Make these resistant starch packed Fluffy Peanut Butter Banana Flour Waffles a part of your brunch plans, then have them again for dessert! They're just that fine!
Ahhh, Sunday... how I love to hate thee. You lull me into a false sense of leisure with your sleep 'till noon easy-going smile and in a wink, disappear my weekend before catapulting me into the harsh reality that is Monday. Is it just me, or does time pick up its pace just a little on Sundays?
The best part of Sunday is brunch and for me that normally includes freshly made waffles - savory or sweet.
Like the Banana Flour Pancakes from a few months ago, these Fluffy Peanut Butter Banana Flour Waffles were made with WEDO Banana Flour. Banana flour is made by simply gathering unripe green bananas before the sugar content has fully developed, followed by peeling, slicing, drying, grinding and packaging. Some benefits listed on the website, include:
- 12 bananas worth of potassium in each container.
- 100% all natural green bananas, no additives, preservatives, chemicals or dyes.
- Contains RS2, a resistant starch with an impressive list of health benefits.
Not only is it great for baking, I love it in my smoothies. It is gluten-free, for those with restrictive diets and yields similar results to that of whole wheat flour. In baking, ⅔ cups of flour can be substituted for 1 cup of flour, keeping in mind, some recipes may require binding agents for better results. Because it doesn't impart a noticeable banana flavour when baked, you are not limited to using it in banana based recipes. I plan to use it to thicken soup next.
I have enjoyed using this flour and should note that I did not receive compensation - product nor money - for this post. I purchased WEDO Banana Flour on Amazon and liked it so much, I sent a note to the company. I enjoy using and experimenting with new ingredients and I thought you, my readers, would love it as well, so I asked them to provide the product for this giveaway.
