I had to do some major surgery on this recipe to get it to work right.
It was submitted to the site ages ago and had gotten mixed, but mostly
favorable, reviews. (Please note as you read comments below that I altered the
recipe in August 2013). The biggest complaint was that the waffles stuck to the
waffle maker if you didn't use an enormous amount of cooking spray. I
experienced that big time when I made the recipe as originally submitted. So, I
adjusted the ingredients to include melted butter and increased the flour. With
those changes, these are pretty good waffles. You get a lot of banana flavor
and the applesauce lends just enough sweetness so they're not too awfully sweet
when you top them with syrup. That said, these are softer waffles than you
might be used to. They won't get super crisp and they have to be pulled gently
off the waffle iron so they won't tear. If you know what you're in for, you'll
probably be happy with the results.
How To Make Banana Cinnamon Waffles
Heat up your waffle iron and give it a thin coat of cooking spray (if
directed to do so by your instruction manual).
Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in one bowl. In
another bowl, beat together the egg yolks, milk, mashed banana, melted butter
and applesauce. Add the dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just
moistened.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and fold that into the
batter mixture.
Pour enough batter to fill two-thirds of the waffle iron. Cook until
the edges are crisp and golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
Great advice for almost all
waffles:
When you first take a waffle out of the iron, it is usually kind of
soft and moist. Store just-made waffles your oven at about 200 degrees F while
you make the rest of your waffles. After a few minutes in the oven, the waffles
get more crisp on the outside. Don't let any waffle linger in the oven over 15
minutes.
These waffles have a nice banana flavor that's even better if you top
them with additional banana slices and maple syrup.
