Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork.
  3. Add the milk, egg, melted coconut oil, and alcohol-free vanilla extract to the mashed banana and whisk until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it if necessary.
  6. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron (or according to your waffle iron’s instructions).
  7. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra protein, add a scoop of protein powder to the batter.
  • If you don’t have whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour can be used as a substitute.
  • Any type of milk can be used, including dairy-free options like almond or soy milk.
  • Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a toaster or oven.
