Gluten Free Banana Nut Waffles

I have been on a serious breakfast kick around here. Between my Orange Banana Breakfast Smoothie, 100% Whole Wheat Waffles, Tropical Fruit & Yogurt Parfait, & Strawberry & Banana Overnight Oats I’d say I’ve been giving you some pretty tasty options! Today is National Waffle Day and I’m back with some of my blogging friends to give you a selection of fantastic waffle recipes! If you follow me on Instagram you probably saw recently that I was sent an AMAZING new Blendtec Designer 625 Blender. Love, love, LOVE it! I’ve been a fan of Blendtec for years (if you haven’t checked out my Why I Love My Blendtec: Blendtec vs. Vitamix post, it’s a must read). I’ve had so much fun these past couple of weeks playing around with it.

You are probably wondering what my blender has to do with this recipe? Well, in the next couple of weeks I will be bringing you a pretty awesome series of how to make your own flours and nut milks. In these Gluten Free Banana Nut Waffles I actually made the oat flour as well as the almond milk that I used. It is SO easy to do and I can’t wait to share with some really fun posts AND a video! Stay tuned, you are NOT going to want to miss it. Until then, you can pick up some oat flour on the shelf or in the bulk bin section of your grocery store. You won’t want to wait to make these waffles. They are DIVINE!
