Ingredients

  • 5 Strips Bacon
  • 2 Teaspoons Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 Cup Milk room temperature
  • ¾ Cup Buttermilk room temperature
  • 1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 3 Tablespoons Melted Coconut Oil
  • 3 Tablespoon Pure Maple Syrup
  • 2 Bananas mashed
  • 1 ½ Cup All Purpose Flour
  • ¾ Cup Hazelnut Meal/Almond Meal
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Cup Walnuts chopped
  • ½ Cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • ½ Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ½ Teaspoon Nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Arrange bacon on lined sheet. Sprinkle each strip of bacon with a little bit of brown sugar. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes, until crisp. Once cooked, chop and set off to the side.
  2. Combine the milks, coconut oil, and maple syrup in a large measuring cup. If you see the coconut oil start to harden once combined, just heat the mixture for a few seconds in the microwave.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas. Add the wet ingredients from the measuring cup into the bowl with the bananas. Mix.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, meal, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix in the chopped bacon, walnuts, and oats. Add all the dry ingredients into the wet ingredient bowl. Mix using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until you do not see any flour bits. Let rest while the waffle iron heats up.
  5. Make sure the waffle iron is well oiled or greased with butter or nonstick cooking spray before adding batter.
  6. Add about 1/3 of a cup to make one waffle. Cook according to your specific waffle iron’s manufacturer’s instructions. Serve with maple syrup and extra chopped walnuts and bacon!
  7. Waffles will freeze well wrapped in foil for a month. Reheat in the toaster or toaster oven.
