Why yes, that is rice whip on my waffle. I do not mess around.

I really don’t understand this longstanding bacon obsession in America. And when
it got to the point where it was showing up on magazine covers, in chocolate bars,
in squeezable formats, and with full-on “trend” status (If one more person tries to
get me to eat bacon by saying, “but bacon doesn’t count,” I will have a conniption), I
was confused and, yes, hurt. But just because we don’t want gristly bits of dead pig
on top of our cupcakes doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the flavorful combination of
sweet and smoky, the textural dissonance between chewy and fluffy. Peep this
recipe, gag, and then make this bitchin’ and infinitely more animal-friendly version:

Fakin’ Bacon and Buttermilk Waffles
makes four Belgian waffles
The “Bacon”
One package or recipe of tempeh “bacon” (I used Tofurky’s)
1/4 cup brown sugar
The Waffles
3 Tbsp. ground flaxseed
6 Tbsp. hot water
2 cups soy milk (or whatever other vegan milk you use)
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 F. Spray a cookie sheet with some nonstick. Arrange the
pretend bacon in a single layer on the cookie sheet. Sprinkle the brown sugar on top
of the strips as evenly as you can. I won’t judge you for licking your fingers. Bake in
the oven for about 15 minutes, until the sugar has become pretty liquidy. Let it cool,
and then chop the sticky strips into little pieces—or break it apart with your hands if
you’re nasty (related: I’m nasty).

In a bowl, whisk together the flaxseed and hot water till it’s as frothy as your little
hands can make it. In another bowl, stir together the milk and vinegar. Watch as it
gets all curdled and weird-looking. Okay, focus! Now in a big bowl, sift together
your dry ingredients (flour down to salt in the list above). Marvel once more at the
crazy milk transformation, and whisk in the flaxseed mixture, oil, and vanilla. Pour
it all into the dry ingredients, and mix till it’s mostly combined. Then stir in the
pretend bacon bits.
Hey San Francisco, how are
Follow your waffle iron’s directions to make as many waffles as possible. Cover it in
Earth Balance, maple syrup, jam—whatever you put on waffles. Serve with orange
juice, and pretend you’re being healthy. Eat, and slap yo’ mama.

Can you just write a cookbook so I can read recipes like this all the time? It looks delicious and
you have a way of writing it that makes me smile.

With all the allegations of Bacon as the Vegetarian gateway drug, this is the perfect antidote
for some of the weaker Veg*ns out there!

Real bacon has never appealed to me. It smells like rotten fish. Even in my "omni" youth (ages
0-8), I was never about it. Tempeh bacon and smart strips, however, are deliciously smokey,
and in the case of the smart strips, delightfully crispy.
Also, Sarah, how nasty are you? This nasty?
