Remember how I turned into an egg once I got pregnant? Since then it’s been savory breakfasts 99% of the time. Fried eggs with a side of fried eggs please. Until last week when my body randomly decided waffles and banana bread were the only way to start the day.
Well okay then!
At first, waffles may seem a labor intensive breakfast choice. But actually, they’re not! Way easier than pancakes! You pour it in and go about your business in the kitchen and it tells you once it’s done…sooo…winning! I also should share the fact that I no longer clean my waffle iron. I don’t know how to do it efficiently and effectively, and it seems an unnecessary thing to do if all you are going to do is use it for waffles. Probably a bad call, but the last 3 times I’ve used it, I’ve just put it straight away (after letting it cool) and I haven’t noticed anything different in how it’s cooking. Washing the waffle iron sucks, so I’m over it. Too bad I can’t follow that same principle when it comes to paying taxes.
The first time I made this recipe, I thought I just had dumb luck (gluten free baking with coconut flour is like so hit and miss). I didn’t write the recipe down, but I knew roughly what I did. So the next day I tried again. Success! And once more! Then we ran out of bananas. 🙁 So this is officially the easiest way to make ONE GLUTEN FREE WAFFLE. Holler for the single serving!
Gluten Free Banana Waffle for One [nut free, dairy free, gluten free, oil free]
Ingredients:
- 1 banana, mashed and whipped
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
- 2 tbsp all purpose gluten free flour (I used TJ’s)
- 5 tbsp water (or any liquid)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
Directions:
Mix egg and banana really well. Add in the rest of the ingredients and pour onto a greased hot waffle iron.
Per your machine’s settings and your preference, cook until done. I use the 3-4 setting on my cuisinart and once the light turns green it’s perfection.
The inside is soft and fluffy and I top it with nut butter (or sunbutter) and maple syrup.
Ahh this is so handy! I always want single serves of pancakes or waffle recipes so this is just right! I have to admit I always think naahhh to waffles because they always seem to complicated and long winded.
This is perfect. Thank you! I just bought a new waffle iron a few months ago. My whole family loves freshly made waffles.
This look delicious, I need to make it ASAP!
I need to get myself a waffle maker. I love me some waffles!
Thank you for sharing! It can be so difficult to find single serving waffle recipes!
Making this!!! I usually prep breakfast the night before, so I’ll make a few ahead of time of these!
Ok, these are majorly delicious and so easy! My almost 15 month old helped me make them this morning. We shared the serving with some scrambled eggs and raspberries and just peanut butter on top. Yum!
