Mix in milk, oil and egg yolks until mixture is smooth. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into batter. (if you want fluffy waffles do this part!!)
2. Spray preheated waffle iron generously with non-stick cooking spray. Pour mix onto hot waffle iron and cook until golden; serve hot.

Eggless Banana Bread

So when my youngest was first born he was allergic to eggs and milk. I had to figure out how to bake without eggs. That's where this banana recipe came from. I actually think it is moister without the eggs!


Eggless Banana Bread
Ingredients:

• 8 Tbs (one stick) softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 large banana, mashed
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, grease 9x5x3" bread pan.

2. Cream butter & sugar until light and fluffy. Add first large mashed banana, beating well after adding.

3. Sift all purpose flour, baking soda and salt together. Stir in whole wheat flour and add to creamed mixture, mixing well.

4. Fold in bananas and vanilla extract.

5. Pour misture into pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Makes one loaf.

You can also add walnuts if you like but I hate nuts in baked good so I never add them. They'd be added at the end when you fold in the bananas. Also I don't own a sifter. You think I would because I love to bake. I simply use a whisk to mix it together and have never had a problem.
