Any good ideas on how to make vegan waffles or pancakes? what ingredients?!
Once they're dried and finely ground, mix into your favorite pancake batter and add about a half a minute to the cooking time for your pancakes.
mmmmmm.....tasty!
Answers: Well, the first thing you need to remember is that you need to first dry your vegan completely before grinding him or her into powder to use in the pancakes - oh sure, some people will tell you to dice them, or to slice thinly, but it's too easy to get all "clumpy" that way.

Healthy Vegan Waffles -
* 1 ripe banana, mashed
* 2 cups water
* 1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal
* 1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon nutmeg
* vanilla to taste (optional)
Mix banana and water. Add dry ingredients and mix, leaving lumps in batter (the lumps keep the waffles from becoming too rubbery when cooked). Cook on waffle iron. You can use the same batter to make pancakes*. I've also substituted soy milk for the water, which gives the vegan waffle a richer flavor; when I do this, I usually leave out the spices.
Here is another vegan waffle recipe from the same site:
Vegan Waffles
* 1 cup flour
* 1 cup soy milk or water
* 1 tablespoon oil
* 1 tablespoon baking powder
* 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Whisk ingredients together, pour into oiled waffle iron, cook on medium heat until steam starts coming out sides of iron, that means they ready or close to being ready. This recipe can also be used for pancakes*.
* Note: Pancakes usually have less oil in them than waffles, so if these stick to your waffle iron, you might consider adding a bit of walnut or almond oil to your vegan waffle batter! And don't forget nuts--they absolutely 'make' a waffle superb!
And lastly,vegan waffles from M. L. Grant, who has made them a family tradition.
Vegan Waffles or Pancakes
These vegan waffles are a tasty way to start the day or end a meal. They can be served with maple syrup, honey, or preserves and can be frozen and reheated in the oven, microwave, or toaster.
The batter also works well for pancakes, and is especially tasty when you add small berries (blueberries, marionberries, raspberries, blackberries, loganberries, etc.) to the mix.
Ingredients:
* 1 ripe banana, mashed
* 2 cups water
* 1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal
* 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon nutmeg
* vanilla extract to taste (optional)
Method:
Mix together the mashed banana and water. Add dry ingredients and mix, leaving lumps in the batter. Vegan waffles: Cook on a waffle iron, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Pancakes: Pour 1/2 cup of batter into a hot, lightly oiled frying pan. When bubbles rise through the middle of the pancake and break on the top, flip the pancake and cook until browned underneath. (Note: Test the pan before cooking the pancakes by throwing a few drops of water onto it. If the water jumps around and then disappears, the pan is at the correct temperature.)
Serve for breakfast or dessert; add margarine and top with sweet syrups, fruits, or preserves. This vegan waffle recipe takes less than five minutes to prepare, not including cooking time.
You must leave lumps in the batter. Vegan waffle or pancake batter which is too smooth will spread out very thin on the waffle iron or pan, and the result will be a rubbery, tough cake. The batter doesn't freeze well but can be refrigerated for a short time. Waffles can be made in large quantities and frozen for future use; this is a good option if your waffle iron is small! As shown, recipe makes roughly four waffles; the number of pancakes will vary according to size. Recipe can be doubled.

You've got a great few recipes so far.
I'd also suggest this recipe, it's very easy and I love it:
"Banana Pancakes
1 cup flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 banana, mashed
1 1/4 cups soy milk
1 tbsp. sweetner
sliced fruit
In a large bowl, sift the flour and baking powder together. In a small bowl, mash the banana with a fork, add 1/4 cup of the milk, mixing together until there are no lumps. Add the banana, sweetner and remaining milk to the dry mix and stir together until just mixed. Then the steps are the same as the first recipe. "
What's great is that instead of the banana, you can substitute lots of fruits and gourds too - like I sometimes add in 1/2 a cup of sweetened pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice to pancakes I make in November. Or I add in 1/2 a cup of mashed blueberries when blueberries are in season. Or pureed apples and cinnamon in it's place.
Note: You might want to add some thickening agent like agar agar if you use a runnier fruit, bananas are more binding and they bring the recipe together.
It's a very flexible recipe :) Hope you enjoy.
