Keep in mind that these waffles will cook a little bit faster than a flour waffle because of the honey in the batter. If you don't have a waffle iron, try using the batter for pancakes.

　　

Ingredients

Serves 8 to 10

　　

Waffles

2 cups unsalted raw pecans

　　4 large eggs

　　8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing the waffle iron

　　1/4 cup honey

　　1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

　　1/2 teaspoon baking soda

　　Pinch of salt

　　

Sautéed Bananas

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

　　1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil

　　3 very ripe bananas, sliced

　　1 cup honey

　　1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

　　

To Make The Waffles

Step 1

Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's directions. Preheat the oven to 200°F.

　　

Step 2

In a food processor, pulverize the pecans until finely ground. Add the eggs, butter, honey, vanilla, baking soda, and salt, and blend well.

　　

Step 3

Grease the waffle iron using a partially wrapped stick of cold butter. Hold the butter by its wrapped end and rub the other end all over the waffle iron's cooking surface. Add 1/4 cup batter and cook for a few minutes, until golden brown. Set right on the oven rack to crisp up and keep warm while you cook more.

　　

To Prepare The Bananas

Step 4

Melt the butter with the oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the bananas and cook for about 6 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Set aside.

　　

Step 5

Mix the honey and cinnamon until well blended.

　　

Step 6

Place the waffles on warmed plates, top with the bananas, honey, and serve.
