Description
Deliciously fluffy banana waffles topped with fresh bananas, whipped cream, and chopped pecans.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs (separated)
- 1¾ cups whole milk
- ½ cup salted butter (melted)
- ½ cup chopped pecans (plus more for topping)
- 2–3 ripe bananas
- Sweetened whipped cream (for serving)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Separate egg yolks and egg whites. Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Add egg yolks, milk, melted butter, and pecans to the dry ingredients. Stir to combine.
- Fold the beaten egg whites into the waffle batter just until they are mostly combined, but some streaks of egg white still remain.
- Heat a waffle iron until the indicator light goes off. Add waffle batter to the hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crisp. Transfer the finished waffles to a wire rack to prevent them from steaming and softening on a plate. Continue to cook waffles until all of the batter has been used up.
- When ready to serve, place waffles on plates and top with sliced bananas, freshly whipped cream, and additional chopped pecans. Serve with maple syrup to drizzle over the top.
Notes
- For a sweeter touch, add chocolate chips to the batter.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter after adding the egg whites for the best texture.
