Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 2 large waffles
Ingredients
  • For the waffles:
  • 1 small overly ripe banana, mashed (scant ½ cup)
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled to touch
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup milk or milk substitute
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum (only if your gluten free mix doesn't already contain a gum)
  • 1¼ cups plus 1 tablespoon high quality gluten free flour or my preferred blend (1/3 cup sorghum flour, ⅓ cup white rice flour, ⅓ cup superfine almond or brown rice flour, ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon potato starch)
  • For the caramelized bananas:
  • 1 yellow banana, cut into ½" rounds
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Toppings:
  • Nutiva hazelnut spread, pure maple syrup, Siggi's Simple Sides Yogurt (preferred flavor)
Directions
  1. Preheat waffle iron to desired setting (I like medium). In a large mixing bowl, mash banana until soupy. Add melted coconut oil, egg, milk or milk substitute, vanilla and sugar. Mix until smooth.
  2. Add salt, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, xanthan gum (if needed), and gluten free flour (or my preferred blend). Mix until smooth. Let batter sit while you begin to caramelize bananas.
  3. Slice banana on a plate into ½" rounds and dip both sides in sugar. Heat butter in skillet over medium high heat. Once butter melts, add banana slices. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden.
  4. While bananas are cooking, spray skillet and add batter. Cook according to your waffle iron. Remove from skillet and let waffle cool slightly on cooking rack.
  5. Once bananas are golden brown, assemble waffles by drizzling Nutiva hazelnut spread and pure maple syrup. Add caramelized bananas and a scoop of Siggi's yogurt. Sprinkle Siggi's toppings on waffle. Serve immediately.
  6. Store leftover waffles in airtight container in fridge for up to 1 week or in freezer for up to 3 months.
