Beyond Easy Waffles

I will be the first to admit, I don’t make waffles or pancakes unless they are EASY to make, made with few ingredients, or freezer friendly. That being said, I have now made these paleo waffles almost every weekend in the past month because they are all of the above! Major meal prep and weekend brunch goals!

This simple recipe is perfect for brunch, Mothers Day, or even breakfast for dinner. All you need are bananas, eggs, and a smidge of coconut flour or arrowroot starch.

Naturally sugar-free, rich in fiber, and protein. These Paleo waffles are budget-friendly and as mentioned above, the waffles freeze well, so you can make enough for weekday breakfasts.

Paleo Waffle Ingredients

This batter can also be used to make pancakes. Be sure to chill batter first.

Eggs – 2 whole eggs + ¼ cup egg white for extra fluff
Bananas – This recipe works best with ripe bananas
Coconut flour – You can substitute arrowroot starch.
Butter, non dairy-butter, or non-stick spray for the waffle iron

Tips for making perfect Paleo waffles

I want to share a couple of tips for making waffles, and not just Paleo waffles; these tips are for any type of waffle.

Grease the waffle iron plates. You can use melted butter or vegan butter to grease the cooking plates. Just use a silicone pastry brush to lightly coat the plates. This also helps create extra crispy edges without using real flour, ya know?
Pre-heat the waffle iron. If it’s not hot enough, when you add the batter, there is nothing but trouble ahead. If you do end up with stuck waffle, these tips should help you remove it.
- Unplug the waffle maker and let it cool down slightly.
- Peel away as much of the cooked waffle as you can. If you have any pools of oil or butter, use a paper towel to soak them up.
- If the entire surface of the plate is covered with cooked waffle, see if you can slide a silicone spatula underneath to pry it away. If that doesn’t work, soak the waffle with cooking oil and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Then, dampen a clean towel or rag to wipe the grids clean.

Don’t have a waffle maker? Not a problem; use the batter to make pancakes instead!

How to Make 3-Ingredient Waffles

Place eggs, egg whites, and banana in blender or use hand blender to blend by hand.
Mix in the coconut flour and blend again until smooth.

Don’t have a blender? No problem, mash until thick batter is formed.

Place batter in fridge to chill for 20 minutes.
Heat a waffle maker on medium high. Coat with butter or vegan spread.
Ladle the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Serve immediately with topping of choice or lay on a cooling rack until cool.
Store in zip close bags or freezer friendly container if you want to freeze for later and meal prep.
