Peanut Butter Banana Waffles
A mix of peanut butter, mashed banana, kefir, and cinnamon adds over-the-top flavor to these perfectly textured waffles. The secret ingredient here is the creamy, yogurt-like kefir that makes these waffles tender and with a taste reminiscent of buttermilk pancakes. The batter takes less than 10 minutes to make, then just serve them hot off the waffle iron with a few fresh fruit toppers, peanut butter drizzle, or maple syrup.
