The unique feature of this recipe is that it is sweetened by nature.  The banana was the only source of sweetness.  Amazingly, this was a first for me!  I was making up this recipe and I had Xylitol in front of me ready to be mixed in the bowl but then I held back.  I thought maybe if I use more banana it will be fine.  The added benefit (beside more nutrients) was that it bulked up the recipe from 2-3 waffles to 8 waffles.  I used a whole medium banana which equals 23.85 net carbs according to fatsecret.com.  Remember that is divided by 8 waffles.  The banana only adds 2.98 net carbs each.  The flax seed is 0 net carbs. 

To me the Banana Waffle tastes like a light fluffy banana muffin.  I love it!
