Step 1

Soak the chickpeas in water overnight.

Step 2

Add chickpeas to a food processor or blender and blend for a few seconds.

Step 3

Incorporate the rest of the ingredients (except the flour) and mix to combine. Don’t overblend, you want a chunky texture.

Step 4

Add the flour and pulse just until it’s mixed with the rest of the ingredients.

Step 5

Place the mixture in a bowl, cover, and let stand in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

Step 6

Preheat the waffle maker. Once the waffle maker is ready, you can generously coat with non-stick spray or some oil (extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil are my favorite ones). We don’t do this, but it’s up to you.

Step 7

Make balls with your hands and place them in the waffle maker. I placed two every time.

Step 8

Cook according to manufacturer’s instructions. My falafel waffles were ready in 7 minutes.

Step 9

Serve with some yogurt sauce or tahini dressing on top.
