Banana Spice Waffles with Peanut Butter Syrup

If you like this recipe, please share!

I love a good farmer’s market. Some of the ones in my area are not all that great but if you venture outside the city, to the agricultural mecca around the area, it’s a different story.

Around the Tampa area you find strawberries, blueberries, peaches, watermelon, onions and corn, just to name a few, that are all grown within a 50 mile radius. Many farms also have lettuce, blackberries, and various herbs.

This week friends and I are sharing recipes that use ingredients found at farmer’s markets. I’ve made banana spice waffles with peanut butter syrup. By spice I mean it’s not heat, like cayenne, but rather warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.

While I know Elvis Presley would love this flavor combination, your family and brunch guests will too. The waffles won’t be perfect if you have a larger size waffle maker but that’s OK. The rustic look is kind of charming plus they will still be delicious.

More recipes that use farmer’s market ingredients include The Barefoot Contessa’s zucchini pancakes, pecan honey butter, or, for the grown ups, a blood orange whiskey smash.

Ingredients

Waffle Batter:

• 2 cups flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 2 large eggs
• 2 ripe bananas mashed
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Peanut Butter Syrup:

• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

• Make the waffles: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• In a separate bowl, using a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the eggs until they are light in color and air has been incorporated. They should double in size.
• Add the mashed banana and whip for another minute.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the milk, oil and vanilla.
• Mix just until combined, then fold into the banana mixture.
• Use a waffle iron to cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions, but leave slightly underdone if you're planning on freezing them.
• Make the syrup: Heat the peanut butter and maple syrup together in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir to incorporate. Remove when incorporated and warmed. Serve with banana spice waffles.
