Ingredients

• 1 cup rice flour
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup gluten-free protein powder (vanilla flavored)
• 2 medium, mashed ripe bananas
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 1.25 cups almond milk (unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons, melted coconut oil
• 0 cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, add the mashed bananas, eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until a smooth batter forms, being careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle plates with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Pour enough batter into the preheated waffle iron to cover three-quarters of the waffle surface. Close the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6

Carefully remove the cooked waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Step 7

Serve the gluten-free banana protein waffles warm, topped with your choice of fresh fruit, nut butter, or maple syrup.
