Banana Cinnamon Waffles

Banana Cinnamon Waffles

4 cups gluten free Flour Blend**
1/2 cup Amaranth Flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
3 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup butter, melted
3-4 bananas, mashed

Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.  Add the eggs, milk, vanilla, butter, and bananas.  Mix well.  *You may need to add a little more flour or a little more milk to get batter to desired thickness.

Pour batter (about 1/2 cup for a 6"waffle) into heated waffle iron.  Cook them until they are as browned as you like them.

These are awesome served with berry syrup!  Kodiak Syrup's Mountain Berry flavor is really good.  However, you can top them with whatever topping you like.

Variation:  I have also made these with 3/4 - 1 cup applesauce instead of the bananas.  They are delicious as well.  My kids actually like this variation better than the banana waffles.

**The flour blend I used for this recipe:
1 cup white rice flour
3/4 cup sweet rice flour
1/2 cup potato starch
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/4 cup corn starch
