Waffles with maple matcha butter

Ingredients

THE WAFFLES

• 3 heaped tbsp oat flour*
• 1 egg
• 1/2 banana
• Splash milk
• 1/6th tsp bicarbonate of soda
• Pinch of salt

THE MATCHA BUTTER

• 2 tbsp softened butter
• 1/4 tsp matcha
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla or 1/6th tsp vanilla beans from a pod
• Maldon salt

Method

1. Preheat and grease your waffle iron.
2. Make sure you have some softened butter ready to use - if you don’t, microwave 2 tbsp butter for 5 seconds and mix with a whisk until whippable.
3. Add your matcha to the butter and whip well until there are no lumps, and you have a consistent colour.
4. Whip through your maple syrup and vanilla, and add a pinch of salt.
5. Once your butter is ready, set aside - if it’s gone a bit too warm, refrigerate whilst you make your waffles.
6. Add everything to a blender and blend until you have a smooth batter.
7. Pour into your greased waffle maker - this should make 2-3 waffles.
8. Cook for 5-8 minutes, then trim the edges off the waffles so they’re neat.
9. Plate up, then top with a spoon of your butter, a drizzle of maple syrup, and some matcha and salt to top. You can also make these in big batches and heat them up, for an easy meal-prepped breakfast.
