Ingredients
Garbanzo bean flour a good source of protein, fiber and has a great texture in these waffles. For the delicious savory flavor, we add a cup of shredded zucchini, sun dried tomatoes, and oregano to the batter. Nutritional yeast adds even more protein, a healthy dose of B vitamins, and flavor as well.
For these waffles, we kept the topping simple by mixing some of the sun dried tomatoes and a pinch of oregano with a little vegan cream cheese. Then we halved a few grape tomatoes to go along with it. Your favorite hot sauce would work nicely as a topping too if you like spicy foods.

Instructions
This waffles are so easy to make. The most important step it to squeeze out as much water as possible from the zucchini. To do this shred the zucchini over a bowl, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt. This will help draw out the moisture as the zucchini sits. After a few minutes squeeze the zucchini with your hands to release the water and continue making the batter. Cook the batter in a waffle maker and top how you like.
