- 1 large banana ripe, about 4.3 oz (120 g)
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup (60 g) Greek yogurt at least 2% fat
- 1 cup (100 g) rolled oats replace with oat flour or preferred flour
- 1 to 2 tbsp maple syrup optional, to taste (see notes*)
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- a pinch of salt
Instructions
Add all ingredients to a high speed blender or to a food processor and blend until you get a smooth batter. Do not overmix.If using oat flour. In a large mixing bowl, mash the banana. Add eggs, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, maple syrup and a pinch of salt. Beat the banana egg mixture until it is smooth and lump-free. Stir in flour with baking powder, and mix until combined. Do not overmix. Let the batter rest for at least 5 minutes while preheating the waffle machine.
Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or with a small amount of melted butter or oil.
Pour a couple tablespoons of batter into waffle grids, spreading it evenly. Close the grids and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 3-5 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.
Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes and serve with your favorite toppings.
