Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 cup dairy-free protein powder
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth.
Add the almond milk, vanilla extract, egg, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup to the mashed bananas and whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, oat flour, dairy-free protein powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure fluffy waffles.
Lightly grease your waffle iron with additional coconut oil or non-stick spray.
Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 cup of the batter per waffle. Spread it out evenly.
Close the lid and cook the waffle until golden brown and crispy, usually about 4-6 minutes (depends on waffle iron).
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, nuts, or additional maple syrup.
