I just really wanted to incorporate bananas into my batter. I didn't want to do anything fancy or with nuts added. So... this is what I did:
2 Cups of a baking mix (in my case, I used Bisquick cause I got a cheap cheap deal on it).
2 Tbsp of Veggie Oil
1 egg
1 1/3 Cups of Buttermilk
2 Tbsp of Brown Sugar
1 Banana, mashed
Just a dash, less than 1/8th of a teaspoon of Vanilla extract
I started out with one banana, smashed it with a fork in my bowl. This will make it almost into a liquid, especially when you add your sugar to it. Add your vanilla. Then blend in your egg and a cup of your buttermilk. NOW... add 1/2 cup at a time of your baking mix ... until you reach a thick, brownie batter consistency. Use that 1/3 of buttermilk if it is too thick. (If you want pancakes, thin it out to like a cake batter consistency).
Depending on what kind of waffle maker you have, prep it for use by the directions or however you have been doing it all along. For my waffle maker, it takes about 1/3 of a cup to 1/2 to fill each square. Cook by the directions or till it is done to the level you wish.
The way I made them, it made 4 perfectly filled out squares. And, probably the best waffle I have made in this waffle maker... I did add a few blueberries to my waffles, made them even better!
And if you really like nutmeg, clove or cinnamon that might even make a great addition as well!
