Banana Oatmeal Waffles

Close Window

For a great treat before or after a workout try these delicious homemade waffles.  Full of fiber and packed with protein, these waffles keep you full and satisfied for hours!  If you don’t have a waffle maker go ahead and make pancakes out of the batter instead.  My former nutrition intern, Kelly Karstald, helped me develop this recipe. Thanks Kelly!
