Instructions

• Make the syrup by combining all the syrup ingredients together in a small bowl. Add enough water until the desired consistency is reached and set aside.
• Meanwhile, preheat the waffle maker.
• Add the buckwheat flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt, to a medium sized bowl and stir to combine. Now add the milk, applesauce and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
• Pour the waffle batter into the center of the warm waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes (or according to your waffle maker’s instructions).
• Gently remove the waffles from the iron, top with sliced bananas and drizzle over the maple nut butter syrup.
• Leftover waffles can be stored in the refrigerator for 4-5 days and reheated in the toaster or a warm oven.
