It’s been a while since I shared a recipe with you guys. Several weeks ago, I said that I was attempting to find a mostly grain-free pancake/waffle recipe that I enjoyed. I’ve tried so many recipes in the past (paleo friendly, too) that I didn’t care for. After much trial and error, I realized the almond flour and/or coconut flour ingredient was throwing the texture off for me.
Last week, Paleo Grubs posted a recipe for freezer-friendly waffles (borrowed from Taylor Made It Paleo), so I thought I would give it a try. I tweaked the recipe for my own personal preferences, and I loved it! These waffles are GOOD, y’all. Seriously…I actually want to eat them! They are so good in fact, I decided to share them with you today!
Almond Butter Banana Waffles (Paleo)
Adapted from: Taylor Made It Paleo
Ingredients:
- 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup almond butter (or nut-butter of your choice)
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp arrowroot flour (I used cornstarch because it’s what I had on hand)
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)
- Optional: fruit for topping
Sidenote: I didn’t have arroworoot powder on hand, so I substituted cornstarch instead (which no longer made them paleo but that was ok with me. If you want a strictly paleo recipe, don’t substitute with cornstarch.)
Directions:
Pre-heat waffle iron to desired temperature. Gather ingredients.
Combine all ingredients in a food processer. Process until smooth.
Pour batter into waffle iron and voila! Easy as pie!
Top with your favorite fruit or syrup topping, serve, and enjoy!
Serving size: 6 waffles (depending on the size of your waffle iron); 250 calories per waffle
This recipe made six waffles for me. I was able to freeze the extra and I’ve been eating on them all week! Pop them into a toaster when you’re ready for breakfast and they are ready to go!
I enjoyed these waffles on Saturday with eggs and turkey bacon after my long run. The iced coffee was pretty delicious, too!
This week, I’ve eaten a waffle with my coffee every morning for breakfast. Know what would make these taste even better? A fresh fruit topping…sad times, I’m out of fresh fruit. I need to go grocery shopping, like bad.
Anyway, let me know if you try these out and what you think about them! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Are you a waffles or pancake kinda person?
