Banana Bread Vegan Waffles

These vegan banana bread waffles are a delicious and easy way to start your day. They're made with oat flour, mashed bananas, almond milk, maple syrup, and spices, and they're cooked in a waffle iron until golden brown and crispy. Serve them with your favorite toppings, like sliced bananas, maple syrup, or nut butter.

I've always been a fan of banana bread, but I never thought to make it into waffles until recently. I was looking for a way to use up some ripe bananas, and I had some oat flour on hand, so I decided to give it a try. The waffles turned out so well that I've been making them regularly ever since.

Prep time: 10 | Cook time: 15 | Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 1/2 cups oat flour
• 1/4 cup almond milk
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• Coconut oil or cooking spray for greasing the waffle iron

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
2. Add oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
3. Fold in chopped walnuts into the batter.
4. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with coconut oil or cooking spray.
5. Pour the batter onto the waffle iron, spreading it evenly, and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden and crispy.
6. Repeat with the remaining batter.
7. Serve the banana bread waffles warm with your favorite toppings like sliced bananas, maple syrup, or nut butter.
