I did a double-take when I saw a bag of banana flour in the store. Have you seen it in stores near you yet? I had no idea what to expect. Banana flour is perfect for paleo baking!

After a bit of experimenting with banana flour recipes, I was surprised to see that your baked goods don’t have a strong banana flavor.The next time I make this recipe, I may mash a ripe banana in just to get that banana flavor into the waffles.

(For other yummy paleo breakfast ideas, these Honeynut Squash with Eggs or these Paleo BreakfastMuffins are also fun to make.)

Why this recipe is great:

Banana flour is the latest craze in grain-free cooking and baking. It is easy to use and tastes delicious!

I love that banana flour is gluten free, and my recipe uses no refined sugar. These waffles make a great paleo breakfast recipe! I can’t wait to serve these waffles to my kids; I am curious to see if they can tell they are different.

What do you do with banana flour?

Banana flour is quite literally ground-up bananas. It is a fine powder much lower in calories than many other gluten free flours. These four contain nutrition, including potassium, vitamins, and minerals.

When you bake with gluten free flour, it is important to mix a couple of different flours with starch so that the baked goods hold together. This isn’t the case with banana flour recipes. You can use banana flour by itself with no other flour!

Recipe step-by-step directions:

Step 1: Add the dry ingredients to a bowl and whisk to blend.

Step 2: Add the wet ingredients and whisk to mix. The paleo waffle batter should be runny, like in the above picture.

Step 3: Preheat the waffle iron as directed. Once the green light turns on, my waffle iron is ready for the waffle batter.

Add the banana flour batter to the waffle iron and close the lid.

Step 4: Allow cooking for 3-5 minutes (depending on your waffle iron.) Use a fork to remove the waffle from the waffle iron.

Stack up on a plate and enjoy hot with maple syrup!

Substitutions and Variations

• If you don’t have a waffle iron, use this batter to make paleo pancakes.
• Add mashed ripe bananas to the batter so you get more banana flavor.
• Add pecans to the batter for extra protein.
• Feel free to whip coconut cream into coconut whipped cream to top your waffles.
