Instructions
-
Preheat the Waffle Iron
Start by preheating your waffle iron, ensuring it’s hot and ready for cooking. -
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. -
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. -
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.

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. -
Enjoy!

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.
