Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium banana
2 tablespoons light oil, such as canola or vegetable
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/3 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the banana and use a fork to mash very well.
  • Add the oil and eggs, and beat to combine well.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon to the bowl, and stir until just combined.
  • Add the milk and stir until just combined.
  • Make the waffles according to the directions that came with your waffle iron.
  • When one waffle is done, let it rest on a wire wrack, taking care not to stack the waffles (the steam they produce makes them soggy if you stack them on a plate).
  • Serve hot with your favorite toppings such a maple syrup, buttermilk syrup, sliced bananas, pecans, whipped cream, or even chocolate sauce, Nutella, or peanut butter on top.

BANANA WAFFLES WITH TOASTED PECANS



Banana Waffles With Toasted Pecans image

This recipe is like a cross between crisp waffles and warm banana bread. I like my waffles crispy and the amount of butter in this batter gives these wonderful waffles a nice crisp. Beverage Recommendation: The toasted pecans and the sweet waffles pair nicely with a frothy cafe con leche (steamed milk added to a shot of espresso) or a mug of your favorite java.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h

Yield 16 4" Waffles

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup pecans, lightly toasted (see Step One in directions below)
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups milk
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs, separated
2 large ripe bananas, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 small banana, sliced into discs for topping
maple syrup, warmed for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° and preheat waffle iron.
  • Place pecans in a pie plate or on a baking sheet and spread out so that they are not touching. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly toasted and golden. Remove from oven and let cool. Coarsely chop and set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 225°.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, mix milk, melted butter and egg yolks. Slowly stir the liquid into the dry ingredients until JUST moistened - lumps are okay. Fold the 1/2" banana pieces into the batter.
  • In a clean bowl with a hand mixer, beat or whisk the egg whites at medium speed until frothy. Increase the speed to high and beat or whisk until firm peaks form and hold their shape. Sprinkle both sugars in bowl and beat or whisk until the whites are stiff and glossy. Fold the whites into the batter until no streaks remain.
  • Oil, spray or butter the waffle iron. Ladle batter onto each section of the grid rather than placing it in the middle. The grids should be full but not overflowing, or the batter will seep out the sides of the iron when the top is closed. Bake until the waffle is golden, about 6 minutes, depending on the iron. Carefully lift the lid; if the waffles resist at all, they need a bit more cooking time. Transfer the waffle to an oven rack to keep warm. Continue to cook the remaining batter in 3 batches. There should be no need to re-grease the iron between waffles.
  • Place waffles on plates and serve with the toasted pecans, banana slices and warmed maple syrup.

Pecan Waffles With Roasted Pecan and Banana Syrup image

This was one of Emeril Lagasse's recipes, but he has since changed it. I love this version! I make it every year for Christmas, and my family looks forward to it. It is pretty easy to make, and I use my Belgium waffle maker, with the crisp option. It is so bad for you, but it is worth the splurge once in a while.

Categories     Blender     Breakfast     Brunch     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly     Banana     Pecan     Cornmeal     Maple Syrup     Boil     Gourmet     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup pecans, toasted lightly and chopped coarse
2 teaspoons orange juice or fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 ripe medium banana
1/3 cup water
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
vegetable oil for brushing waffle iron

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°F.
  • In a small saucepan bring maple syrup and pecans to a boil and stir in juice. Remove syrup from heat and keep warm, covered.
  • In a bowl whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Quarter banana and in a blender purée with water. Transfer purée to another bowl and whisk in eggs and melted butter. Add flour mixture and stir until combined well.
  • Heat a well-seasoned or non-stick waffle iron until hot and brush lightly with oil. Pour half of batter into iron and cook waffle according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer waffle to a baking sheet and keep warm, uncovered, in oven. Make another waffle with remaining batter in same manner.
  • Serve waffles with syrup.

Tips:

  • To ensure fluffy waffles, make sure to separate the egg whites and yolks, then beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and airy texture.
  • For a crispy exterior and a tender interior, cook the waffles on a hot waffle iron. If the waffle iron is not hot enough, the waffles will be soggy.
  • To prevent the waffles from sticking to the waffle iron, grease it lightly with cooking spray or butter before each use.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • For a nutty flavor, toast the pecans in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • To make the waffles ahead of time, cook them according to the recipe and then freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer the waffles to a freezer bag and store them for up to 2 months. To reheat, toast the waffles in a toaster or oven until warmed through.

Conclusion:

These banana waffles with toasted pecans are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a stack of fluffy, flavorful waffles that are sure to please everyone at the table. The toasted pecans add a lovely crunchy texture and nutty flavor that perfectly complements the sweet bananas. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast treat, give these banana waffles a try!
