It’s perfect for breakfast or even a fun snack. Plus, it’s made with wholesome ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.
Let’s make waffles that feel like dessert but are actually healthy enough for breakfast!
👩🍳 Method
Mash the Banana
Start by peeling your ripe banana and placing it into a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash it well until it becomes smooth and creamy. This step is important because a smooth banana gives the waffles a nice texture and natural sweetness. Make sure there are no big lumps left.
Add the Other Ingredients
Once your banana is mashed, it’s time to add the rest of the ingredients. Crack one egg into the bowl, then pour in one tablespoon of maple syrup. Add one tablespoon of cacao powder, two tablespoons of oat flour, and 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder. These ingredients help create the chocolate flavor, thickness, and fluffiness of your waffle.
Mix the Batter
Now, grab a fork or a whisk and mix everything together. Stir it well so that all the ingredients are combined into a smooth batter. It’s okay if it takes a minute or two this step helps make sure there are no dry spots or clumps of flour or cacao left. The batter should be thick but easy to pour.
Prepare the Waffle Maker
Before you pour in the batter, spray a little oil on the waffle maker. This helps stop the waffle from sticking to the surface. If you forget this step, your waffle might break apart when you try to take it out so don’t skip it!
Cook the Waffle
Pour your batter into the center of the waffle maker. Don’t fill it too full just enough to cover the lower plate evenly. Close the lid gently and let it cook for about 4–5 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the bottom of the waffle lifts up easily. If it still feels sticky, close the lid and let it cook for another minute.
Remove and Serve
Once your waffle is cooked, use a fork or spatula to gently lift it out of the waffle maker. Be careful it will be hot! Now you can place it on a plate and get ready to add your favorite toppings. Whether you like yogurt, fruit, or melted chocolate, this is your time to be creative.
