Maple Brown Butter Banana Waffles

INGREDIENTS

• 2 medium bananas, fully mashed
• 3 cups organic all-purpose flour  (I use Bob's Red Mill; See Notes for GF option!)
• 2 Tbsps baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp allspice
• 3/4 cup Almond milk + 1 Tbsp (You can use your fave plant-based milk)
• 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
• 4 Tbsps unsalted butter

Toppings:

• pure maple syrup
• chopped walnuts, optional
• whipped cream, optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Make the Brown Butter:

• Using a saucepan on medium-high heat, melt the butter, stirring occasionally and letting it cook for 3-4 minutes, until dark bits begin to form and the entire butter becomes fragrant and darker.
• Once done, remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes before refrigerating it so that it is MOSTLY cooled, about 10 minutes.

For the Waffles:

• Preheat your waffle maker to desired setting–medium-high heat worked for me! 
• In a measuring cup, add the milk and ACV together, stirring to combine and letting them sit for 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, spices, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt. Create a well in the middle.
• Add the milk-ACV mixture, brown butter, vanilla, mashed bananas, and maple syrup in the well of the dry ingredients and stir together well (using a rubber spatula) until fully incorporated and batter looks smooth. Now, let the batter sit for 2-3 minutes while it slightly thickens and rises, which means that the ingredients have activated. **NOTE: the batter should be pourable but not 'runny' at all. It should slightly stick when whisk is lifted up, as a test.**
• Next, spoon batter into your waffle maker (1/4 cup approximately) and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions. 
• Once each waffle completes, add to a baking sheet and place them in the oven on the lowest setting (to keep them warm). Repeat until all waffles are made.
• To serve–stack waffles (whole or cut), add toppings, and drizzle with maple syrup, if desired.
• Bon Appetit!
