Hemp seeds are becoming very popular as people learn all the health benefits and find more ways to use these little seeds.

Quinoa & Oat Banana Waffles with Hemp Seed - Gluten Free
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Gluten-free oats regular if gluten-free is not needed
- 1/2 cup Quinoa flakes
- 1 Lg Banana ~ Medium or Large
- 2 cups Water
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 2-3 Tbsp Hemp seeds to sprinkle over waffles before cooking.
Instructions
- Spray the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or lightly brush with olive oil.
- Heat waffle iron to medium-high.
- In a blender or food processor, add all ingredients except for hemp seeds.
- Puree ingredients well. You can't over-mix these.
- Let the mixture sit while the waffle iron heats up. I let the batter sit for about 3-5 minutes, but it's unnecessary.
- Pour 1 cup of batter onto hot waffle iron and sprinkle hemp seeds over top before closing.
- Cook for about 11-12 minutes; times may vary depending on the waffle iron. I have a very old standard one that works as great as the day I got it. (25 years ago)
- Remove the waffles with a fork and add your favorite toppings or let them cool on a wire rack.
Notes
Waffles will have a somewhat creamy texture to them on the inside and crunchy on the outside. After they reach room temperature, they get a soft, chewy texture.
