BANANA WALNUT BUTTERMILK WAFFLES
Soft, springy and moist, sweet with banana and with a crunch too. And almost as importantly- they're super easy to make. I developed this one over the weekend and I'd love to hear some feedback on it. If you're one of the millions of Americans who has a wedding-gift waffle iron sitting unused in a cabinet somewhere, you're going to kick yourself when you find out how EASY waffles are to make. I make mine most weekends and store the leftovers in the freezer... they heat in the toaster oven just like Eggo's do, but they're 100 times better than that Eggo garbage.

Steps:
- Preheat your waffle iron. Always do this first so your iron is good and hot by the time your batter is ready, and you'll have perfect waffles from start to finish.
- Measure all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk to blend well.
- In a large liquid measuring cup, measure the water up to the 1 2/3 cup mark, then pour the vegetable oil the rest of the way to the 2 cup mark. Add your eggs and blend well. Add the vanilla extract, mashed banana and walnut bits and stir again.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, and stir just enough to blend out the lumps. Don't over-stir.
- Brush your waffle iron plates with a little cooking oil. Pour a cup of batter onto the iron and close the lid. (You may need to use less than a cup, depending on the size of your iron of course.).
- I'm using my mother's 40 year old Sears waffle iron, which makes a 9.5 inch square waffle. I set the temperature to just a bit darker than medium and set a timer to count down two and a half minutes just as I'm pouring the batter on the iron. A cup of batter on my iron yields an 8-inch round, four-way-split waffle. That's just a guideline if you have a large waffle iron; so many shapes and sizes are available and the perfect waffle on your waffle iron will require some tinkering with amounts, settings and timing.
- If you can't find buttermilk powder, replace it with the same amount of flour and use milk instead of water as your main wet ingredient. The results won't be as elastic and springy, but it'll still be great. Of course you can always use real buttermilk, just remember to adjust the flour to make up for the lack of buttermilk powder. I've used leftover eggnog as the main liquid in this recipe and the resulting waffles were to DIE for -- and I despise eggnog!

Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your waffles will be.
- Measure your flour correctly: Too much flour can make your waffles dry and dense. Use a kitchen scale to measure your flour for the most accurate results.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your waffles tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Preheat your waffle iron: A preheated waffle iron will help your waffles cook evenly.
- Cook your waffles until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Serve your waffles immediately: Waffles are best served hot and fresh. Top them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Banana nut buttermilk waffles are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. They are perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a stack of fluffy, flavorful waffles that the whole family will love.
