Directions

Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Prepare the batter in a food processor fitted with a blade or a blender and pulse together the Frigo® Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese, milk, coconut oil, banana, eggs, peanut butter, brown sugar and vanilla extract until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, about 1 minute. Be sure to scrape down the sides in between the pulses.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the blender and pulse together until just combined, being careful not to overmix. At this time, pour in any additional add-ins and pulse until just incorporated.

Cook the waffles by spooning or pouring the batter into the hot waffle iron and cooking according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 2 to 3 minutes. (You will need about 2/3 cup of batter per waffle.) Remove each hot waffle from the waffle iron and top with your favorite toppings!

Optional:

Add-Ins: 2 tablespoons chia seeds, flaxseeds and/or nutritional yeast, ¼ cup chocolate chips, ¼ cup pumpkin puree or applesauce, ½ cup chopped fruit

Toppings: Ricotta blended together with honey, fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, maple syrup, honey, confectioners sugar, grated coconut

Rad Tip: To keep the waffles warm when making a big batch, place a baking rack on a baking sheet and arrange the cooked waffles in a single layer on it. Place them in a 200°F oven to keep them warm.
