National Waffle Day was yesterday, but we think there is still cause to celebrate with this deliciously wonderful recipe for banana-cinnamon waffles. Because not only is National Waffle Day an incredible reason to try this recipe, it is also Banana Lovers Day on August 27. The combination of warm fluffy waffles and bananas is a breakfast made in heaven.

• 1 1/2 cups fat-free milk
