Equipment

Ingredients 

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (235g) whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup (25g) rolled oats
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (120g) mashed ripe banana
  • 1/3 cup (75g) creamy peanut butter
  • 2 medium eggs lightly beaten, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups whole fat milk

Optional

  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots (50g measured before squeezing)
  • 1/2 cup shredded zucchini (60g measured before squeezing )

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit if you want to keep waffles warm.
  • In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients until evenly distributed.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients. If adding suggested vegetables, be sure to squeeze dry the zucchini and carrots before adding.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients together. Be careful not to over mix. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes or so.
  • Preheat waffle iron. Grease by brushing or spraying with oil. Pour in 1/2 cup batter and cook according to manufacturer's directions until golden brown.
  • If desired, place the waffles on a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you finish cooking the rest of the batter.

Notes

Cooking tips:
  • Do NOT overmix the batter or you’ll end up with tough rather than light and fluffy waffles.
  • Let batter sit for 10 minutes or so to make sure the flour and oats soak up the liquid making the batter thicken. This will also allow the gluten to expand a little, resulting in a more tender texture.
  • Due to the variations of waffle makers (e.g. models, sizes, etc) on the maker, each waffle maker will vary in how long it takes for the waffles to cook through. So bake according to your manufacturer's instructions.
Storage suggestions:
Let waffles cool completely after cooking. Then store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
