Breakfasts in our house can be a bit boring – toast, hardboiled egg, slices of apples. Every now and then, though, we need something to break up the monotony. Banana-raspberry Belgian Waffles bring some serious decadence to the morning. A heaping pile of Belgian waffles slathered in maple syrup and homemade whipped cream is like eating dessert for breakfast, and what could be more fun than that?
Ingredients
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
2 eggs
¼ cup butter, melted and cooled
½ teaspoon almond extract
½ - 1 cup banana puree
6 ounces raspberries, halved
Instructions
In a medium sized bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, mix buttermilk, eggs, butter, almond extract, and banana puree. Slowly stir the flour mixture into the buttermilk mixture, being sure to get rid of all the lumps. Carefully stir in raspberries. Pour batter into preheated waffle iron and cook until waffles are crisp and golden. Serve with maple syrup, raspberries, and some home-made whipped cream.
