Best Banana Waffles

This small-batch banana waffle blends quick oats, banana, almond milk, egg, cinnamon, vanilla, and baking powder into a simple batter. Letting the blended mixture stand for five minutes gives the oats time to absorb some liquid before it goes into the waffle maker. The original serving suggestion adds fruit, sugar-free syrup, and a light dusting of powdered sweetener.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup quick oats
• 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 beaten egg
• 1/2 banana
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Optional Toppings from the Original Recipe

• Keto sugar-free syrup
• Strawberries
• Banana
• 1/8 teaspoon Swerve powdered sweetener

Instructions

1. Beat one egg until the white and yolk are evenly combined, then measure half of it for the recipe. Add that half egg, the oats, almond milk, vanilla, banana, cinnamon, and baking powder to a blender. Refrigerate the unused raw egg promptly and use it in another fully cooked dish.
2. Blend thoroughly until the oats are broken down and the batter looks evenly combined.
3. Let the batter stand for five minutes to thicken.
4. Preheat the waffle maker according to its manufacturer’s directions. Add the batter and cook until the waffle is set and releases cleanly.
5. Serve warm with any desired toppings.

Waffle-Maker Tips

Waffle makers vary in size and heat level, so the original recipe does not provide a universal cooking time or yield. Avoid filling the plates beyond the amount recommended for your machine. Waiting until the waffle is set before lifting the lid helps prevent it from splitting.

The five-minute rest is useful because oat-based batter thickens as it sits. If you prepare the batter before the waffle iron is hot, wait to judge its texture until the full rest has passed. Toppings are optional and should be measured separately if you track them.

WW Points Note

The original post described the waffles as three points, but values can vary with banana size, almond milk, the amount represented by half an egg, toppings, portion size, and the current WW program.
