How to Make Banana Walnut Buttermilk Waffles

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth. Add the sugar, buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the chopped walnuts.
  6. Pour 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron (depending on your waffle iron's size).
  7. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp, depending on your waffle iron.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
  9. Store leftover waffles in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Reheat in a toaster oven or conventional oven.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
