I love waffles :3 easily my favorite breakfast food. Developing different recipes has been so much fun! Lately I’ve been having one with lots of ground flaxseed and it has been keeping me quite regular. I’ll have one or two of those in the morning with some tofu breakfast/lunch “meat” and a bit of cheapo syrup. There also was a version with pea protein powder that worked out pretty well but I neglected to write down the recipe, oops.

Vegan waffle recipe

Makes 4-5 “standard” belgian waffles, actual amount will vary based on what kind of waffle iron you use.

Equipment

2 bowls, preferably with pouring spouts

Whisk

Measuring cups and spoons

Waffle Iron

Optional: Using a rubber spatula/scraper will help when pouring the batter into the waffle iron.

Dry mix:

1 cup white flour

2-3 tablespoons ground flaxseed

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

Optional: 1-2 teaspoon powdered cinnamon or blend of “sweet” spices.

Wet ingredients:

1 cup plant milk (see notes)

1 tablespoon neutral tasting cooking oil

Optional: 1/2 tablespoon breakfast syrup or granulated sugar will add some flavor and improve the texture of the crust.

Instructions:

  1. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl until combined, set aside

  2. In a seperate bowl, preferably one with a pouring spout, whisk the wet ingredients together vigorously, if using granulated sugar whisk until it is dissolved.

  3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredient bowl and mix until combined but still slightly lumpy. Allow the batter to sit for at least five minutes so the flaxseed can hydrate.

  4. Make the waffles, portions and waffle iron operation will vary. Consult the manual or wing it carefully.

Notes:

  • This recipe may take longer to cook fully compared to other mixes. Ultimately the steam produced by the cooking process is always an accurate indicator of doneness.

  • The dry mix can be made well ahead of time, a double batch fits nicely into a 32 oz deli container.

  • Adjusting the amount of plant milk will make the waffles more or less dense, experiment and adjust to preferences. 2/3 cup dry mix to 1/2 cup wet mix (or 1 cup to 3/4 cup) is my preferred ratio.

  • The batter keeps well overnight if refrigerated in an airtight container but you will need to add a little more liquid and stir thoroughly because it will be very thick.

  • The batter dries like cement, wash the bowl immediately after using.

    I mean realistically you dont want to doxx yourself but also dont want to make irl connections at places where LGBT people meet for hookups so basically you just wanna cruise - so I dunno, a bath house type place, a gay bar, I dont know what you think “looking queer enough” is and you should probably interrogate what you think you mean by that.

    I think right now you should focus on, like, self esteem? I get feeling horny and everything but the negative self talk and apprehension about doing things online or offline seem like theyre whats getting more in your way than just feeling horny.

    Anyway, I used Taimi and there was a sapphic one (it had trans men and enbies in it as well). Ive never had much action off apps, Ive had more just meeting people or at munches or friends of friends. Thats longer term than what you were thinking anyway… Apparently people on hexbear have success from sliding into DMs, I couldnt imagine something worse but its worked for them.

    I have no idea what the online cruising anonymous site is besides, honestly, craigslist is still out there

      real af advice, thank you, genuinely. I usually know better than to hornypost on the bear site but I thought just maybe someone would have a magic perfect answer to my extremely specific question. craigslist has long since cracked down on personals but yeah, technically still there. That version of the internet is gone, and sure it had its moments but it really wasn’t that good anyhow.

      I definitely need to work on… frankly a lot of things, self esteem looming large among them. Not really sure how though besides what I’ve been doing which is just ploddingly, slowly putting myself in more uncomfortable situations, dressing more gender affirming in public, talking more openly with trusted friends, etc. But life doesn’t slow down to give me time to work on myself, and I wouldn’t know how to if it did. It’ll be a little easier when I’m done living with people I’m not out to (blessedly short term, should be less than 2 months). Or I’ll just come out to them, idk.

      the… offputting, gay bar comment was mostly inspired by driving by the gay bar i used to live by and seeing a throng of cool looking queer/trans ppl outside it. Pre-covid it was a different crowd, like 90% gay men and while I liked it there, I was rarely meeting anyone there tbh, just drinking or going with a friend to play pool. And so between bad self esteem and well frankly… I’m just not good at some kinds of social interaction, (never learned 'em, I never needed/had the chance to, plus I’m probably on the autism spectrum.) I would not be comfortable meeting any of the cool queer people at the bar even if I did go. I’ll spare you the description of how I’d feel, but yeah suffice to say I have a lot of hangups to work on, which is one big reason why I was more thinking about cruising than anything more serious and less clearly defined. At least with anonymous online hookups there’s a pretty clear script to follow and the social norms are comparatively simple, yknow?

      Sorry to have my brainworms leaking out in the mega yall. Appreciate this place always.

      edit: also this all hasn’t been as much of a problem for the past… years? because I’ve had like no libido and been focused on organizing
