I’m partnering with Bob’s Red Mill® to bring you today’s recipe! I absolutely love all of their products, especially their flours, and use them every day. Bob’s Red Mill products are so perfect for baking!
A few weeks ago, one of my close friends from high school drove to Southern California for a vacation. As a teacher, her school actually scheduled two weeks for their spring break, so my friend planned on visiting her younger brother, a roommate from college, and me during her trip.
When she showed up at my house, we decided to drive to Coronado for the afternoon. Because of the scattered clouds, we packed both sunglasses and light jackets, and when we arrived at the beach, we spread out a couple of beach towels on the expansive sand.
As we watched the waves gently lap against the shore and a handful of kids excitedly running in and out of the freezing water, we talked… and talked… and talked. Over a year and a half had gone by since we last saw each other, so we had lots of catching up to do!
During part of our four hours at the beach, our conversation eventually wound up on the topic of food. Not too surprising, knowing me… And since my friend worked in a bakery for many years before earning her teaching credential, she knows and enjoys talking about sweets almost as much as I do!
As she explained some of her newfound sensitivities, she shared that she had started eating a special variety of waffles for breakfast almost every day. She often topped them with freshly sliced bananas, strawberries, and a dollop of almond butter before dashing off to teach her TK students.
For the next few days, I couldn’t shake that fruit and waffles idea out of my head, especially the part about bananas. So when I spotted two exceptionally ripe bananas hiding behind the bright yellow ones I recently bought on my counter, I knew exactly what to do…
I whipped up a batch of these Healthy Banana Waffles! They’re crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and the bright banana flavor shines through in every bite.
These healthy banana waffles also contain no refined flour or sugar, and they’re great for meal prepping or quick weekday breakfasts (just like the store-bought ones my friend was eating!). Yet these are just 105 calories!
