Background

These banana waffles with strawberry compote are truly yummy and so easy to make. Perfect for weekend breakfast or brunch, particularly on special occasions, such as anniversaries, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s day etc. You can serve it as a dessert too, with added whipped cream, vanilla ice-cream or custard.

Ingredients

1.5 cup flour
2 ripe bananas
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup almond milk
1 large egg
1 Tbsp oil
½ tsp ground cinnamon
For the strawberry compote:
1 cup strawberries
Half lemon, juiced
2 tsp vanilla extract
Drop of water

Instructions

Put the bananas, eggs, vanilla essence oil and milk in a blender. Pulse for a few seconds, until you get a smooth, creamy paste. Add the flour and baking powder, then then whiz for a few more seconds. Add more milk, if needed – you should have a thick, but pourable batter.
Heat the waffle maker. Once it’s hot, spoon in the batter, then seal. Following the machine instructions, cook the waffles for about 5 minutes - they should be golden brown and crispy. You should be able to get 3 or 4 waffles from the mixture (depending on the size of your machine).
Meanwhile, make the strawberry compote.
Cut the strawberries in half and put them in a small pan. Add the lemon juice, vanilla and a drop of water. You can add a little sugar, if the strawberries are not sweet and ripe. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the strawberries are tender and you have a thick syrup around them.
Serve the waffles with the strawberries and the syrup.
