Hominy Waffles

We bought a giant can of hominy to make the Posole salad recipe and have lots left over - so I am looking for ways to use it.

Waffles sounded good today..so. here is a recipe I made up by combining 3 different recipes I found online. It is not necessarily "clean" food but it is fairly healthy, high carbohydrate choice. On Sundays, even when I am in a "cutting" phase, I like to relax a little and have something special.

Preheat waffle iron (we use two so its all ready faster :) )

In a large bowl mix together :

2 cups hominy ( I mashed it up just a little)
3 eggs
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2c milk

In a seperate bowl mix together:

1 c cornmeal
1c flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4c sugar or splenda

dump dry ingredient mixture into wet ingredients and stir just until combined, don't over mix!

Pour into waffle irons and cook until they come out easily :)

We topped ours with a 90:10 mixture of sugar free maple syrup and dark molasses and a side of lean, grilled ham :) YUMMY

You can place the extra waffles on a baking sheet and place in the freezer, then when theyare frozen place them in ziploc bags and whenever you need a quick carbohydrate choice for breakfast, pop one in the toaster :)
