Paleo Protein Banana Waffles - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
    1/2 cup almond flour
    1/4 cup whey protein powder
    1/8 teaspoon baking powder
    1/8 teaspoon baking soda
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 cup mashed ripe banana
    1/4 cup milk
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    2 tablespoons dark (grade B) maple syrup (optional)
    2 eggs
    1 egg white
    1 very ripe banana, mashed
Preparation
    Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Grease waffle iron evenly.
    Place coconut into a blender and pulse several times; blend until coconut becomes a fine powder. Combine coconut, almond flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
    Mix together 1/2 cup mashed banana, milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup in a small bowl.
    Separate the whites from the yolks of the 2 eggs; transfer all 3 egg whites to a metal bowl. Mix 2 egg yolks into the banana mixture. Beat egg whites until foamy using an electric mixer, beating until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
    Pour banana mixture into almond flour mixture and stir until combined. Mix in 1/3 of the egg white mixture until combined; gently fold in remaining 2/3 egg white mixture, preserving as much volume as possible.
    Ladle batter into preheated waffle iron in the amount recommended by manufacturer. Close lid and cook waffle until golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Top waffles with remaining 1 mashed banana.
