Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup vegan protein powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar to create a vegan buttermilk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the vegan buttermilk, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Whisk until all ingredients are well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, vegan protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease with a bit of coconut oil if necessary.
Pour a ladleful of the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden and crispy on the outside, usually about 4-6 minutes per waffle.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite vegan toppings like fresh fruit, more maple syrup, or nut butter.
