Pecan Waffles With Pecan And Banana Syrup

Pecan Waffles With Pecan And Banana Syrup

Spoil your favorite person by whipping up a batch of these simple yet delicious waffles for brunch. The banana-pecan maple syrup is the perfect accompaniment.

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 to 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/4 pound (1 stick) plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup pecan pieces
  • 2 medium-size ripe bananas, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
  • 2 cups pure maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup ground pecans
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 large egg whites

Directions

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium-size sauté pan over medium heat. Add the pecan pieces and cook, stirring, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the banana slices and syrup and bring to a simmer. Set aside and keep warm.

  • Combine the flour, ground pecans, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium-size mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks and vanilla together slightly. Add the milk and the 1 stick of melted butter to the egg mixture and whisk to combine. Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Stir until combined yet still slightly lumpy. In a small mixing bowl whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the batter, leaving little fluffs.

  • If using a Belgian waffle iron, pour 1 cup of the batter onto the grids of a preheated and lightly greased waffle iron. (Regular waffle irons will take only about 1/2 cup.) Close the lid. Do not open during cooking time. For the Belgian waffle iron, cook until golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Smaller waffle irons will take 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.

  • Serve hot with the pecan and banana syrup.
