Instructions
Step 1
Begin by washing and cutting the zucchini into smaller pieces for easier blending. In a blender, combine **250 grams of zucchini** and **70 grams of banana**. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine **60 grams of green buckwheat flour** and **40 grams of rice flour**. Add **1 teaspoon of baking powder** to the mixture along with your chosen spices, which can include **cinnamon**, **ginger**, and **cardamom**. Stir these ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.
Step 3
To the zucchini and banana mixture in the blender, add **1 egg**. Then, pour in the combined dry ingredients. Blend or stir the mixture until smooth and uniform. If the surface of your waffle maker is old, consider adding a bit more flour to ensure crispiness.
Step 4
Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Pour the batter into the preheated waffle maker and cook until golden brown and crispy. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes depending on your waffle maker.
Step 5
Once cooked, carefully remove the zucchini waffles from the waffle maker. Serve them hot with your favorite toppings. These waffles pair wonderfully with fresh fruits or a drizzle of maple syrup for a delicious breakfast or snack!

Equipment
A good-quality blender is essential for achieving a smooth batter. Ensure it’s powerful enough to blend fibrous vegetables like zucchini. If you don’t have a high-speed option, blend in small batches to avoid overflow!

For perfectly cooked waffles, a non-stick waffle maker works best. If yours is older, consider oiling it lightly before pouring in the batter to avoid sticking. Remember to preheat the waffle maker for a crispy exterior!
