I was really craving waffles, specifically chocolate waffles with bananas that would also be relatively healthy…and I think I succeeded!
These waffles are made with raw cacao powder which is my go-to healthy alternative to when I’m needing a little chocolate flavor in my life. I also used smashed up bananas in the waffle batter itself as well as topping with sliced bananas!
