Strawberry-Banana Waffles

Waffles are a big breakfast request in my house.  I'm always looking for new recipes and trying out different combinations, I hardly ever make plain waffles (boring!).  I start with a basic waffle recipe and throw in some new ingredients to make it interesting. This morning, I decided to try out a new mix, strawberry and banana!  Don't these look delicious?!?!  They taste so good, you don't even need syrup.....but feel free to pour it right on, or sprinkle with some powdered sugar!  :)

Strawberry-Banana Waffles

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

4 teaspoon baking powder

dash of salt

1 3/4 cup milk

1/2 cup oil

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 eggs

handful of strawberries (6-8)

2 ripe bananas

3-4 cups oatmeal

Directions:

Mix together-flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt. Add in-milk, oil, vanilla, and eggs.  Finally, stir in-strawberries, bananas, oatmeal. I pureed half the strawberries and 1 banana. Then I chopped the remaining fruit because I like to taste the chunky strawberries and bananas in the cooked waffles.

When your batter is ready, pour about 3/4 cup into a preheated waffle maker and cook until golden brown.  I needed to cook mine a few extra minutes after the waffle maker's timer went off because they weren't cooked all the way through yet. This recipe makes 12-14 waffles, and they freeze well.
