Coconut Milk Waffles [Oil Free]
Description
Coconut Milk Waffles [Oil Free] rely on whole wheat flour for structure and coconut milk for fat content, which makes these waffles crispier even without added oil or butter. The mashed banana lends natural sweetness and moisture, keeping the waffles tender. The batter is stirred just until combined with a few lumps remaining to avoid a tough texture. Cooking in a preheated waffle iron ensures the batter doesn’t stick and develops a golden crust. The waffles can be cooked longer for a crispier texture or less time for softness.
These waffles pair well with a variety of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or fruit jams, adding flavor and sweetness. Their oil-free nature makes them a lighter option for breakfast or brunch, especially when served with fresh fruit.
For best results, measure flour by weight or spoon flour into measuring cups to avoid overpacking. Use ripe spotted bananas to maximize flavor, and wait until the waffle iron is hot before cooking. Avoid opening the waffle iron lid too early to prevent breaking the waffles. Note that subsequent batches may cook slightly faster as the iron heats up.
Ingredients
- 270 grams whole wheat flour approx. 2 cups spooned + leveled
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 400 ml coconut milk approx. 13.5 ounce can, unsweetened; brand Thai Kitchen
- ⅓ cup banana approx. 1 very small banana or half a large, mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 2-4 tablespoons water if needed
Optional Toppings
- blueberry chia jam
- Fresh fruit
- maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Then add the coconut milk, banana, and vanilla and mix until just combined, and no floury bits remain but don't overmix. A few lumps are perfectly fine.NOTE: If the batter appears too thick (it should be pourable similar to pancake batter), add the optional water and give everything another quick stir.
- Cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions, approx 5-6 minutes for each batch. Cook longer for crispier waffles, and less for softer waffles.
- Serve with blueberry chia jam, maple syrup, or fresh fruit.
Notes
- Use canned coconut milk with full fat for the best texture; do not substitute with other plant milks as fat content is important for crispiness.
- Measure flour by weight or spoon into cups without packing to avoid a dense batter and adjust liquid as needed.
- Choose very ripe spotted bananas for natural sweetness and better flavor.
- Ensure the waffle iron is fully preheated before adding batter to prevent sticking and broken waffles.
- Wait the minimum manufacturer-recommended cooking time before checking waffles, as opening too soon may cause them to break.
- Watch the cooking time on subsequent batches closely as they may cook faster.
