Gluten Free Vegan Peanut Butter Waffles

Makes 8-10 Big Waffles

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 Flax Eggs (2 tablespoons flax meal + 5 tablespoons water)
• 2 Ripe Bananas
• 1/2 cup Peanut Butter (no added salt or sugar if possible!)
• 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1 3/4 cup Unsweetened Almond or Soy Milk
• 2 tablespoons Date Syrup (or sub maple syrup!)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 2.5 cups Gluten Free Flour
• Fruit drizzle or chocolate syrup if desired

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Make flax eggs in a large bowl and let sit 5-7 minutes until mixture begins to gel up.
2. Add peeled bananas and peanut butter to bowl and mash together.
3. Add baking powder and salt and continue to mash until blended.
4. Add vegan milk, date syrup, and vanilla and stir until combined.
5. Add flour and mix until just combined.
6. Spray waffle iron if needed with oil. Pour approximately 1/2-3/4 cup onto a preheated waffle iron and cook until brown and crispy on outside (approximately 5-6 minutes).
7. Place waffles on cookie sheet and put in lightly warm oven to maintain temperature until ready to eat.
8. Top with fruit drizzle or chocolate syrup and enjoy!

Note: I used cherry jam I made last summer and mixed it with a little water to make it syrupy and pour over the top. It’s an easy way to make a fruit syrup!
