Have you ever found yourself staring at a bunch of overripe bananas, thinking, “What now?” Well, here’s a sweet twist of fate—banana blueberry waffles! Just three ingredients, a waffle iron, and you’re in breakfast heaven. It’s like a cozy Saturday morning, wrapped up in a warm blanket of maple syrup.
Steps
- Begin by preheating your waffle iron and apply a light coat of nonstick cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, crack the egg and add the banana slices. Mash the banana well and mix it thoroughly with the egg.
- Add the blueberries into the banana-egg mixture and stir until evenly combined.
- Pour the mixture into the preheated waffle iron, then close the lid. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes.
- After cooking, turn off the heat and let the waffle sit in the iron for a short while to firm up, making it easier to remove.
- Use a knife to gently loosen the edges and carefully remove one triangle of waffle at a time.
- Serve the waffles plain or with your choice of butter, syrup, or other toppings.
