Belgian Waffles….Remake


Belgian Waffles…Remake

 

 

Waffles

 

This original recipe called for 1 whole cup of butter. Yikes! I quickly changed that ingredient and swapped half of the butter for one of my favorite tricks of the trade a really, really, ripe banana. No one will even know the difference.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar or splenda for baking
  • 3-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 1-1/2 cups skim milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • Small ripe banana (mashed)
  • 1 teaspoon Mexican vanilla extract
  • Pinch of cinnamon

 

Directions

In a bowl, combine both  flours, sugar and baking powder ( I always like to sift these ingredients together). In another bowl, lightly beat egg yolks. Add milk, butter, banana, and vanilla; mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until combined. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; fold into batter.

 

Bake in a preheated waffle iron according to manufacturer’s directions until golden brown. Serve with powdered sugar, peanut butter (my favorite), jelly, or syrup. 

Enjoy!
