Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 1 cup Mashed ripe banana
- 1 cup Milk (any type)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
- Maple syrup or honey (optional, for serving)
- Fresh banana slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder until well combined.
In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly. Add the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the wet ingredients are smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter may be slightly lumpy.
If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or brush with a little melted butter.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron (adjust based on the size of your waffle maker) and close the lid.
Cook the waffles for 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm, topped with maple syrup, honey, or fresh banana slices if desired.
