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)
• 0 Maple syrup or honey (optional, for serving)
• 0 Fresh banana slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder until well combined.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 6

Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or brush with a little melted butter.

Step 7

Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron (adjust based on the size of your waffle maker) and close the lid.

Step 8

Cook the waffles for 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve the waffles warm, topped with maple syrup, honey, or fresh banana slices if desired.
