RICHMOND, Va. - Great friend of the show, Sequoia “Chef Coco” Ross was back in the Virginia This Morning kitchen to share her recipe for “I’ll Always Love my Momma” multigrain waffles with roasted bananas, just in time for Mothers Day! She also served up some signature Mimosas.

I'll Always Love My Momma Multigrain Waffles w/ Roasted Bananas

INGREDIENTS

·         1 cup buttermilk

·         1 cup plain Greek yogurt

·         1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

·         2/3 cup whole-wheat flour

·         2/3 cup all-purpose flour

·         1/4 cup toasted wheat germ

·         1 teaspoons baking powder

·         1 teaspoon baking soda

·         1/4 teaspoon sea salt

·         1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

·         2 large eggs, lightly beaten

·         1/4 cup packed brown sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mix buttermilk and oats in a medium bowl; let stand for 15 minutes.

2. Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, wheat germ (or cornmeal), baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.

3. Stir eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla into the oat mixture. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients; mix with a rubber spatula just until moistened.

4. Coat a waffle iron with cooking spray and preheat. Spoon in enough batter to cover three-fourths of the surface (about 2/3 cup for an 8-by-8-inch waffle iron). Cook until waffles are crisp and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
