Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced
3 large eggs, separated
2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 medium very ripe bananas
Instructions
First Step: Preheat a waffle iron to get it nice and hot. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg; set aside.
Second Step: To brown the butter, heat a thick-bottomed skillet on medium heat, add the sliced butter, and whisk frequently until itβs melted, foaming, and forms brown specks with a nutty aroma; remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Third Step: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, buttermilk, browned butter, honey, and vanilla, then pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fourth Step: Mash the bananas with a fork in a separate bowl and stir them into the batter.
Fifth Step: Beat the egg whites with a mixer until stiff but not dry, then gently fold them into the batter.
Sixth Step: Ladle the appropriate amount of batter onto the hot waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until the waffles are golden brown on both sides, about 5 to 6 minutes.
Final Step: Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200 degrees F oven. For crispy results, learn more about banana benefits that enhance this recipe.
