Waffles made from scratch with Whole wheat flour , bananas, almonds and coconut oil. This has been the healthiest and yummiest waffle I have ever made. So easy to make and equally tasty 🙂

Ingredients

1½ cup white whole wheat flour (or regular whole wheat flour)

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon nutmeg

¾ cup chopped almonds

⅓ cup melted coconut oil

1 ½  cup milk of choice, lukewarm

¾ cup overripe mashed bananas (about 2 small bananas), plus more for topping

1 large egg

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

Heat waffle iron on high heat

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, sea salt and nutmeg. Stir in the chopped almonds

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the melted coconut oil and milk. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until the mixture is lukewarm. Whisk in mashed banana, egg, and vanilla extract.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over mix. Tiny lumps may remain. Pour batter onto the heated waffle iron, enough to cover the center and most of the central surface area. Once the iron has stopped steaming and the waffle is deeply golden, transfer it to a cooling rack or baking sheet. Don’t stack your waffles on top of each other, or they’ll lose crispness. Place in oven to keep warm.

Top with sliced bananas, chopped almonds and 100% pure maple syrup, and serve. Save leftovers in the fridge and reheat by placing the waffle back in the griddle or in the toaster on a light setting.
