wholesome pecan banana bread waffles

I want to be eating these... right now. Looking forward to making these with my hello kitty waffle iron.

1 1/2 c whole wheat pastry flour
1 c oat bran
1/4 c packed brown sugar
1 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
1/4 c toasted chopped pecans
1 t cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg & cardamom
1 c plain yogurt
1/2 c skim milk
2 eggs, beaten
2 ripe bananas, mashed
3 T butter, melted
2 t vanilla

In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients from the flour to the spices. In another bowl, blend together the wet ingredients from the yogurt to vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and lightly mix until combined. Batter should be thick. Use a ladle to pour batter onto waffle maker and proceed as per your usual waffle-making style. Serve with butter, syrup and fresh fruit.

Here’s a great little waffle tip: Use up all the batter and refrigerate the leftover waffles. Just pop them into the toaster the next day and they’ll heat and crisp up wonderfully. Might as well make a double batch on the weekend and eat these throughout the week. Trust me, your week in waffles will be that much more awesome.
