These chocolate chip waffles have a double pop of chocolate and are sweetened with ripe bananas. Serve them for an indulgent breakfast or add them to the dessert menu.
Begin this recipe by whipping the eggs white with sugar. You’ll fold these into the combined dry ingredients. Doing so creates a fluffy chocolate chip waffle. If you’re too strapped for time, you can skip this step, but the resulting waffles won’t be quite as fluffy. (They’ll still have all the double chocolate-y goodness, though!)
Choose ripe bananas for this recipe. If you happen to have whole bananas in the freezer, it’s easy to thaw them out and squeeze the pulp into the batter. You won’t even need to mash them, since they’ll be plenty soft from being frozen.
Pour the batter into a greased waffle maker. They’ll be ready to eat in about 8 minutes or so.

These chocolate chip waffles would also work very (very!) well with a slab of vanilla ice cream sandwiched in the middle. DIY ice cream sandwiches!
