Equipment

  • 1 Waffle maker

Ingredients

  • 3 medium-sized ripe banana
  • cup tapioca starch (300g)
  • ½ cup rice flour (75g)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (75g)
  • ¾ cup sugar (150g)
  • tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 eggs (size L)
  • 1 can coconut cream (14oz/400ml)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together the coconut milk, eggs, cooking oil, and vanilla extract, along with the sugar and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the tapioca starch, all-purpose flour, rice flour, and baking powder.
  • Gradually sift the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mix well. The batter may have slight lumps from the tapioca starch, but this is fine.
  • Sieve the batter to remove any lumps.
  • Mash the banana then mix it into the batter. Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for 20-30 minutes.
  • Preheat your waffle maker. Applying some melted butter on the molds helps enhance the flavor and creates a nice crust on your waffles.
  • Give the waffle batter a quick mix before cooking, as it may have separated slightly during the resting period. Use a ladle to pour three to four scoops of batter onto the waffle iron, adjusting the amount based on the size of the waffle mold.
    Making banana waffles
