This recipe comes from Williams-Sonoma. It is delicious for brunch or scale the servings down to serve 8 for dessert. My addition to this recipe is using green tipped bananas. They are firmer and will hold their shape when cooked. I also tossed in the pecans and have listed them as optional. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons butter |
3/4 cup maple syrup |
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 cup dark rum (optional) or 1/4 teaspoon rum extract |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
4 bananas, green tipped, peeled and cut diagnoally into 1/2 inch slices |
1/4 cup pecans, coarse chopped (optional) |
4 large waffles, warmed |
sweetened whipped cream |
Directions:
1. In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter with the maple syrup; stir in cinnamon, rum if using and vanilla; simmer 1 minute.
2. Add the sliced bananas to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
3. With a slotted spoon, remove the bananas from the syrup mixture and place in a serving dish.
4. Sprinkle the pecans over the syrup and allow to warm and glaze.
5. Pour the syrup and pecan mixture over the bananas and stir gently.
6. Serve immediately over warmed waffles and top with whipped cream.
