Method
 

Preparation
  1. Create vegan buttermilk by mixing the soy milk and apple cider vinegar together and letting it sit for at least three minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt, and chopped rosemary, then set aside.
  3. In the bowl with the buttermilk, mix in the vegan egg substitute, melted vegan butter, and roasted garlic.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped jalapeños to incorporate evenly.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your waffle iron and grease it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. Using a wooden spoon, pour some batter into the middle of the greased waffle maker.
  3. Close the waffle maker and let it cook until the steam has fully stopped rising.
  4. Remove each waffle and place them on a baking sheet in the oven set to 'warm' at 200°F until serving.
Serving
  1. Top your waffles with sautéed tomatoes, sliced avocado, chopped scallions, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

For extra crispiness, adjust your waffle iron setting closer to maximum. You can freeze the waffles for quick breakfasts later by reheating in the toaster.
