45g of rolled oats

100g of almond flour

1 overripe banana

60g of coarsely chopped walnuts or almonds

240ml of skimmed milk (feel free to substitute your preferred milk)

3 eggs, separated

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and spray it with nonstick spray.

2. While your waffle iron is heating, whisk together in a large bowl the rolled oats, almond flour, chopped nuts, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.

3. In a separate bowl, mash the banana and beat together with the milk, vanilla, and egg yolks. Fold the whisked together dry ingredients into this bowl and set aside.

4. With an electric mixer, beat the three egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter, being careful not to over mix and deflate the egg whites.

5. Pour batter into your waffle maker and cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions. The waffles should be lightly golden and lift out cleanly. Be sure to spray more nonstick spray in between each batch of waffles.

6. Serve warm. Leftover waffles may be frozen and reheated in a toaster.
