Banana Date Wafflesバナナとデーツのワッフル

Banana Date Waffles

I should have said Banana Date Waffles SERVED WITH BOURBON MAPLE SYRUP.Because I made these waffles mainly to try this syrup we got at the farmer’s market.

The banana and the dates were a great match for this syrup!!

I try to minimize sugar for my breakfast. There is no added sugar in the waffle batter, and the caramelized natural sweetness from the banana and the dates was just perfect!I took some for a to-go breakfast this week. They tasted great without butter or syrup, too.

Dates are one of the things underused in my opinion. I even forget about its existence myself sometimes, even though I always keep them in my pantry. They are actually great to keep around. I eat them late at night when I have craving for something sweet.

The base waffle recipe is my sister-in-laws. These waffles are light and tasty. Thank you, Patty!!

バナナとデーツのワッフル

甘い朝ごはんはあまり食べないようにしているので、ワッフルも最近は作ってなかったのですが、

先日ファーマーズマーケットで買ったメープルシロップを使いたいために、ワッフル、作ることにしました。

バーボン風味のメープルシロップ

これに、あうようなワッフルにしたくって、

バナナとデーツ入りで作ってみました。

両方とも焼いているうちに、カラメライズされて、自然な甘さによりコクがでます。

シロップとの相性もばっちり！

沢山作ったので次の日は仕事に持っていきましたが、シロップやバターなしで食べても美味しかったです。

ちなみに、ワッフルの土台のレシピは義姉のもの。

卵白を泡立てることで、軽～い仕上がりです。
