INGREDIENTS

FOR THE WAFFLES:

• 2 bananas
• 2 eggs
• 2 scoops (60 g) Happy Way Like A Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder
• 1 tsp gluten-free baking powder
• 2 tbsp coconut oil and extra for greasing
• 5-6 tbsp milk of choice (we used almond milk)
• 1 cup (90 g) gluten-free oats

FOR THE TOPPING:

You can add whatever toppings your tummy desires, but here are some of Nicole's faves (@prettywildwellness).

• Sliced banana with Pip & Nut Peanut Butter and mixed seeds.
• Nature’s Charm Coconut Salted Caramel with seasonal berries and flaked almonds.
• Pip & Nut Almond Butter with raspberries and coconut yoghurt.
• Pip & Nut Crunchy Peanut Butter, with fig jam and yoghurt.
• Meridian Cocoa & Hazelnut Butter, cocoa nibs and hazelnuts.
• Whipped coconut cream, peaches, chia seeds and walnuts.

METHOD

1. Preheat your waffle maker to a medium-high heat.
2. Add the oats, protein powder, baking powder, banana, coconut oil and half of the milk to a blender. Pulse until a thick batter starts to form.
3. Pour into a bowl and fold in the egg, adding a little more milk if your batter is too thick.
4. Once your waffle maker is heated, grease with a little coconut oil on both sides.
5. Pour half of your batter mix into the waffle iron, making sure you push the mixture into the edges, then press. After 2 minutes, check your waffles. If they're not quite toasted to your liking, press for a further 20-30 seconds.
6. Use some non stick tongs to remove your waffle from the iron onto a plate, and add your desired toppings—enjoy!
7. Grease the waffle press with some more coconut oil and the repeat with the remaining batter.
