Hello! Welcome to dontmissmyplate.

Thank you for visiting the website! I'm Maxine, blogger, home cook, soon to be food entrepreneur, and lover of all things food and fusion cuisine (a style of cooking that combines ingredients and methods from different countries, regions, or cultures). My approach is primarily rooted in both a Zimbabwean and American perspective based on my life experiences, making it quite varied. I hope you find the website helpful and come back! There is something for everyone, and recipes are designed to inspire you to try something new.

Gluten-Free Banana Waffles

Gluten-Free Banana Waffles

Need a quick one for a weekend breakfast or brunch? Try these banana waffles! They are soft, light, fluffy, and guilt-free.

They’re great if you have ripe bananas you need to make use of, and you’ll only need about 3 tablespoons of gluten-free flour (like coconut, almond, or oat). The rest of the batter consists of eggs (or a replacement), coconut, pecans and spices. The pecans and coconut add some needed texture.

No need for a whole lot of the sugar! The coconut, syrup or honey on top will do the trick.

Ingredients

2 bananas

1/4 cup pecans

1/4 cup desiccated coconut (sweetened)

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 1/2 tablespoons coconut flour

3 eggs

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

Mash the bananas in a large bowl.

Add the eggs, spices, salt, baking soda and vanilla, whisk until evenly mixed.

Stir in the pecans and coconut.

Prepare your waffle maker and cook as normal.

Serve and garnish with syrup and whipped cream. Makes 2.
