Brioche and Chocolate-Banana Filled Waffles

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
• 3/4 cup whole milk, warmed
• 2 large eggs
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk and eggs. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
3. Add the melted butter and stir until the batter comes together. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rise for 1 hour at room temperature, or overnight in the fridge.
4. About 10 minutes before cooking, mash the ripe banana and fold in the chocolate chips.
5. Preheat your waffle iron. Spoon enough batter into the waffle iron to cover the hot plate, but not so much that it overflows. Cook until golden brown on both sides.
6. Cut the waffle in half horizontally and spread the chocolate-banana mixture on the bottom half. Top with the remaining waffle half.
7. Serve warm with whipped cream or powdered sugar, if desired.

Verdict:

These brioche and chocolate-banana filled waffles are the perfect indulgent breakfast treat. The brioche waffle batter yields a rich and buttery waffle that is the perfect vessel for the ooey-gooey chocolate and sweet banana filling. Serve with whipped cream or powdered sugar on top for an extra special touch.

Serving Suggestions:

These waffles are perfect for a lazy weekend brunch or a special occasion breakfast. Serve alongside fresh fruit, bacon, or sausage for a balanced meal. Or, make them into a fun dessert by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Enjoy!
