Ingredients
- Bananas:
- 1 - 2 ripe bananas, chopped
- brown sugar (2-3 Tbs, or more or less depending on your taste for sweetness)
- butter
- Vanilla Batter:
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 1/2 tsp sugar (or honey)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1 cup milk
- 2 Tbs vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Preparation
Step 1
To prepare bananas, place bananas and brown sugar in a small skillet over medium heat and sautee with a touch of butter for just a couple of minutes, or just until bananas are slightly softened or softened to your taste.

To prepare batter, add the flours, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk lightly to combine.
In a small bowl lightly whisk the egg yolks and then add the milk, melted butter and vanilla. Whisk to combine. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until blended. Batter may be lumpy.
In a small bowl whisk the egg whites until stiff, but not dry peaks form (may use an electric mixer, but we suggest a good ole whisk!). Fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until no white streaks remain.
With your ebelskiver pan heated over medium heat, fill cups about 1/2 full. Moving quickly, spoon a few chopped bananas over the batter, then fill cups with more batter to cover bananas.
Using wooden skewers, flip the ebelskivers after a couple of minutes, and then cook until cooked through and nicely browned.
Serve with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar.
