Special breakfast: Banana-Nut Waffles

Yum, yum, yum!!!  These waffles are sweet and the walnuts add a great texture.

1 3/4 cups soy milk (I didn't have any, so I used vanilla coconut milk)
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
2 average-size very ripe bananas
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup walnuts, chopped finely
Nonstick cooking spray

Pour the milk, water and vinegar into a measuring cup and set aside to curdle.

Mash the bananas very well in a large mixing bowl. Add the milk mixture, oil, syrup and vanilla, and stir.

This would be a good time to start heating up the waffle iron.

In another bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg together and stir. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir with a fork. Don't overmix, just mix until ther are minimal lumps left. Fold in the chopped walnuts.

Spray the cooking surfaces of your waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray and cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's directions.  I enjoyed my waffles with a big mug of Chai Lon!
