Bananas Foster Waffles

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bananas Foster Waffles.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your Belgian waffle iron according to the manufacturer's guidelines, so it's nice and hot when you're ready to cook.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, white sugar, and a pinch of salt.

   Whisk these dry ingredients together until they’re well blended, then set this bowl aside for now.

   In a separate bowl, crack in your eggs and whisk them together with 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and milk.

   Gradually pour in the melted butter while stirring, then gently fold in the flour mixture.
