These waffles are a delightful twist on the classic breakfast favorite, featuring the tangy flavor of sourdough paired with the sweetness of bananas and the crunch of pecans.
Feed your sourdough starter the night before to ensure it's active and bubbly.
An active sourdough starter will give the waffles a light and airy texture.
Preheat your waffle iron to the desired setting.
Ensure the waffle iron is hot before adding the batter to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help achieve a smoother batter.
In another bowl, mash the banana and mix in the egg yolks, melted butter, and milk.
Use a fork to mash the banana thoroughly for a consistent texture.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, then fold in the sourdough starter and pecans.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the batter, which can make the waffles dense.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and gently fold them into the batter.
Folding in the egg whites carefully will help keep the batter light and airy.
Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown.
Use a ladle or measuring cup to pour the batter evenly into the waffle iron.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings.
Top with fresh fruit, syrup, or whipped cream for a delightful breakfast.
