In small bowl, beat egg whites until they make soft peaks. Gently fold into batter.

Ladle 2/3 cup batter (or amount recommended by manufacturer's directions for your waffle iron) into waffle iron. Close lid and cook until waffles are golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Gently open lid and remove waffle with fork. Serve immediately or transfer to baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining batter, lightly coating iron with cooking spray each time.

While waffles cook, peel bananas and cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Transfer to medium bowl and toss with sugar and lemon juice. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Transfer bananas to skillet and cook, flipping occasionally, until heated through but still firm, 1 to 2 minutes. Top each serving of waffles with 1/3 cup bananas.

This recipe yields 12 (4-inch) squares.
