Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Oat Waffles
These Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Waffles are SO delicious and rich, you won’t believe that you made them yourself AND that they’re packed with nutrient-dense, nourishing ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1/3 medium banana
- 1 chia egg
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/3 cup oat flour
- 1 tbsp chocolate protein powder
- 1 tbsp cacao powder
- 1 tap baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 4 tbsp soy milk
- 1 tbsp Honey or maple syrup optional, makes waffles crispier
- 2-3 tbsp chocolate chips optional, makes extra chocolatey
Toppings:
- Leftover banana
- Other fruits: strawberries blueberries, raspberries, etc.
- Peanut Butter
- Maple Syrup or Honey
Instructions
- Make your chia egg.
- Turn on your waffle iron to medium-high heat. Turning your waffle iron on now is important. We want the waffle iron to be very very hot! I like to make sure mine has the ready light on for at least 5-7 minutes!
- In a small bowl, mash 1/3 of the banana. Then add the chia egg, peanut butter, and lemon juice.
- Add in the oat flour, chocolate protein powder, cacao powder, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Combine.
- Add in 2 tbsp of the soymilk. Mix well. Then add in another 2 tbsp of soymilk. Mix well until a batter forms that is still relatively thick.
- Let the batter rest for 4-5 minutes.
- When the batter has about a minute left of resting, grease the waffle iron with some oil. It should sizzle.
- Spoon the batter into the waffle iron and spread evenly. Close it and let cook. *
- Top with toppings, and enjoy!
Notes
*Now this is kind of tricky. Every waffle iron is different, so you may fail the first time like I did. But I’ve learned a couple things that may help you. My ready light for the waffle iron came on about 2 minutes after I put it in and it was not enough.
So, the second time I made it, I kept the iron closed after the ready light came on and waited another 2 minutes.
I sort of gauge that it’s done when the smoke coming out of the waffle iron starts to lessen and the waffle becomes really, really fragrant.
But again, every waffle iron is different, so you might need to experiment a little!
I also just try not to open it early because mine never comes back together after the waffle splits and is half done. I can always fix it if its burned with extra toppings :)
