I’ve been on a low calorie diet since summer but I made
waffles with my boyfriend one morning as a celebration for losing 10 pounds. I
was also celebrating staying on my diet through Halloween…we don’t get trick or
treaters here but I was really tempted to still buy a bag of reeces pieces and
devour them! This recipe makes about 6 waffles (this might be off from what you
get because I have a tiny little waffle machine). There are different ways to
go about making this, but through some quick googling, I found that the best
way it so mush up the bananas rather than cooking them into the waffle as
slices. The walnut and jam is obviously optional (I just happened to have them
in stock). Feel free to make your own combinations with syrup or almonds or
other fresh fruit. Hope you find this as delicious as we did!
Ingredients:
1 and ¼ cups all purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Pinch of cinnamon
1 cup milk
1 egg
2 bananas
Sausage (optional)
Apricot jam (optional)
Walnuts (optional)
Recipe:
To begin, slice the bananas and place into a bowl. Mash them
up using a fork until it looks like baby food. In a large mixing bowl, add the
dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon) and
stir. Next, add the wet ingredients (milk and egg) and stir until there aren’t
any clumps. Finally, add the bananas!
If making the sausage, now is the time to add to a separate
pan and start to heat. Stir frequently.
Use a measuring cup to scoop out the dough onto the waffle
machine. For some reason, my waffles were getting soggy so I cranked up the
heat to the highest setting. Also once made, don’t stack the waffles, instead
spread them out on a paper towel which seemed to help with my soggy problem. Add
any combination of toppings such as maple or fruit syrup, jam, fresh fruit,
walnuts, almonds, etc.! Serve immediately with some hot tea or a glass of milk.
Enjoy!
