Mickey’s Banana Whole Wheat Waffles
By Yankee Magazine|Apr 12 2008|
This waffle recipe came from the Disney company. I think the idea was to use it in a waffle maker shaped like Mickey Mouse. But it works great in a traditional waffle maker, too. One batch is not enough for my family, so I double the recipe and freeze any leftovers. A bonus: This waffle is surprisingly healthy if you go easy on the butter and syrup. I even like it plain.
Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 ripe medium banana
2 eggs
8-oz. carton plain yogurt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped pecans, optional
Instructions
In large bowl, stir together the flours, oats, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon.
In medium bowl, with fork, mash the banana; add the remaining ingredients beating lightly until combined. Add the banana mixture to dry ingredients; stir until combined. Pour into waffle maker. If desired, sprinkle on some chopped pecans. Bake waffles until golden brown. Baking time will vary with consistency of batter, your waffle maker and your preference for browning.
