A delightful twist on classic waffles, combining the richness of chocolate with the natural sweetness of bananas.
Combine the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Sift the dry ingredients together to ensure a lump-free batter.
In another bowl, mash the bananas and mix in the milk, eggs, and canola oil until smooth.
Use a fork to mash the bananas thoroughly for a smoother batter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
Preheat the waffle iron and lightly grease it. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto the iron and cook until crispy.
Cook the waffles until steam stops escaping from the waffle iron for a crispy texture.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit or syrup.
For a gourmet touch, dust the waffles with powdered sugar before serving.
