"A traditional breakfast that you are sure to love."

Ingredients:
10 ounces tofu, firm
1-2 cups tofu or soy or low-fat milk
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons honey or sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour,sifted
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups Apricot Sauce (recipe posted on this site)
1 banana, sliced
1/2 cup pecans

Directions:
1. Preheat waffle iron.

2. Place tofu or 1 cup milk, oil, honey and sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in blender and blend until smooth.

3. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

4. Fold liquid ingredients into the sifted dry ingredients and mix. Add chopped nuts to batter, if desired, or use to garnish. (If using firm tofu [which has less moisture], the waffle batter could be too thick. Thin with additional milk until slightly thicker than pancake batter.)

5. Place amount of batter in waffle iron according to waffle iron directions. (Use any waffle iron for this recipe; however, a Belgian waffle iron, which takes about 4 minutes per waffle, makes a crisper waffle.) Cook until golden brown.

6. Top waffle or pancakes with the apricot sauce and place sliced bananas and nuts on top of sauce. Serve immediately.
