22 Mar 2019

Next Monday (25th March) is International Waffle Day so we’ve decided to serve you up a wicked waffle recipe that ticks all the boxes for you to try this weekend!

We searched high and low for an athlete with the ultimate waffle recipe and Stirling-based Commonwealth champion Aimee Willmott delivered.

Take it away Aimee…

These waffles will leave you feeling full for hours with no crazy sugar rushes, bonus! They’re perfect for a post-training treat or a breakfast on a well-earned day off.

Before you can do anything make sure you’ve got all the items on my ingredients list,

Ingredients:

  • 500g oat flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 large banana, mashed
  • 60g coconut oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 250ml unsweetened almond milk (have extra on standby)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 60g chocolate chips

Right then time to whip up some worldie Willmott waffles, you’re about 30 mins away from having a tasty but most importantly healthy treat on your plate!

Method:

  1. First step to creating these yummy waffles is to combine the oat flour, coconut flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl mix together the mashed up banana, coconut oil, egg, almond milk and vanilla.
  3. Next, it’s time for the wet and dry mixes to join up, give it a good mix until fully combined. Throw in the all-important chocolate chips and let the mixture sit for 5 mins or so – good things come to those who wait!
  4. In the meantime heat up the waffle maker and spray or brush with a tiny bit of coconut oil.
  5. Add additional almond milk to the mixture if too thick (no more than a hearty splash).
  6. Pour in the required amount of batter to your waffle maker and let it cook until ready.
  7. Keep repeating the process until you’ve used up all the mixture – with the quantities I listed you should get about 4-5 waffles depending on the size of your waffle maker. If you need more waffles just double up on everything!
  8. Serve immediately with maple syrup, nut butter or toppings of choice.
