Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Waffles: It's been a while since I used peanut butter in my cooking/baking other than the smoothie I make for breakfast.
It's a peanut butter, chocolate, and banana smoothie which is a hit with my kids and yesterday I felt like trying a similar combination with waffles because I already have a vegan peanut butter pancake recipe here.
I used my trusted vegan waffles recipe as a base for this vegan peanut butter banana waffle recipe and it didn't fail me.
The kids loved this flavor combination. I added some chocolate chips only to a portion of the batter because my husband doesn't eat chocolate. Add chocolate, nuts of your choice for even better taste and flavor.
Recipe
Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Waffles
Ingredients
DRY INGREDIENTS:
- 1 and ¾ cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal (see My Notes)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
WET INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 and ¼ cups mashed banana
- ¾ cup natural peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl add the wet ingredients one by one and mix it thoroughly with a whisk.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix it until the batter is smooth. It should have the consistency of pancake batter; neither too thick nor too thin.
- Spray the waffle iron with cooking spray and make waffles according to the instructions that come with your waffle iron.
- Serve it with fruit and maple syrup.
My Notes
- I usually use ¼ cup of cornmeal in my waffle recipes to give it a nice crunch. I didn't have enough so just added the 1 tablespoon. The waffles were not as crunchy as those waffles but definitely good. So you can add ¼ cup of cornmeal if you have it and in that case, you might have to increase the quantity of water a little bit.
- I used smooth and creamy peanut butter, but adding crunchy peanut butter will give a good texture as well.
- Adding chocolate chips too is a great way to indulge.
Taste & Texture
- The flavor of peanut butter was dominant than the banana flavor. Not that I am complaining. The texture was crunchy, to begin with, and softens later. You can always throw it in the bread toaster and toast it for hot and fresh waffles.
