Vegan Whole Wheat Banana Flax Waffles
"Delicious! I estimated the measurements by checking out various recipes for other non-vegan waffles and subbed the eggs for mashed banana and the flavor was wonderful. Best with fresh berries and real maple syrup."

These are fabulous. I usually like anything AJO likes, and she's definitely right here. I feel stupid admiting it, but I didn't have any whole wheat flour in the house. I did use up all my flax, about 3/4 of a cup of it, and the rest was all white flour. I also may have used a tad more banana than called for. The kids and I ate them with a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a wonderful banana/chocolate combination. Thanks! -
Love this recipe! So tasty. I even added cocoa and made a chocolate version which was so tasty! -
I loved these! Just a hint of banana and a hit of nuttiness -- it was perfect. I substituted spelt for the whole wheat flour and it turned out great. It made about 12 on my waffle maker. A perfect amount for the four of us. I love that these are healthy and I love how these taste. My new favorite! -
I am not vegetarian and have tried many different waffle recipes. I love the flavor of these waffles! The banana flavor is mild, not overwhelming. I made the following changes: vanilla almond milk for soy milk, coconut oil for canola, and only 2 tablespoons of flax meal (since the meals thickens more than seeds would). Served with syrup and toasted pecans. I have a large Waring Belgian Waffle press (the kind you find in diners and hotel buffets) so the yield was only about 7 waffles. I would guess this recipe will feed about 6-8 people. I froze the extras and they reheated wonderfully in the toaster oven. Highly recommended. -
I made a batch of these (using my VitaMix blender) this morning for myself and husband. My husband is a carnivore and I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian, and I'm always trying to find ways to sneak healthier ingredients into a standard favorite recipe. This recipe fits the bill! My husband LOVED these waffles, as did I. However, I did make a substitution for the canola oil, which has been getting bad press lately. The 'new' healthy oil is now coconut oil . . .so I melted some coconut oil and used it in place of the canola oil. I also oiled the waffle iron with coconut oil. It lent a really nice light tropical flavor to these waffles. Bananas and coconuts go really well together! Also, I used almond milk instead of soy milk, which lends a bit of a nutty flavor as well.

I've been vegan since February of 2005, and I was vegetarian for almost a year before that. I love cooking vegan food. People always ask me, "What do you eat?" or, "Doesn't being vegan make it harder to cook?" Nope! In fact, I've found that going vegan opened up a whole new world of cooking for me. I've tried ingredients I otherwise never would have heard of, and found vegan products that are even better than their non-vegan counterparts. I love creating new dishes and recipezaar has been a wealth of inspiration.
