What do you do with bananas that are starting to get over-ripe. You can freeze them to use at another time (and then forget about them like I did), you can make banana nut bread, freeze them overnight, then whirl them in the food processor for banana “ice cream” (which would be delightful on these waffles), or you can make a sensational breakfast and serve banana nut WAFFLES!!
These waffle are so easy – and so delicious!
Here’s how you do it:
Put everything but the bananas and walnuts in a blender.
Blend on high until everything smooth and creamy.
Next add two bananas (leaving one to slice for the top when serving). Whirl it again. Let some of the bananas stay chunky.
Stir in the walnuts and let sit while the waffle iron heats up.
We always make Belgian waffles. They have deeper holes and hold more good stuff, but you can use any waffle maker.
Pour the batter over the hot waffle maker, using just enough to cover the plate.
Close the iron and let cook several minutes. Be careful not to open too soon. They will stick.
Continue cooking until the batter is gone, keeping the co0ked waffles warm in a warm oven, directly on the grate. Putting it on the grate keeps it from steaming and making the waffle soft or soggy.
When you are finished cooking all the batter, serve with sliced banana and a few walnuts on top. Add some maple syrup and indulge!!
