Ingredients
Units
For the waffles
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 banana, mashed
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons dark rum
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
For the bananas foster
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup dark rum
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 4 tablespoons butter (I use Challenge butter!)
- 3 bananas, sliced lengthwise
Additional ingredients
- chopped pecans
- vanilla ice cream
- maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron according to maker’s instructions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl, mix banana, buttermilk, rum, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Slowly whisk the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring only until combined (do not overmix!).
- Grease waffle iron with nonstick spray between each round of waffles. Pour batter into mold and cook to desired doneness.
- While the waffles are cooking, make the bananas foster! In a large saucepan over medium low heat, melt the brown sugar, rum, maple syrup, and butter. Once melted, turn heat to medium and add in bananas. Use a spatula to flip the bananas so they cook evenly. Cook for roughly 5 minutes total, until the bananas turn a nice golden color and soak up almost all of the sauce.
- To plate your waffles, top each waffle with some of the bananas foster, then top with vanilla ice cream, chopped pecans, and maple syrup!
