About twenty minutes later, as I sat down to my delicious, crispy waffle topped with sliced bananas, a tiny drizzle of caramel, toasted pecans and a dash of maple syrup, I decided that yes, the waffles and bananas did make a great breakfast.
Sunday Morning Banana Waffles
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons sugar (or honey)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 small or 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to 2 bananas, sliced thinly
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
- maple syrup
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add milk, oil, eggs and vanilla. Whisk together until combined (try not to mix too much - a few lumps are ok). If possible, let the batter rest on the counter for a half an hour to an hour (or more is fine - I think this makes a more tender finished product). If you and your family are hungry and ready to eat (10 minutes ago), get your waffle iron heating according to the manufacturers instructions - the batter will be fine and doesn't have to rest. Cook waffles - you should get about 4.
Top hot waffles with sliced bananas, a drizzle of caramel sauce, chopped pecans and maple syrup. I also think a little pile of whipped cream would be delicious, but I didn't have any. If you try the waffles with whipped cream, let me know how it is! Serve immediately.
