Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rice flour
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup gluten-free protein powder (vanilla flavored)
- 2 medium, mashed ripe bananas
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1.25 cups almond milk (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons, melted coconut oil
- cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, add the mashed bananas, eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until a smooth batter forms, being careful not to overmix.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle plates with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour enough batter into the preheated waffle iron to cover three-quarters of the waffle surface. Close the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through.
Carefully remove the cooked waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the gluten-free banana protein waffles warm, topped with your choice of fresh fruit, nut butter, or maple syrup.
