Author:
Recipe type: Breakfast
Ingredients
  • Eggs, 2 large
  • Whole milk, 1½ cup – We ended up combining mostly 1% milk with a little half and half.
  • Unsalted butter (melted) ½ cup or canola oil ½ cup
  • Vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon
  • All-purpose flour, 1 cup
  • Whole-wheat flour, ½ cup – We just used all-purpose.
  • Rolled oats, ¾ cup
  • Golden brown sugar, 3 tablespoons (plus 2-3 teaspoons for sprinkling)
  • Baking powder, 1 tablespoon
  • Cinnamon, ½ teaspoon
  • Salt, ¼ teaspoon
  • Ripe bananas, 2 large, chopped into ¼ inch slices
  • Optional: syrup (we didn’t need)
Instructions
  1. Preheat waffle maker
  2. In a medium bowl whisk together eggs, milk, butter and vanilla
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the flours, oats, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
  4. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients, add eggs
  5. Whisk until smooth, with a few lumps. Fold in three-fourths of the bananas (we’ll use the rest later)
  6. Spoon about ½ cup to ¾ cup waffle batter into the waffle maker for each batch. Before closing waffle maker sprinkle 1 teaspoon brown sugar and top with 1-2 slices of banana.
  7. Cook until waffles are crisp and brown, 3-4 minutes. Spray waffle maker with non-stick spray before putting on next batch.
  8. Remove waffles and serve right away. Or keep them on a baking sheet at 200 degrees F for up to 20 minutes before serving.
  9. You can serve with syrup, but honestly I think the brown sugar and caramelized bananas make it plenty sweet.
