Bananas gone bad. Next to over-ripe avocados, it’s the worst fruit fiasco your kitchen could face. Okay, that may be an exaggeration, but regardless, it’s an issue that needs a solution. So here it is: Banana Nut Protein Waffles. They’re fluffy like the classic muffin, yet somehow sweeter and more nutritious. The nutritious part is primarily due to the nutty flavored brown rice protein powder. The sweeter side comes from those browning bananas. Combine the two (and a few other ingredients), and all of your problems are solved.
