Ingredients

1 cup red lentils
2-1/2 cups water
1-3/4 cups oat flour <-- This brand is good.
1/2 cup psyllium husk whole <-- This brand is good.
1/4 cup sweet rice flour <-- This brand is good.
3 Tablespoons gelatin <-- Use DISCOUNT code BEAUTIFUL10 at checkout for 10% off your entire order, or for Vegan: sub with flax seed meal.
1-½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon good salt <-- This one's the best, and so affordable with a great flavor: Contaminant free of ALL heavy metals from third party testing.
6 Tablespoons olive oil or other natural oil of choice

Instructions

Four hours or the night before you plan to cook your waffles: Place 2-1/2 cups water and 1 cup dry lentils into blender. Soak the four hours or overnight. After soaking, when you're ready to make the waffles, blend on medium speed about 30 seconds until puréed.
Pour puréed red lentils into large mixing bowl, using a spatula to scrape it all. Add remaining dry ingredients on top, and oil to one side. Mix well with mixer. (It will be VERY thick batter, like sticky dough.)
Plug in waffle iron. When heated, scoop on batter. Cook about 5 minutes, to desired crispiness. Serve! (I like these plain with just a little sea salt on top because I'm "extra healthy" and doing a detox diet. But the waffles are wonderful eaten the traditional way, with pure maple syrup, fruit etc on top.)
