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.

    Today I got all cute and went to the mall with my girlfriend and I bought some cute shit at hot topic and then

    sex, kink

    She gave me a foot job and made me smell her socks she’d been wearing all day and told me how pathetic I am

    Had a wonderful day ☺️ I love her so much

  • Remember me saying I wanted to tell my mom today but wasn’t sure? So I kind of just did tell her after watching I Saw The TV Glow together, she didn’t understand it like I thought could happen, so I had to explain.

    I cried like 4 or 5 times during the movie, then cried during the credits and ugly cried when she hugged me asking what was wrong. doggirl-cry

    I haven’t ugly cried in multiple years, it was liberating.

    Honestly I still can’t believe I did it, but I did!!

    She doesn’t fully get what comes now, but she said she loved me. I did ask her to stop using my deadname, but when asked what she should call me I couldn’t bring myself to tell her the name I liked the most so far, I don’t know why, I guess I thought it was silly or cringe. Luckily I showed her the messages I sent to my friend and the name was there and she liked it.

    We also talked about a lot of different stuff ranging from prejudice to child birth lol.

    She also wanted to tell my dad, but I told her multiple times I don’t want him to know, and she accepted it, said she won’t say anything to him.

    I’m feeling a lot of emotions right now, relief and weight off my shoulders, but at the same time embarassement, and feeling like I’m still just pretending, and that I’m an intruder. I guess the fear of change does that to you, but I’m sick of my current self, I don’t want to keep being a man.

    spoiler for the movie

    I don’t want to share Owen’s fate, I want to have Maddy’s courage.

    talking about possibly one of the stupidest dysphorias i've ever had

    i’m getting handwriting dysphoria for fuck’s sake

  • So about coming out to my mom today, I’m still debating if I should do it. I told my only irl friend that knows about it, and he has a good point, it would be best to wait until I have confirmation I’m approved for the disability pay, so I don’t know what to do. I just hate hearing my deadname multiple times a day and being perceived and talked to as a man.

    I feel like I’m entering another depressive cycle and when that happens I tend to overeat, which helps feed the cycle because I’m already obese and trying my best to cut down on my caloric intake (which I have succeed actually, this past month I have managed to cut the amount of food I’m eating by half, which is great, just not enough).

    ive seen a lot of trans people talk about working through your problems/trauma/etc with kink and while i think it can help you really should primarily work through them other ways

    your dominant is not your therapist and cannot fix your life for you, and trying to put that kind of pressure on them is bad for everyone involved and can and will create an unhealthy dependence

    do not enter into relationships that you will completely fall apart without, and dont try to turn existing relationships into that

    I've been reading Emily Dickinson because I'm a lesbian and I somehow got a copy of her poems without doing anything. This one has been kind of rattling around in my head (CW general societal transphobia)

    I took my Power in my Hand—

    And went against the World—

    'Twas not so much as David—had—

    But I—was twice as bold—

    I aimed my Pebble—but Myself

    Was all the one that fell—

    Was it Goliath—was too large—

    Or was myself—too small?

    I feel like I’m going against the world everyday, and god I’m so bold, I’ve never been as authentic/confident/beautiful/brave/cool as I am now, and I’m still just getting my butt kicked from one event to another.
