Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 0.5 cup almond milk
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the eggs to the bowl and whisk until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Stir in the almond flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until you have a thick batter.
Add the vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and almond milk to the batter, stirring until smooth.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with a bit of coconut oil if it's not non-stick.
Pour a portion of the batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook according to the waffle iron’s instructions until golden brown. This usually takes about 4-5 minutes per waffle.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter until all the waffles are made.
Serve warm topped with your favorite Paleo-friendly toppings such as nuts, fresh berries, or a drizzle of almond butter.
