Banana Bread Waffles
A thick, hearty whole wheat waffle inspired by my favorite banana bread. These are great plain, but even better when loaded with toppings like chocolate chunks, walnuts, and Greek yogurt (or whipped cream!!).
Ingredients
- 2 very ripe bananas
- 1 egg
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 1/4 cup milk of choice coconut, almond, cow's-they all work here
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour can sub all-purpose, if desired
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- topping ideas: walnuts sliced banana, chopped dark chocolate, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, whipped cream, etc.
Instructions
- 1. Plug in and heat up your waffle iron. If yours has a heat setting, choose medium-high heat.
- 2. Mash bananas in a mixing bowl. Add egg, maple syrup, oil, milk and vanilla, and mix well. Add all remaining ingredients, and stir just to combine. Batter will be thick.
- 3. Grease waffle iron, and scoop in half the batter. Repeat with remaining batter.
- 4. Eat waffles immediately with toppings of choice. Waffles keep at room temperature for several days, and can be reheated in a toaster before eating.
Notes
This recipe yields 2 8-inch Belgian waffles. Depending on how hungry you are and what else you're having with the waffles, this could serve 2-4 people. Double the recipe if making breakfast for a crowd.
