My boys love waffles, it used to be pancakes till my love bought me a waffle maker, so I'm sharing my base recipe. You can use this for pancakes or waffles. You can really let your creativity flow after getting to know this base recipe. My family's favorite version are the banana waffles (actually it's the chocolate chip version, but that is only used for special occasions).
Banana Waffles
1 cup unbleached white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
a few dashes of nutmeg
a few dashes of ground cloves
1 egg
1 & 2/3 cup milk
1 Tbsp oil
1 whole ripe banana
In a good size bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg & cloves; stir to mix well. In a measuring cup add the egg & beat slightly with a fork. Add to dry mix. Add milk to measuring cup (Any milk will do, during the holidays it is my favorite to add egg nog it really makes fluffy waffles. If you are using regular milk you may thicken it up a bit by adding a Tbsp of vinegar per cup of milk.) & pour slowly into dry mix. I usually add a bit at a time maybe cause I use a fairly small bowl, if you are using a bigger bowl you can probably add the whole first cup at once & mix well. For the next 2/3c add a little at a time no matter the size of your bowl. I like my mix a bit runny, you may like it a bit thicker. Add your oil & mix in. At this point I add my banana, I usually break it up into pieces then mix. I like having some chunks of banana. You can also add other things instead of banana, like blueberries (fresh or frozen) chocolate chips, etc. You may also play with extracts like adding a tsp of vanilla, almond or whatever sparks your fancy (Or maybe you just need to use it up I have some mint extract that needs used, but I don't think that would taste good. Maybe if you try mint extract & it turns out amazing let me know ;)
And that is it pour batter into preheated waffle griddle or on heated fry pan. When I used to make pancakes (before I received my waffle maker) I preheated a frying pan (I don't use non-stick at all) & used coconut oil. It is my favorite oil to use it doesn't burn to the pan like my olive oil would. (Which is a nightmare to wash up if not pretreated with dish soap, baking soda, hot water mix. But not as bad as scrambled eggs, I really detest cleaning a pan with stuck scrambled eggs. Most likely why non-stick was made, but again I will NEVER use non-stick.)
