Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 medium spotty bananas
- 2 eggs
- 1 ¾ cups old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free certified if necessary)
Liquid Ingredients:
- ⅔ cup unsweetened almond milk (or 2% milk, whole milk, cashew or oat milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry and Spice Ingredients:
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a powerful blender, processing for 45 seconds until achieving a completely smooth, homogeneous mixture. Allow the batter to rest and slightly thicken for 5 minutes while preheating the waffle iron.
- Prepare the waffle iron by lightly coating its surface with a thin layer of non-stick cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Pour the batter into the heated waffle iron, distributing it evenly across the cooking surface. Close the iron and cook until the exterior develops a rich golden-brown color and the interior becomes fully set.
- Carefully monitor the cooking process, adjusting time based on your specific waffle maker’s recommendations and the desired level of crispness.
- Gently remove each waffle from the iron, allowing them to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes to help them firm up and maintain structural integrity.
- Serve immediately while warm, garnishing with optional toppings like sliced fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Batter consistency matters: Let the mixture rest 4-6 minutes to thicken, ensuring perfect waffle texture and easier pouring.
- Waffle iron preparation is crucial: Lightly grease with non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking and achieve crispy edges.
- Cooking time varies: Follow your specific waffle maker’s recommended settings for golden-brown, fully cooked waffles.
- Patience is key: Allow waffles to sit 1-2 minutes after cooking to help them set and become easier to remove from the iron.
- Topping suggestions enhance flavor: Fresh fruits, honey, or maple syrup can elevate these nutritious, gluten-free waffles.
- Blending technique matters: Blend ingredients for 30-45 seconds until completely smooth for a uniform, lump-free batter.
