Banana & Walnut Delight Waffles

1. Waffle Iron Warm-Up

Begin by preheating your waffle iron to the desired temperature.

2. Sour Soy Mixture

In a measuring jug, whisk together the soy milk, water, and apple cider vinegar. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes until it appears to curdle slightly, which will help create a tender crumb in the waffles.

3. Banana Mash

In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mash the bananas until smooth. Pour in the sour soy milk mixture, then add the canola oil, your choice of syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir these wet ingredients until well combined.

4. Dry Mix Merger

Sift in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground nutmeg. With a gentle hand, use a fork to combine everything, aiming for a uniform batter with minimal lumps. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough waffles.

5. Walnut Incorporation

Fold the finely chopped walnuts into the batter, distributing them evenly without deflating the mixture.

6. Waffle Iron Cooking

Lightly coat the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Ladle the batter onto the iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
