Step-by-Step Instructions (super easy)
- Preheat: Start by turning on your waffle griddle and set to 350 degrees fahrenheit
- Combine: For the base add in all the ingredients (Banana, egg, oats, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, salt) and blend on high speed for 35 seconds. (for the best texture don’t over blend)
- Cook: Grease your griddle (butter or no cal cooking spray) and pour your batter evenly onto the griddle and let it cook for 5-10mins depending on how done you like your waffle (for me 7 mins does the job! This also depends on the waffle griddle you use)
- Toppings: Add on whatever toppings you want and enjoy!
The pictures above show my step-by-step process. I added spinach to this recipe. Greate way to get in your greens and I can’t taste it at all. For my topping I went with 20g of peanut butter and 10g of raw honey.
