Nutella-Topped Banana Bread Waffles
Nutella-Topped Banana Bread Waffles are one of our favorite breakfasts. I start these waffles by making an easy banana waffle batter. Then, I top the waffles with homemade vanilla whipped cream, Nutella chocolate spread, sliced bananas, walnuts, and strawberries. We like these banana waffles for several reasons. First of all, I like that these waffles can feed a small crowd. Each waffle easily feeds two people. Secondly, I like serving these waffles for breakfast for dinner. The whole family gets excited when I make these waffles for dinner. And, lastly, we all love the nutty waffles, the fluffy whipped cream, the sweet fruit, and the chocolatey Nutella.
The Equipment I Used
- A Waffle Iron- You’ll need this to cook the waffles.
- A Mixer- Use this to whip the cream.
The Ingredients Needed for Nutella-Topped Banana Bread Waffles
- Flour- Be sure to use all-purpose flour. I always use King Arthur brand flour.
- Eggs- Use large eggs
- Sour Cream- I always use full-fat sour cream.
- Milk- I also use whole milk.
- Bananas- Use any bananas. They don’t need to be especially ripe.
- Butter- Use unsalted butter.
- Cream- Be sure to use heavy cream to make the whipped cream.
How I Made my Banana Waffles
- First, I made the banana waffle batter. When making waffle batter, it’s important to not overmix the batter. You want to mix in each ingredient, until it’s just combined.
- Next, I cooked the batter in the waffle iron.
- Then, while the waffles cooked, I made the whipped cream. Take care to not overmix the cream, or it will stiffen into butter.
- Finally, I topped each waffle with some Nutella, some sliced strawberries, some finely chopped walnuts, some sliced bananas, and some whipped cream.
If you like bananas, you need to try these hearty and delicious Nutella-Topped Banana Bread Waffles.
