How to Make Pecan Waffles With Roasted Pecan And Banana Syrup

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roast pecans: Spread 1 cup pecans on a baking sheet and roast for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
Make the banana syrup: In a saucepan, combine 2 ripe bananas, mashed; 1/2 cup brown sugar; 1/4 cup maple syrup; 1/4 cup water; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Stir in 1/2 cup of the roasted pecans.
Prepare waffle batter: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups buttermilk, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in remaining 1/2 cup of roasted pecans.
Heat your Belgian waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Use the crisp setting if available.
Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
Serve waffles immediately, topped generously with the warm roasted pecan banana syrup. Enjoy!
