Hello, waffles. Not just waffles.. delicious, protein-packed, nutritious and energy-boosting waffles! With almond pulp I had leftover from my nut milk making, I substituted the flour with that and then added some fresh rhubarb as well. So tasty! I will make note that if you do not happen to be making nut milk you can, of course, just use regular all-purpose flour for these waffles, and the batter could also be used to make pancakes. Fluffy, delish pancakes, I might add. I made these for the kids and they loved them BUT, my kids are chocolate-obsessed so I saved half my batter and I threw in a little handful of dark chocolate chips. So, it’s a pretty adaptable recipe, just use whatever you have on hand. 😀 I also added fresh strawberries we grew but any side of fruit will do just fine. Enjoy!!

minutesIngredients
2 cups almond pulp (If you don’t have this- use flour)
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
6 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 stalk rhubarb, sliced very thin
For caramelized bananas:
1/4 cup salted butter1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup water
3-4 bananas (not over-ripe), cut into thin rounds
whipped cream, for serving
chopped nuts, for serving
Directions
- Preheat waffle iron and spray with nonstick baking spray. In large bowl, combine the almond pulp, baking powder, sugar and salt. Create a hollow in the center of dry ingredient and whisk in the egg and milk, then add the melted butter and vanilla. Stir batter together until just combined, do not over-mix. Fold in the rhubarb and then scoop batter into waffle iron to cook until lightly browned on both sides. (Should make about 4 large Belgian waffles) Set waffles aside on serving plates.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small skillet, add the brown sugar and water and whisk until dissolved and simmering. Add the bananas in a single layer and let simmer 5-7 minutes, until caramelizing and browned, then flip and repeat on other side. Transfer the caramelized bananas on top of the waffles, then use the leftover caramel sauce as a syrup, drizzling over each waffle.
- Top waffles with whipped cream and chopped nuts, and any side of fruit you desire. Serve and enjoy!
