The ingredients

Coconut flour waffles recipe

The Ingredients

• Wheat flour
• Oatmeal - whenever I can, I like to replace part of the wheat flour in some recipes with other flours, making them a little healthier.
• Protein powder - in this recipe, I used this banana-vanilla flavored protein, but you can use another one to taste.
• Banana - In this type of recipe, I always use the ripest bananas or the ones I have frozen because they are always sweeter, and a moister pulp gives waffles a better texture.
• Egg - is only here to help bind all the ingredients, and is also a protein source.
• Milk - can be used to taste, animal, or vegetable source (I used oat).
• Coconut oil - those who don't like the taste of coconut can use neutral coconut oil (since it has no flavor) or another oil, such as grape seed oil, which I also use a lot in my recipes.
• Coconut sugar - can be substituted by another sweetener to taste or light/dark brown sugar.
• Baking soda - its presence serves to make waffles rise and become fluffier.

How to make

• In a bowl, the wheat flour and oat flour are weighed.
• Then add the remaining dry ingredients: protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
• With the help of a fork, mash the banana well until you obtain a puree.
• In another bowl, break the egg and beat it along with the sugar.
• Then add the banana puree, milk, and oil, and mix well.
• Gradually dry ingredients are mixed with the moist ingredients, but without over stirring them.
• Turn on the waffle maker on a medium level (mine is level 3) and allows it to heat up well.
• Place about 2 tablespoons of the preparation in the center of the machine and close.
• Bake for 1 minute and 30 seconds (I use a timer to measure the time).
• Remove and allow to cool, preferably on a grill.
• Repeat the procedure until the waffle dough runs out.
• This amount yields about 8 to 10 units.
• Serve with fruit and/or with ice cream or whipped cream to taste.
