Yummy Banana Waffles Recipe

Image
Ingredients 1-1/3 cups Almond Milk Maple Syrup 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil 2 cups Bisquick Healthy Heart mix 1-2 ripe Bananas Instructions Let the almond milk rest on the counter for 10 to 15 minutes before combining with Bisquick. Mix in the coconut oil and mashed banana. Use one to two bananas depending on their size and how much natural banana flavor you would like them to have. Grease the waffle iron with coconut oil and turn to medium. Cook until the indicator tells you they should be done. Enjoy right away topped with fresh slices of banana, coconut oil, pure maple syrup or cinnamon. Or save for later-they are great cold! if your bananas aren’t quite ripe enough you can peel them and put them in the microwave for a few seconds. That will simulate the aging process and give you great banana flavor. Top with Maple Syrup.
