Instructions
Step 1
Start by **peeling and mashing** the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth. You can use a fork or potato masher to achieve this consistency.
Next, add the **eggs**, **vanilla extract**, and **almond milk** to the bowl. Whisk everything together until well combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine the **whole wheat flour**, **baking powder**, **salt**, and **cinnamon**. Make sure to **mix thoroughly** to ensure an even distribution of the dry ingredients.
Step 3
Gradually pour the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients. **Stir gently** until just incorporated. Do not overmix; small lumps are okay.
Step 4
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once heated, **lightly spray** it with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron and **close the lid**. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. This should take about 3-5 minutes depending on your specific waffle iron.
Step 5
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and **serve immediately**. Top your waffles with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, maple syrup, or yogurt.

Equipment
A good waffle maker will provide even cooking and golden-brown waffles. Make sure it's preheated before pouring in the batter for best results.
A large mixing bowl is essential for combining ingredients smoothly. Use a wooden spoon or a whisk to blend your batter without lumps.



Accurate measurements are crucial in pastry-making. Use high-quality measuring tools for precise amounts of flour and other ingredients.



A silicone spatula is perfect for scraping the sides of your bowl and pouring the batter into your waffle maker.



Variations
If you're looking for gluten-free options, simply swap out the flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend. 🥜🌾
For a vegan twist, use plant-based milk instead of dairy milk and substitute eggs with mashed flaxseed (1 tablespoon flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water equals one egg). These simple swaps will keep the waffles delicious while meeting dietary needs! 🌱💚
