Pecan Waffles with Sautéed Bananas and Cinnamon Honey

Keep in mind that these waffles will cook a little bit faster than a flour waffle because of the honey in the batter. If you don't have a waffle iron, try using the batter for pancakes.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 8 to 10

Ingredients

Waffles

2 cups unsalted raw pecans
4 large eggs
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing the waffle iron
1/4 cup honey
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt

Sautéed Bananas

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
3 very ripe bananas, sliced
1 cup honey
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

  1. To Make The Waffles

    Step 1

    Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's directions. Preheat the oven to 200°F.

    Step 2

    In a food processor, pulverize the pecans until finely ground. Add the eggs, butter, honey, vanilla, baking soda, and salt, and blend well.

    Step 3

    Grease the waffle iron using a partially wrapped stick of cold butter. Hold the butter by its wrapped end and rub the other end all over the waffle iron's cooking surface. Add 1/4 cup batter and cook for a few minutes, until golden brown. Set right on the oven rack to crisp up and keep warm while you cook more.

  2. To Prepare The Bananas

    Step 4

    Melt the butter with the oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the bananas and cook for about 6 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Set aside.

    Step 5

    Mix the honey and cinnamon until well blended.

    Step 6

    Place the waffles on warmed plates, top with the bananas, honey, and serve.
