Southern Waffles With Caramelized Bananas and Pecan Syrup

Sunday mornings are meant for a homemade breakfast. I love getting up on Sunday’s and cooking up a special breakfast. My family’s favorite is waffles.

Last Sunday, My hubby and daughters went dirt bike riding and I wanted to make sure that they had full bellies before leaving. I made these waffles with a caramelized banana and pecan syrup, and turkey bacon too.

Wow were these waffles amazingly good. They were crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The syrup was sweet with bananas and the pecans added that special crunch. I could have sworn that I was eating dessert for breakfast.

Throw away that instant waffle mix and try making your next batch of waffles from scratch. It’s really fast and simple. Your going to love the results and I promise, you will not go back to instant waffles again.

Measure and mix one bowl of dry ingredients and another for wet ingredients. Combine and whisk – that’s it!

Brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with vegetable for crispy waffles. You can use a cooking spray too, but you won’t get the same crunchy results.

I hope that you enjoy these waffles soon and have a fabulous Sunday!
