Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons flax meal
- ¾ cup plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ⅓ cup mashed ripe banana
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup salted vegan butter melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flax meal and plant-based milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Add the brown sugar, mashed banana, vanilla extract, and melted vegan butter to the bowl. Stir until well combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using).
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Let the batter sit while the waffle iron preheats. Lightly oil the waffle iron.
- Pour ⅓ to ½ cup of batter into the center of the waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
- Carefully remove the waffle and place it on a cooling rack.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, oiling the waffle iron as needed.
Notes
- Use overripe bananas: For maximum sweetness and flavor, use a banana with plenty of dark spots.
- Don’t over-mix: To avoid dense, rubbery waffles. A few tiny lumps are fine. Rest it for 20-30 minutes if needed.
- Preheat the waffle iron: To prevent sticking and ensure even cooking with crispy edges.
- Don’t overfill the waffle iron: Aim to cover ¾ of the surface. It will spread when closed.
