Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces bananas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 pieces waffles (homemade or store-bought)
- 0.5 cup whipped cream (optional)
- 0.25 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced bananas to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly browned.
Pour the maple syrup over the bananas. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon and add the vanilla extract. Stir gently to coat the bananas in the syrup.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the bananas are caramelized and the syrup thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
While the bananas cook, prepare the waffles according to package instructions if using store-bought, or by your preferred recipe if making homemade. Keep them warm.
To assemble, place one or two waffles on each plate. Top with the maple-glazed bananas, a drizzle of the warm syrup from the skillet, and a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Garnish with chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch, if using. Serve immediately and enjoy!
