Banana Waffles
Better Homes and Gardens New Dieter’s Cookbook Copyright 2003

nonstick cooking spray
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour I used 1 cup AP flour and 3/4 cup ww flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ cups fat-free milk
2/3 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 medium)
1 slightly beaten egg
2 tablespoons cooking oil

1. Lightly coat the grids of a waffle baked with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat waffle baker according to manufacturer’s directions. Meanwhile, in a large bowl stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon; set aside. In a medium bowl stir together the milk, mashed bananas, egg, and oil. Add to flour mixture and stir until combined (batter should be slightly lumpy).
2. Pour about 1 cup of the batter onto grids of the prepared waffle baker. Bake and serve.

Makes 6 servings.

First of all, excuse the blurry picture but it's hard to take an enticing picture of a waffle anyway. Second of all, why did I wait so long to get a waffle iron? Turns out that my husband really likes waffles. I haven't had any waffles go to waste so far.

Not having a waffle iron for so long, I've been passing right by waffle recipes. I'm having a hard time finding them in my cookbook collection, especially 'healthy' ones. I modified this one a bit and substituted some whole wheat flour for some of the all-purpose and it worked out really well. I'm still having trouble adding the right amount of batter to the iron as you can see (these should be square).
