Brown Sugar Banana Waffles

I have never met a waffle that I didn't like. In my opinion, you can never have too many different flavors of waffles. I make the big, thick Belgian waffles, but they can be made with any waffle maker. Just adjust the amount of batter you use for each one.

You will need a waffle baker or iron, preheated if it's a baker.

Ingredients:

1-1/4 cups flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk OR sour milk
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large banana, sliced in 1/4" pieces
1/4 cup(1/2 stick) melted butter

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Set aside.
In another bowl mix the eggs, vanilla extract, buttermilk, and brown sugar.
Combine the cornmeal mix and the egg mixture. Don't beat too much. Just stir in.
Add the butter and banana pieces.
Add about a cup of batter to your preheated Belgium waffle baker. If you have a different size baker OR iron go by manufacturer's instruction on how much batter to use.
Bake your waffle 3-5 minutes until the waffles are browned and crispy OR as done as you would like.

Serve with maple syrup and/or butter.

Makes 4 Belgian waffles OR up to 8 regular size waffles.

Enjoy!

Last year's W- Whole Wheat Waffles

Whole Wheat Waffles

Waffles are so yummy! These are a whole wheat version and they are awesome!

You will need a waffle baker.
I have a Belgian waffle baker and the waffles are big with deep pockets.
If you have a smaller one, you may need to adjust the amount of batter you use per waffle.

Preheat your waffle baker

Ingredients:
2 eggs
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup butter, melted
1-3/4 cup milk
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy.
Add the rest of the ingredients and beat until fairly smooth.
If you have some lumps, that's fine.
Pour 1 cup batter onto the center of the waffle baker and cook for about 3-1/2 minutes or until the waffle maker signals that the waffle is done.

You will get  4  Belgian waffles.

Serve with your choice of toppings.
