Waffles with maple matcha butter

I’ve not had waffles in a long time and these were SO GOOD. Get your hands on some Jenki matcha. It has a depth to it that a lot of other matcha’s don’t have. It really is the best.

Recipe

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.

Notes + Variations:

*If you don’t have oat flour, just blend oats until you have a powder.
