Banana Bread Waffles

by

I stole this recipe for Banana Bread Waffles from todayscreativeideas.com who stole it from ihearteating.com. These yummy waffles taste just like banana bread! Brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg are mixed with flour, baking powder and baking soda. Then buttermilk, vanilla, mashed bananas and melted butter are mixed in next. Chopped pecans are folded in last. The batter is poured into a sprayed waffle maker and cooked until golden and fluffy.

August 24th is National Waffle Day and you can celebrate by making Banana Bread Waffles, Fluffy Waffle Recipe, Egg & Cheese Hash Brown Waffles or Cinnamon Roll Waffles with Cream Cheese Glaze (to see more Food Holidays see the National Food Holidays category or look at the Food Holiday Calendar).

“A waffle is like a pancake with a syrup trap.” – Mitch Hedberg, Comedian (see more quotes in the Quotes tab)

For this recipe you will need: 2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, ¼ tsp salt, ⅓ cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp nutmeg, 1 ½ cups low-fat buttermilk, 1 tbsp vanilla, bananas, 2 tbsp melted butter and 6 sugar cubes.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; set aside.

Mash 2-3 ripe bananas to get 1 measured cup, set aside.

Then in a separate bowl bowl, stir together the buttermilk, vanilla, bananas and melted butter.

Next, make a well in the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients.

I fold in ¼ cup finely chopped pecans to batter, so the waffles taste more like banana bread.

Then spray waffle iron with non-stick spray and add batter. Sprinkle waffle with pearl sugar or broken sugar cubes.

Cook waffle until golden brown about 5 minutes total.

Serve warm with syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream or any topping you like.
