Banana-Nut Waffle Cake
This indulgent breakfast-dessert contains some nutritional benefits. Bananas provide potassium, vitamin B6, and fiber. Walnuts offer omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and healthy fats. To make it healthier, use whole wheat flour for added fiber and nutrients. Greek yogurt can replace some cream cheese in the filling for added protein and less fat. Consider using sugar-free maple syrup or reducing the amount. While eggs provide protein and buttermilk adds calcium, this is a high-calorie dish best enjoyed for special occasions. To balance, serve with fresh fruit and consider sharing portions. The nuts add nutritional value but are calorie-dense, so portion mindfully.
