Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the Waffle Iron

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, combine the mashed bananas, eggs, milk, melted coconut oil or butter, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay.

5. Cook the Waffles

Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or brush with melted coconut oil or butter. Pour enough batter into the waffle iron to cover the surface, being careful not to overfill. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.

6. Serve

Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately with your favorite toppings. Suggestions include fresh fruit, maple syrup, honey, nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream.

Serving Suggestions

These gluten-free banana waffles are versatile and can be enjoyed with a variety of toppings:

• Sliced bananas and a sprinkle of chopped nuts
• A dollop of Greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey
• Peanut butter and chocolate chips for a decadent treat

Storage

Store any leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or oven until warmed through. You can also freeze the waffles for up to 3 months. Separate the waffles with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together, and reheat directly from the freezer in a toaster or oven.
