Bananas are a no brainer for breakfast items. There are banana muffins, banana pancakes, sliced bananas on oatmeal, banana bread, bananas on yogurt, and banana french toast. Well, I took it a step further and made bananas waffles with caramelized bananas so you can add another goodie to that breakfast list.
Don’t forget that you can always eat them as is. That’s usually how my DF prefers them.
As for me, I’ll take them caramelized or flambéed any day.
This dish is definitely restaurant worthy. If I ever open my own breakfast spot, these waffles would be on the menu.
Instead of using whipped cream on top, Cool Whip would make it even better since it could stand up to the heat of the waffle without melting. I had to take these pictures quickly before I had a puddle of whipped cream dripping down the sides of the waffles.
The caramelized bananas were sweet enough on their own, so you don’t need to add any maple syrup. A little sprinkling of powdered sugar would be sufficient if you really needed that something extra. I chose to use cinnamon.
Another tip when it comes to making waffles is that when you remove the waffle from the waffle maker, don’t put it on a plate immediately after. Place it on a cooling rack so that the bottom can cool a little and crisp up. If you place the waffle on a plate straight from the grill, the bottom will get soggy from the heat having no where to escape.
You can also place them in the oven to keep them warm while you’re making another batch.
As for the caramelizing part, it’s a beautiful sight.
Yes, just yes. Give me a spoonful of that, please!
