Corn 'n Orange Waffles

I reviewed previously this recipe for Cornmeal Waffles from the March 2007 Vegetarian Times. Here I provide the recipe as I have modified it. First, I think the word orange needs to be included in the name of the dish, as there is a very distinct orange flavor, which is actually my favorite thing about it. They are very good as shown with fresh peaches and a sauce made from almond butter and maple syrup. But, they are also good with bananas or other fruit on top.
