Matcha Waffles
Rise and shine with these beautifying waffles made with a trendy green powder called matcha. They are soft and fluffy on the inside, perfectly crispy on the outside.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour, or white whole wheat flour*
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large ripe banana
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 to 3 teaspoons matcha powder
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, or light unsweetened coconut milk
Optional toppers
- Slivered almonds
- Sliced strawberries
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Place the flour and baking powder in a small bowl and stir to blend. Set aside.
- Place the banana in a medium bowl and mash with a fork. Add the egg, vanilla and matcha powder and blend. Then add the almond milk and stir.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and stir until incorporated. Let the batter sit while you heat the waffle iron.
- Heat a waffle iron to medium setting. When the iron is ready, mist the top and bottom with nonstick oil spray. Then add 1/4 cup of the batter per compartment, close the lid and cook for about 3 minutes (waffle machines will vary in cooking time, so use your discretion and adjust accordingly).
- Open the lid and carefully remove each waffle with a fork or bamboo skewer. Place on a cooling rack, so the waffles don’t get soggy, while you finish making the entire batch.
- Serve the waffles topped with optional toasted almonds, sliced strawberries and/or maple syrup.
