Peanut Butter, Bacon and Banana Stuffed Waffles

I'm kicking off #BrunchWeek with my latest obsession, stuffed waffles!  Today's version is a peanut butter waffle chock full of bacon and banana, also known as the Elvis Stuffed Waffle.

To get the peanut butter flavor into the batter I used PB2, which is a powdered peanut butter product.  If you can't get your hands on it or just want to use regular peanut butter, you can dollop it on top of the bananas.

I put about 1/4 cup of batter into the bottom of the preheated and non stick sprayed iron and then topped it with about half of a sliced banana. 

 

Next up is a slice of cooked and crumbled bacon. Then you add another 1/4 cup of batter on top, close the iron and let it cook for about 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.

 

They are delicious as is or you can top them with more sliced banana and bacon. 

 

Just look at that perfect layer of bacon and banana!  The waffles are crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. 

 

They're also great with powdered sugar, I like to use my small hand held sifter to get a nice even dusting.
