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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth.

Step 3

Add the egg whites and almond milk to the mashed banana. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla protein powder, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.

Step 5

Lightly coat the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Pour a portion of the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Be careful not to overfill as the batter will expand.

Step 7

Close the waffle iron and cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffles with a fork and place them on a plate.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring to coat the waffle iron with non-stick spray between each batch.

Step 10

Serve hot with your choice of low-fat toppings such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
