Recipe - banana pecan blender waffles

It doesn't hurt to take some recipe shortcuts with breakfast - the most important meal of the morning.  I often use a batter setting on my Blendtec blender, then just throw stuff in and push the button.  In this case:
  • 1 cup nonfat milk
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 banana, broken in fourths
  • ¼ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1¼ cups (5 ounces) all-purpose flour
For the last second, add ⅓ cup toasted pecans through the cap (not the lid).  I takes less than a second for those to be chopped and distributed.
Cook in a ready waffle iron on as pancakes on a griddle, with either sprayed with non-stick pan spray.  These like either fruit or maple syrup - or pluot-maple syrup.  We're using pluots, because that's what we have ripe right now.
Tip: If you can, always weigh your flour. 
Tip: Adjust pancake and waffle batters for thickness using prepared pancake mix, buttermilk, or milk.
Tip: To hold leftover batter for another day, stir in ⅛ teaspoon baking yeast, then cover and refrigerate.
