with butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Zucchini waffles are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They're easy to make and can be topped with your favorite toppings. So next time you're looking for a new breakfast recipe, give zucchini waffles a try!
