Chestnut waffle

After the holidays you can use up roasted or vacuum packed chestnuts in many recipes. During and after advent I like making this chestnut waffle for my weekend breakfast or brunch. I normally serve it with maple syrup or vanilla custard. It’s so yummy!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla or orange extract
  • 1 cup milk or other plant-based milk
  • ½ cup chopped roasted or cooked chestnuts
  • 1 tsp mixed spice

Method
 

  1. Put all ingredients except the chestnuts in a blender and process until you get a smooth, thick batter. Add more milk, if needed – you should get a thick, but pourable batter. Add the chestnuts and pulse for a few more seconds – the butter should remain a bit textured or lumpy.
  2. Heat your waffle maker. Once it’s hot, add a ladleful of batter, let it spread out, then put the lid on. Cook the waffle following the machine’s instructions – it should take about 3-5 minutes.
  3. When it’s ready transfer it to a plate and keep warm.
  4. Make more waffles using up the batter (depending on your waffle maker the batter is enough for about 4 waffles).
  5. Serve the waffles with maple syrup, custard or honey.
