Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 medium Ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted, or other neutral oil)
- as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth. Add the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Stir until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray if necessary.
Spoon the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/3 cup of batter per waffle (depending on the size of your waffle iron). Spread the batter out slightly, if needed.
Close the waffle iron and cook the waffles for 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Cooking times may vary based on your waffle iron.
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and place them on a cooling rack to maintain their crispness while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, additional maple syrup, or a dollop of vegan yogurt.
