I absolutely love bananas. Seriously! I eat at least 2 every day. I especially enjoy them with peanut butter, dark chocolate or nuts. I even put bananas on my granola, oatmeal, pancakes and ice cream.
These waffles are:
Fluffy
Crunchy
Sweet
Great with maple syrup
I tried them with some chocolate chips on top and that was to die for!
These delicious waffles were inspired by my favorite treat as a little girl, banana nut muffins. Little did I know how terrible they were for me. These waffles are so much healthier and taste even better!
Enjoy.
