Nutty Banana Waffles - Gluten Free!

Who likes waffles?

Who likes easy-to-make waffles?

Who likes waffles that won't make you feel like you have a ton of bricks in your belly?

If you raised your hand to all of these questions, you'll love this recipe and you should try them ASAP!

My family members like these with real maple syrup, but honestly, the over-ripened bananas add enough sweetness that I eat them plain!

Ingredients
Serves 4

1 1/2 cups almond flour
4 eggs
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 ripe bananas, mashed (the more ripe they are, the sweeter the waffles!)
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
Coconut oil (only if your waffle iron tends to have waffles stick to it)
Chopped pecans**

Preheat waffle iron.
In a bowl, mix all ingredients thoroughly, except for the coconut oil and pecans.
When waffle iron is heated and if your waffle iron has waffles stick to it, brush some coconut oil in each square (I have to do this with only one of my waffle irons).
Drop about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of each waffle-spot.
**Optional: before closing lid, sprinkle some or all of them with chopped pecans.  I like doing this over mixing the nuts straight into the batter, because some family members like the nuts and some don't.  This way, I control not only the amount of pecans per waffle, but also whether or not to sprinkle pecans over waffles.
Once you've sprinkled desired amount of pecans on each waffle square, close lid and cook until done.
