My older brother always tells me that I never share my food when I make pancakes or waffles. I hadn’t really thought about it, but the only times I make pancakes or waffles are when I eat them myself as a meal. This time though, I made these peanut butter banana chocolate chunk protein waffles for him.
I was going to just make these peanut butter banana waffles, but I decided to add some chocolate chips because you can never go wrong with chocolate chips in waffles. I really love banana bread, and these waffles smelled and tasted just like banana bread.
To make the waffles peanut butter flavored I just used vanilla protein powder and then added peanut flour as well. It is basically defatted peanuts so it still gives the delicious peanut butter flavor but without the fat.
I topped the waffles with a thick peanut butter Greek yogurt cream. I used plain nonfat Greek yogurt, natural peanut butter, maple syrup and stevia. You can always use peanut flour and sugar free maple syrup if you want to make it less calories.
I will definitely be making this exact recipe for myself some time soon!
