2. Prepare the Waffle Batter
   In a large bowl, beat your chosen egg or flaxmeal egg replacer until fluffy. Add in the milk, sunflower oil, sugar, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Slowly stir in the whole wheat flour and combine until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

3. Cook the Waffles
   Lightly grease the waffle iron with oil. Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Cook the waffles until golden brown and crisp, usually about 5 minutes, or as directed by your waffle iron’s instructions. Once done, remove the waffles and set them aside.

4. Caramelize the Bananas
   While the waffles are cooking, place a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter to the pan, letting it melt and sizzle for a few seconds. Once the butter is hot, add the banana slices in a single layer.

   Allow the bananas to brown on one side without stirring, approximately 30 seconds. Once they’ve browned, use a spatula to turn the bananas over. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon powder over the bananas. Shake the pan gently to ensure the bananas are coated with the sugar and cinnamon. Continue cooking for about one more minute, until the sugar is melted and the bananas are caramelised, but still firm and intact.

5. Serve
   To serve, place your golden whole wheat waffles on a platter. Spoon the warm caramelised bananas generously over the waffles. For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle with maple syrup or honey.

6. Enjoy!
   Enjoy your delicious Whole Wheat Waffles with Caramelised Bananas as a nourishing and flavorful breakfast. Perfect for starting the day on a sweet note while providing the benefits of whole grains and fresh fruit.

Notes:

• Eggless Option: If you prefer an eggless version, simply use the flaxmeal egg replacer (1 tablespoon flaxmeal mixed with 3 tablespoons water) in place of the egg.
• Sweeteners: You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar according to your taste. If you’re looking for a healthier alternative, you can use maple syrup in place of brown sugar when caramelizing the bananas.
• Serving Suggestions: Pair with a side of fresh fruit or a dollop of yogurt to make your breakfast even more satisfying.

This recipe brings together the wholesome goodness of whole wheat with the decadent sweetness of caramelised bananas, creating a breakfast that is both nourishing and indulgent. Perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a special brunch, these waffles are sure to be a hit with family and friends!
