Homemade waffles are our all-time favorite family breakfast. Usually, we make Belgian-style waffles served with maple syrup and pecans on top. Today, however, I created a new version. These whole grain waffles are loaded with flavors of banana, macadamia nuts, and white chocolate.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon sugar
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup Macadamia nuts, ground
2 eggs
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup mashed banana (approx. 1 medium banana)
1 ounce of white chocolate chunks or chips
Additional butter, Maple syrup, ground Macadamia nuts, coconut flakes (optional)
Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and soda, and Macadamia nuts. Mix well.
Preheat waffle iron, sprinkling it with a non-stick cooking spray.
In a separate large bowl, whisk eggs, yogurt, vanilla, and milk. Add the dry ingredients mixture and whisk until the batter is smooth. Whisk in melted butter, mashed banana, and white chocolate.
Pour the batter into the waffle iron (about 1/4 cup into each square). Bake for 4 minutes or until the waffles are golden.
Serve warm with additional butter and Maple syrup and if desired sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes and Macadamia nuts.
Makes 4 square waffles.
