Monday Munchies: Banana Flax Waffles

I am starting to think I should be searching for a contract to produce a flax cookbook.  It seems like nearly every recipe I share here includes the ingredient.  I think it’s mostly because it’s an easy, healthy, add-in that doesn’t ruin the flavor.  We had these waffles on Friday morning and Bo missed out because he was up during the night and then didn’t wake up until late.  This recipe makes enough waffles for me to freeze and toast later, so he’ll enjoy some waffley goodness this week.  Honestly, I think they taste even better toasted.

Banana Flax Waffles

• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 3 tsp. baking powder
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 2 Tbsp ground flax
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups Buttermilk (or use the milk you have on hand and add 2 Tbsp. white vinegar to it)
• 1/3 cup oil
• 1 banana, mashed
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Stir together eggs, buttermilk, oil, mashed banana, and vanilla.  Add dry ingredients and stir together – do not overmix.  Add mini chocolate chips if desired.  Cook on a waffle iron.  Great frozen and toasted!
