I wish I could give this recipe 4 1/2 stars, which is what it really deserves. I followed the recipe exactly and was very happy with the nice consistency and workability of the batter. (The recipe just listed pecans, and I made the assumption that they should be chopped, which is what I did.) I have a waffle iron with a wonderful non-stick surface, which is definitely needed with this recipe because they were a little bit difficult to remove. And, I had to leave them cook a little bit longer than 4-5 minutes in order for the batter to even resemble a waffle. Maybe the batter would work better as pancakes! The flavor of these waffles was really delicious, but the texture reminded me more of oatmeal than waffles. I probably wouldn't even have this question if I made the batter into pancakes, which I think I will do the next time I make this. However, for people like my DH who are not eating wheat for a while, it was really fun to be eating waffles, no matter what the texture. Whoever created this recipe did a great job! And, thanks to you Missy Wombat for posting it for us. -
This is a nice basic recipe. I made pancakes instead of waffles and was happy with the results. I replaced the pecans with apples and added a pinch of cardamom. The resulting pancakes were delicious, but a little heavy. The texture was very nice, considering that no flour was added.

I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving.
I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start.
Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog!
Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years!
I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
