Vegan Banana Waffles Food

VEGAN BANANA WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat waffle iron according to manufacture's instructions.
• In a large bowl, sift and whisk the flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together.
• In a medium sized bowl, mix the mashed bananas, plant-based milk, oil and vanilla together. Pour in the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until blended. It's okay if it's lumpy. Stir in the nuts if using. Do not overmix.
• Cook the waffles according to the waffle iron manufacturer's instructions, or until the waffle iron stops steaming. These waffles are a slightly darker colour when cooked at higher temperatures because of the sugars from the bananas. You may wish to use a medium setting. Don't stack your waffles or they will lose their crisp exteriors.
• Serve with fresh bananas, chopped nuts or fresh fruit, and maple syrup.

EASY VEGAN BANANA WAFFLES (WFPB)

Steps:

• Preheat your waffle maker. If needed, add some spray oil to prevent the batter from sticking.
• Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth.
• Pour 1/4 a cup of the batter into the waffle maker and close for approximately five minutes, until steam starts coming out. Repeat until batter is used up. This will make approximately five waffles.

VEGAN WHOLE WHEAT BANANA FLAX WAFFLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. In a large measuring cup, mix the wet ingredients. Pour the wet into the dry and blend using a hand mixer on a low setting until you get a smooth batter.
• Heat a waffle iron and spray with oil. Pour in the batter and cook until it stops steaming and the waffles are browned.

BANANA-NUT WAFFLES (GLUTEN-FREE AND VEGAN)

Steps:

• Heat waffle iron.
• Beat bananas, milk substitute, oil, and sweetener with a wire whisk or electric mixer.
• Stir in flour, baking powder and salt until just mixed. Batter may be lumpy.
• Fold in nuts or berries or chocolate chips.
• Spray waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour about 2/3 cup of batter onto the center of the iron. Close lid.
• Bake about 5 minutes or until steaming stops. Carefully remove waffle and serve with non-hydrogenated margarine (I like Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread) and real maple syrup or honey. Other serving suggestions: spread with peanut butter or top with fresh berries and vegan whipped cream or vegan ice cream.
• If you have extra batter, either store it in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or two OR go ahead and cook up some more waffles and freeze them in Ziploc bags. Then toast for a weekday morning treat!
