Team Waffles
Are you team pancakes or waffles? You know I love both, but there is something extra special about pulling out the waffle iron on weekend mornings and making crispy fluffy waffles one at a time. I love how versatile waffles are with endless flavor and topping options. These peanut butter and roasted banana waffles do not disappoint in the flavor factor.
American Classic
Peanut butter is one of those quintessential American childhood foods that invokes so many food memories. Remember ants-on-a-log? I love it on toast with jelly, in cookies and ice-cream, or on its own straight from the jar. One of my favorite quick snacks is just spreading peanut butter on pieces of banana. Smooth or chunky? I like both but usually use smooth peanut butter in recipes. How ever you enjoy peanut butter, you cannot go wrong with this classic ingredient that is not only tasty but very affordable, versatile and nutritious. In fact, with each two tablespoon serving of peanut butter you’ll fuel your body with eight powerful grams of protein, two grams of filling fiber and twelve grams of unsaturated fat.
Packed with Flavor
Roasting ripe bananas with dark sugar until they start to caramelize really brings out a deep nutty caramel flavor that pairs perfectly with rich and creamy peanut butter. Combined these flavors make for some ultra-scrumptious waffles. Slather them in more peanut butter sweetened with maple syrup for an unforgettable breakfast!
