Banana & Chocolate Chip Waffles
Serves about 8.
Prep time: >5 minutes
Cook time: 5 – 6 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 1/2 cup low-fat milk (I used 2%)
- 2 tablespoons light cream
- 1 medium banana, smashed
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 large eggs, room temperature and lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- whipped cream for garnish
- 2 – 4 tablespoons nutella*
*optional
Directions:
- Spray a waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray and preheat. (If your waffle maker has a setting, set to 3 – 4).
- Meanwhile, whisk the flour, salt and baking powder together. Make a well in the center and mix in the honey, milk, cream, smashed banana, applesauce, oil and eggs, stir to combine.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour 1/2 cup of the batter into the center of the waffle iron. Close lid and cook until green indicator lights up (or for about 3 – 4 minutes, or when waffle is golden brown). Carefully remove from waffle iron and set aside. Repeat with remaining batter until you have about 8 waffles.
- Top waffles with whipped cream and 1 tablespoon or so of nutella.
