I am really happy with how these waffles came out. They were quick. They were easy. They were tasty. The Kidlet liked them. They came out fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. And they're even relatively healthy as waffles go. They're whole grain (oats) with no added sugar or fat. The banana is the main source of sugars and most of the fat is in the eggs.
If you top these with some nut butter and fresh fruit, you're actually looking at a pretty decent breakfast nutritionally speaking (and a delicious one gastronomically)!
Banana-Oat Waffles
Slightly adapted from Kim's Cravings

- 2 large eggs
- 1 ripe banana

Variations

1 My waffle iron goes up to six. I normally set it to three-and-a-half for waffles. I cooked these ones on four. I'm not sure what that translates to in actual temperatures, but hopefully that gives an idea of where you should be aiming. If you normally cook your waffles on the highest setting, then just leave them in the waffle iron for an extra 30-60 seconds to help them crisp up a bit more. You can also try putting them into an oven preheated to around 95°C (200°F) for a few minutes. Use whatever method works best for you. Back
