Vegan Banana Waffles
Author:Up your vegan breakfast game with these delicious Vegan Banana Waffles. They are tender on the inside, golden and crispy on the outside, and full of perfectly spiced, sweet banana, flavour.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 ml) dairy-free dairy milk
- 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon liquid oil of choice , or cashew butter for oil free but they won't be quite as light and fluffy
- 1 medium banana peeled , weighing around 170g in it's skin
- 1½ cups + 2 tablespoons (200 grams) all purpose flour , or spelt flour. If you are in the UK use plain flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda , bicarbonate of soda in the UK
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
INSTRUCTIONS
To make the batter in a blender
- Add all of the ingredients to the blender, starting with the liquids and the banana first.
- Blend the ingredients until smooth. Don't over blend. Turn it off as soon as everything is smooth and combined.
- Leave the batter to rest while you generously grease and preheat your waffle iron.
- Pour/spoon the batter onto the waffle maker and cook on a medium temperature (no higher) until steam stops coming out of the side. You must wait until there is absolutely no steam emerging so keep a careful watch. Ignore any signals from your machine if it tells you they are done earlier.
- Once all signs of steam have stopped open the iron slowly to give the waffles time to detach themselves. Serve immediately or keep warm on a plate in an oven on its lowest setting until you have finished cooking the entire batch.
To make the batter by hand
- Mash the banana really, really well until it is a very smooth puree consistency. Beat it together with the milk and oil until combined well.
- Add all of the dry ingredients to a bowl, whisk them together, then gradually pour in the milky banana mixture, stirring as you go to work out the lumps. Stir until all of the flour is absorbed and the batter is smooth, then leave to rest while you grease and preheat your waffle iron as per the instructions above.
NOTES
Store leftovers in a container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Warm through in a toaster before serving. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Place in a toaster straight from the freezer. If there's a "frozen" button on your toaster push it, if not, they might take 2 cycles to warm right through.
