Fortunately there are a range of oats available; if you like them a bit less chewy, anything labeled as "instant oats" may come closer to the texture you're seeking. Let us know how that works!

This will be my new standard. I am not vegan, but egg free, and used regular milk since that's what I had. I used white buckwheat, which was perfect. One note - my rolled oats are too thick and weren't good for the texture (normally I love oats). Next time I will skip them or find thinner oats. Delicious! This will be my new standard.

I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe, and appreciate your sharing the tip on banana conservation. If you try the original cholesterol-free (and 100% chicken-friendly!) version with egg replacer, I'd love to hear how that turned out as well! -Dave Stacy,

If you're taking out the yeast, you'll need to replace it with something else to make the dough rise (baking powder, in addition to the baking soda); and b/c this uses gluten-free flours, you'll also need to add something addt'l to bind it or hold it together (xanthan gum is one of my favorites-a bag is a bit pricey, but it lasts a very long time and is key if you wish to do much gluten-free baking). Please see the <a href="http://waffleparty.com/2008/08/14/buckwheat-rice-molasses-gluten-free-vegan-waffle-recipe/" rel="nofollow"> Buckwheat Rice Molasses Gluten-Free Vegan Waffle Recipe</a>, and please let me know how it works for you!

If you don't mind, I'd be curious to know the wattage/model of your waffle iron. A few things that might help, depending upon the nature of the sticking: 1) If the sticking seemed to be due to the waffle not binding well enough--i.e., if the iron opened relatively easily but the waffle split into top and bottom halves--then you could try adding Ener-G egg replacer, following the directions on the box for one egg. (You can use more, but it can start to alter the flavor after a point.) A very small amount of xanthan gum (no more than 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. should be necessary) also helps with some recipes. If you used buckwheat, replacing a portion of the flour with wheat flour will also help to bind it due to the gluten. 2) If the waffle bound well and it still stuck to the iron--i.e., it was very hard to open--make sure there's plenty of oil sprayed directly on the iron prior to each waffle, even if you already have at least a few Tbsp. of oil in the recipe. It sounds like you may have already done this. 3) Sometimes a Tbsp. or slightly less of raw sugar or other sweetener help the waffle to carmelize/crisp on the exterior, but it also makes it a little less healthy, and of course alters the flavor slightly. If you try any of these and it helps, I'd love to know! Dave Rebecca,

I think my 11-month old daughter might be allergic to eggs, so I was looking for an eggless waffle recipe and came across your site. Made this last night, and the whole family had bean waffles for dinner. My picky baby ate her entire portion, saying "mmm mmm" the whole time. Despite using a ton of oil, the waffles tended to stick to the iron (my non-stick iron!) so I'll have to play with the recipe a bit - but it's sure a keeper. So nutritious... Cool!
