Fruity Waffles, Banana Chip Waffles | Cuisinart WMR-CA instruction

FRUITY WAFFLES

Puréed fruit adds lightness and delicate flavor to baked waffles.

Makes eight 6-1/2-inch round waffles

2cups all-purpose flour

2tablespoons sugar

1tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt

1-3/4 cups reduced fat milk

6tablespoons vegetable oil

2large eggs

1/2 cup puréed fruit* or applesauce (use fresh or frozen)

Place ingredients in a large mixing bowl and combine until well blended and smooth. Let batter sit 5 minutes before using. Preheat your Cuisinart® Classic Waffle Maker on setting #3 *(green indicator light will be illuminated when preheated).

Pour a scant 1/2 cup batter onto the center of the lower grid; spread evenly using a heat-proof spatula. Close cover of waffle maker. Indicator light will turn red. When light turns green again, waffle is ready. Open cover and carefully remove baked waffle. Repeat with remaining batter. For best results, serve immediately. However, you may keep waffles warm in a 200°F oven until ready to serve.

*We recommend using setting #3 to achieve a golden brown baked waffle. Adjust the browning control if you prefer lighter or darker waffles.
