We loved these! Made half a recipe since we don't have many mouths to feed here. Modifications: Added a splash of lemon juice for brighter flavor and less banana-browning. Used coconut milk beverage because of milk allergies, reduced nutmeg to a shake or two and added cinnamon. I made the recipe for waffles the first time (loved them) and for pancakes. When I made pancakes, I made the above modifications plus added half an apple, finely chopped, and substituted apple sauce for the oil. Delicious!

Very good, light waffles! I made mine healthier by subbing natural applesauce for the oil with no problems. Next time, I'll add some cinnamon and cut down to a shake or two of nutmeg, which seemed a bit overpowering. Thanks SarahBee for posting this!

Tasty with crisp edges - made fluffy-textured waffles. Thank you for sharing.
