A quick and easy Belgian Waffle recipe with a fruity twist. Mashed ripe bananas and crunchy walnuts are perfect in the mix. Serve with warm chocolate sauce, some extra slices of banana. And a dollop of cinnamon whipped cream would make this waffle recipe is even more delicious.
There is nothing better than a homemade pancake or waffle. It takes just a few minutes to measure out the ingredients, but it is well worth it. My kids love waffles. We often make an extra batch and freeze them. Tip: When freezing waffles put a sheet of wax paper in between each one to prevent them from sticking together. On busy weekday mornings you can take them out of the freezer, pop them in the toaster and the kids can have banana waffles before school.

- Preheat Waffle iron to recommended setting. (I use the Classic Setting, medium brown)1. In a large bowl sift together flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon (if using), and sugar. 2. Melt the butter.3. Mash the bananas with a fork.4. In a large measuring cup, or medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks with buttermilk, and vanilla extract. 5. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and gently stir until they are about halfway combined. Add the mashed banana. Then pour the melted butter and continue to stir gently.6. With a mixer, whisk the egg whites until they have stiffened and soft peaks form. Very gently fold them into the waffle batter. Do not over mix at this point. 7. Spray waffle iron with a non stick baking spray.8. Scoop the waffle batter onto the iron. Cook according to its directions. Making sure the waffles are nice golden brown and criso. That can take about 4.5 to 5 minutes.Remove and serve right away hot out of the oven with some warm syrup, or warm chocolate sauce. I usually melt a little nutella, and drizzle it over the waffles.
