3 very ripe bananas (about 1 1/4 pounds)

BANANA-NUT WAFFLE CAKE



Banana-Nut Waffle Cake image

I wanted to use waffles in a creative way and came up with an idea of making a cake out of them. Not only did it take much less time than making an ordinary cake, it came out just as delicious as a traditional cake. Waffles can be made ahead, wrapped and stored in the fridge until ready to assemble this cake. -Kristina S., Yonkers, New York

I'm a pastor's wife, and it's so good to have something to serve when friends drop in unexpectedly. Because this banana nut cake can be frozen and also keeps well in the refrigerator, I try to have one on hand-just in case. -Gloria Barkley, Wilmington, North Carolina

WAFFLED BANANA BREAD



Waffled Banana Bread image

Forget the loaf pan; we used the waffle iron to make fresh, warm banana bread in a fraction of the usual baking time. If you like your bread a little chunkier, go easy on your bananas when you're mashing them.

Time 35m

Yield About 8 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup smashed banana (2 to 3 small bananas)
1/2 cup vegetable oil, plus more for brushing waffle iron
1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Soft unsalted butter and confectioners' sugar, for dusting, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (to keep cooked waffles warm). Whisk together the flour, sugar, walnuts, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the banana, oil, sour cream, vanilla and eggs in another bowl. Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's ok if there are lumps).
  • Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with oil. Fill each section about three-quarters of the way full (there should still be some waffle iron showing). Close and cook until the waffles are golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Keep the waffles warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate while you cook the remaining batter.
  • Spread with butter and dust with confectioners' sugar if you'd like.
