Recipe: Banana Walnut Waffles

BANANA WALNUT WAFFLES

Classic waffle for a weekend brunch - top with warm syrup.

2 cups unbleached flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup vanilla yogurt, lowfat
3/4 cup whole milk
1 cup banana, mashed
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl and stir to combine.

In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs and oil and stir into dry ingredients. Stir in yogurt. Add milk and stir until mixture is a smooth batter. Stir in banana and walnuts until incorporated. Let batter rest 5 minutes before using.

Preheat your Cuisinart Waffle Iron on setting #3.

When preheated, green indicator light will illuminate. Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of the lower grid. Allow batter to spread toward edges for 5 seconds. Close lid of waffle iron - green indicator light will turn off. When green indicator light turns on again, waffle is ready. Open lid and carefully remove baked waffle. Repeat with remaining batter.

For best results, serve immediately.
