Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup whole wheat flour (you can also use spelt, rye, cornmeal or buckwheat)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk (make your own: add 2 tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice to 2 cups milk, and let sit for 5 minutes)
3 eggs
1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter (original recipe called for one full stick of butter)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • To keep the cooked waffles warm while you finish cooking the rest, reheat your oven to 200 degrees and heat up your waffle iron.
  • Mix the dry ingredients (flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a large measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and syrup or honey.
  • Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until they are mixed. Add the melted butter and mix well.
  • Pour batter into your waffle iron until the batter reaches the edges of the iron. Cook until crisp and golden.
  • Place each waffle on a rack in the oven in a single layer to keep them warm until you're ready to serve. Five minutes in the oven may actually help them get a little crispier.

¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are sweeter and have a more intense flavor, which will make your waffles taste better.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your waffles tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a hot waffle iron: A hot waffle iron will help your waffles cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the waffle iron: Overcrowding the waffle iron will prevent your waffles from cooking evenly.
  • Serve your waffles immediately: Waffles are best served hot and fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can reheat them in a toaster or oven.
