Bananas Foster Waffles
Ingredients
- Waffles
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
4 to 16 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (the more butter, the crisper the waffle)
1 1/2 cups almond milk
- Bananas Foster Topping
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons water
2 under ripe bananas, sliced in half lengthwise
1/4 cup dark rum
Directions
- Waffles
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs, butter and milk.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients for the wet ingredients and whisk together until just combined.
- Brush the waffle maker with a bit of extra melted butter and fill according to waffle maker’s instructions. Bake until golden.
- Bananas Foster Topping
- Melt butter in a heavy skillet over low heat. Add brown sugar, allspice, nutmeg and water and stir until sugar dissolves. Bring sauce to simmer.
- Add bananas and cook for 1 minute on each side. Remove bananas from pan to a serving dish.
- Bring sauce to a simmer and carefully add the rum. If the sauce is very hot, the alcohol will flame on its own. If not, using stick flame, carefully ignite and continue cooking until flame dies out, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. If sauce is too thin, cook for 1 to 2 minutes until it is syrupy in consistency.
- Immediately spoon the sauce over bananas and serve. Serve with waffles.
