Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 4 waffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup banana flour
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and equipment: waffle iron, mixing bowl, whisk, measuring cups and spoons.
- Preheat the waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly grease the cooking surfaces with coconut oil or avocado oil spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the two eggs and whisk them until they become light and slightly frothy.
- Add almond milk and vanilla extract to the whisked eggs, mixing thoroughly to combine all wet ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, sift together banana flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution and remove any lumps.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, whisking continuously to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Allow the batter to rest for 2-3 minutes to let the banana flour absorb the liquid and reach the right consistency.
- Pour approximately 1/2 cup of batter into the center of the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly.
- Close the waffle iron and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the waffle using a silicone or wooden spatula to prevent scratching the waffle iron.
- Repeat the process with remaining batter, re-greasing the waffle iron between batches if needed.
- Serve immediately with optional toppings like fresh berries, maple syrup, or almond butter.
Tips
- Batter Consistency is Key: Let your batter rest for 2-3 minutes after mixing. This allows the banana flour to fully absorb the liquid, creating a smoother, more consistent texture.
- Waffle Iron Prep: Always preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with coconut or avocado oil to prevent sticking and achieve that perfect crispy exterior.
- Don't Overmix: Whisk your batter just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense waffles.
- Portion Control: Use a 1/2 cup measure to ensure consistent waffle size and even cooking.
- Serving Suggestions: These waffles are incredibly versatile! Top with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of almond butter for extra flavor.
- Make-Ahead Tip: These waffles freeze beautifully. Cool completely, then store in a freezer bag for up to a month. Reheat in a toaster for a quick breakfast.
- Dairy-Free and Paleo-Friendly: The recipe uses almond milk and is naturally dairy-free, making it perfect for multiple dietary needs.
