Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe banana
- 2 large egg whites
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.75 cup vanilla protein powder
- 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth.
Add the egg whites and almond milk to the mashed banana. Whisk until well combined.
Stir in the vanilla protein powder, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
Lightly coat the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour a portion of the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Be careful not to overfill as the batter will expand.
Close the waffle iron and cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.
Carefully remove the waffles with a fork and place them on a plate.
Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring to coat the waffle iron with non-stick spray between each batch.
Serve hot with your choice of low-fat toppings such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
