Next Monday (25th March) is International Waffle Day so we’ve decided to serve you up a wicked waffle recipe that ticks all the boxes for you to try this weekend!
We searched high and low for an athlete with the ultimate waffle recipe and Stirling-based Commonwealth champion Aimee Willmott delivered.
Take it away Aimee…
These waffles will leave you feeling full for hours with no crazy sugar rushes, bonus! They’re perfect for a post-training treat or a breakfast on a well-earned day off.
Before you can do anything make sure you’ve got all the items on my ingredients list,
Ingredients:
- 500g oat flour
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 large banana, mashed
- 60g coconut oil
- 1 large egg
- 250ml unsweetened almond milk (have extra on standby)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 60g chocolate chips
Right then time to whip up some worldie Willmott waffles, you’re about 30 mins away from having a tasty but most importantly healthy treat on your plate!
Method:
- First step to creating these yummy waffles is to combine the oat flour, coconut flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl mix together the mashed up banana, coconut oil, egg, almond milk and vanilla.
- Next, it’s time for the wet and dry mixes to join up, give it a good mix until fully combined. Throw in the all-important chocolate chips and let the mixture sit for 5 mins or so – good things come to those who wait!
- In the meantime heat up the waffle maker and spray or brush with a tiny bit of coconut oil.
- Add additional almond milk to the mixture if too thick (no more than a hearty splash).
- Pour in the required amount of batter to your waffle maker and let it cook until ready.
- Keep repeating the process until you’ve used up all the mixture – with the quantities I listed you should get about 4-5 waffles depending on the size of your waffle maker. If you need more waffles just double up on everything!
- Serve immediately with maple syrup, nut butter or toppings of choice.
