The werecub is still working on those last two molars, so one of his favorite snacks is a wedge of frozen waffle to gnaw on. We ran out, so Tuesday I decided to make some more and use up some very ripe bananas along the way. We used this recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/whole-wheat-banana-waffles-393187
They were good, if very floppy (they don't even freeze stiff). But we wanted more. So, I found a half a pint of unused whipping cream in the fridge. We whipped it with a tablespoon of "special dark" cocoa powder and some powdered sugar. We sliced more banana on top of the waffles and covered it all with the whipped cream.
Oh, my, such indulgence. We each ate one waffle that way and were full. So, now I have leftover whipped cream and ideas on how to use it. I think next time, we can make the whipped cream with xylitol instead of sugar and have something rich and sweet but even more healthy!
And I did have plenty of leftover waffles to freeze for the cub.
