Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and packed brown sugar, creating a harmonious blend of dry ingredients.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale and frothy. Add the sour milk (or buttermilk) and mashed bananas, mixing until well incorporated.
3
Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as a light batter makes for fluffy waffles.
4
In a clean mixing bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form—this step will ensure your waffles are light and airy.
5
Fold the whipped egg whites into the banana batter with a gentle hand, maintaining as much air as possible for a fluffy texture.
6
Gently fold in the butterscotch chips, allowing them to be evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7
Preheat your waffle iron and brush it with a light coating of oil to prevent sticking.
8
Once hot, pour a generous amount of batter into the waffle iron, being careful not to overfill. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, following the manufacturer's instructions for timing.
9
Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately, topped with butter, warm maple syrup, or a scoop of ice cream for a decadent dessert.
