Banana Nut Sourdough Waffles

 

Having Sourdough Starter all the time has made me create New recipes. We had some Bananas that need to be used as they were very ripe. Using very ripe bananas in a bread recipe is great, as you do not have to add sugar. The sweetness is  intensified  n the bananas. So do not throw them out mash them and use them in cooking. They can by added in any Recipe instead of the sugar. Even cookie ones. 

 

{For this recipe you will need 2 very ripe bananas mashed about 1 cup }

Wet ingredients:

3/4 cup active Sourdough started

3 large eggs

3Tablespoons Melted Butter. cooled slightly

2 teaspoons Vanilla extract

1 Cup Coconut Milk ( you can use 2%Milk)

Whisk this together, then add Mashed Bananas (1 cup)

Dry ingredients:

2 Cups Flour -all Purpose- Sifted.

2teaspoons baking power

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/4 to 1/2 cup of chopped Walnuts. (Depending on if you like more walnuts in your waffles)

 Mix together and add to the wet ingredients. Mix well.

Follow your waffle make instruction to cook.

 

I use a Belgium waffle maker , enjoy.

Holiday extra's: Cheese Spreads.

 A party doesn't seem right without a Cheese Spread. As a Child and Living in Upstate New York, I loved Sharp Cheddar. It must be my taste buds. As early as I can remember I liked strong tastes. Port Wine Spread and Cheddar's were my favorites. I really never like the balls rolled in the nuts, Just the spread thank you. This recipe was created with that thought in mind. Need a sharp Cheese taste.

Sharp New York Cheddar Cheese Spread

8 oz of cream cheese
16 oz New York Cheddar Cheese
1/8 cup (2 tablespoon) of minced sweet onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic.
2 teaspoons Reduced Sodium Worcestershire Sauce
about 1/8 teaspoon (6 drops) of Tabasco Pepper sauce

 In a food Processor, chop the Cheddar til small bits. I use the pulse button.

In a mixer add the  Cream cheese, onion,garlic, Worcestershire Sauce and Pepper sauce. mix well. Add the cheese and mix on medium high until creamy. There might be some cheese bits still insight, that is okay. Just mix until it is mostly creamy.

transfer to a crock or small serving bowl. Refrigerate until you  serve it. allow to set out about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy.
