Vegan coconut chocolate banana waffles

Vegan coconut chocolate banana waffles, originally uploaded by jessicafm.

2nd try is a charm? Well they could be more golden brown, but these were pretty tasty. Based on the Waffle I recipe from The Joy of Vegan Baking by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau.

Ingredients
3 TB ground flax seed
1/2 C water
6 TB nondairy butter, melted
1-1/2 C coconut milk
1-3/4 C all-purpose flour
1 TB baking powder
1 TB granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
Dash of cinnamon
Splash of pure vanilla extract
1 small banana, diced
1/4 C vegan chocolate chips

PREHEAT YOUR WAFFLE IRON

In a food processor or blender, whip the flax seed and water together until it is thick and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the butter, coconut milk and vanilla extract and whip for another minute.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid ingredients. Stir until just combined. Fold in the banana and chocolate chips.

Spoon 1/2 cup batter onto the hot iron. Cook as you would any waffles.
