1 ¾ cups unsweetened soy milk
Avocado oil , for greasing the waffle iron

Prepare the Waffles:

Step 1
Add chia seeds and water to a small bowl. Mix and let sit for 5 minutes.
Step 2
To a large bowl, add corn meal, flour, basil, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix to combine.
Step 3
Add almond milk, apple cider vinegar and chia egg. Mix to combine.
Step 4
Let the batter sit while you preheat your waffle iron.
Step 5
Once your waffle iron is preheated, brush some oil onto it. Pour about 1 cup of batter to the waffle iron and close. Cook until golden brown and crispy (about 5 to 7 minutes).
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 200ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 7
Once the waffle is ready, transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm.
Step 8
Repeat with the rest of the batter.

Prepare the Mushrooms and Spinach:

Step 1
Add the miso and water to a small bowl and whisk until the miso is completely dissolved.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of avocado oil and mushrooms.
Step 3
Cook until the mushrooms are caramelized. Add spinach and cook until the spinach has wilted but is still bright green.
Step 4
Pour miso mixture onto the mushrooms and spinach and mix to combine.
Step 5
Top waffles with Green Onion Tofu Spread, sautéed mushrooms and spinach, sliced avocado, sliced green onions and fresh parsley.
Step 6
Enjoy immediately.
