Whole Wheat Banana Waffles

Whole Wheat Banana Waffles

These are very filling, and very good.  My family loves them, and we have them about once a week since we have strawberries in our city.  The bananas in the batter will make these waffles a little on the darker side.

1 ½ c. whole wheat flour

½ c. all purpose flour

1 Tbsp. baking powder

¼ tsp. salt

2 tsp. ground cinnamon

2 eggs

1 ½ c. milk

¼ c. applesauce (I make my own by peeling and chopping an apple, then place it in a pan and cover the bottom with water.  Let it boil, then simmer til the liquid is evaporated.  Mash with fork.)

3 Tbsp. sugar

1Tbsp. vegetable oil

1 tsp. vanilla

2 ripe bananas, mashed

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.  Mix all other ingredients in separate bowl.  Mix wet ingredients into dry just until incorporated.

Cook waffles according to waffle iron instructions.  Top with fresh fruit, syrup, peanut butter, powdered sugar…we’ve done it all.

My waffle iron makes two square waffles at a time, and this recipe will make 10-12 waffle squares.  The best thing is you can freeze leftovers and then pop them in the toaster when you want one.
