Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the unsweetened almond milk, rolled oats, eggs, egg white, ripe banana, 100% real maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Blend everything until you achieve a smooth batter with no lumps.
- Heat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once hot, lightly spray both sides with non-stick cooking spray. Alternatively, you can melt a small pat of butter on the surface for added richness.
- Cook Waffles: Pour a portion of the blended batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron’s settings, typically 3-5 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Serve and Garnish: Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the iron. Drizzle with real maple syrup and add your choice of toppings such as fresh berries, handcrafted whipped cream, nut butters, almonds, or dark chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use gluten-free certified rolled oats to ensure the recipe is truly gluten-free.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup to taste if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet waffle.
- For a dairy-free option, use vegan-friendly whipped cream or skip the whipped cream topping.
- Leftover waffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage. Reheat in a toaster or oven for best results.
- If you don’t have a waffle iron, you can cook the batter in a non-stick skillet as pancakes.
