Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Banana Mixture

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

Mix Together Dry Ingredients

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

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

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 and Cook Waffles

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

Serve and Enjoy

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.

Enjoy your delicious and healthy banana waffles for breakfast!

Servings

Once your waffles are cooked to perfection, it's time to get creative with how you serve them! Drizzle with honey or maple syrup for that classic taste. Add a dollop of yogurt or whipped cream for extra indulgence. 🍯✨

For a fun twist, top your waffles with fresh fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or sliced bananas. 🍓🍌 Not only do they add an amazing flavor, but they also make your breakfast look delightful! If you’re feeling a bit adventurous, sprinkle on some nuts or chocolate chips for an extra crunchy texture. 🍫🥜

These banana waffles can also be served as a fun brunch option. Consider pairing them with a refreshing fruit salad or a smoothie for a complete meal. Perfect for gatherings or a cozy family breakfast!

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! 🌱💚

Faq
