Directions
Chili
Step 1

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, 1 minute more.

Step 2

Stir in tomato paste and cook until darkened and fragrant, then add diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, oregano, remaining salt, and ½ cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until a thick sauce, 10 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in beans and heat through, then remove from heat and cover while the waffle batter is being prepared.

Corn Waffles
Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl. In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the applesauce, yogurt, oat milk and egg and mix until well combined.

Step 3

In small batches, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until just combined. Add the cheese, corn kernels, green onion and cilantro and mix until well combined.

Step 4

Generously spray a waffle maker with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon the batter into the bottom half of the waffle maker, close the lid and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the cooked waffled to the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 5

Add ½ cup of chili on top of a waffle and garnish, if desired, with shredded cheese, sliced green onions and nonfat Greek yogurt.
