Waffles a la "Bananas Foster"

Waffles made with our trusty waffle iron have been a weekend staple in the Nienhuis home for years. Recently, I have been trying to mix it up and stray from the typical "waffles with syrup".

I made these scrumptious morsels this morning... They went over amazingly! Perfect for a chilly Michigan morning as we had today!

FOR WAFFLES

2 cups "just add water" pancake mix
1 1/2 cups water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tbsp. malt powder
1/4 cup wheat germ

Blend and make waffles according to directions on box. Makes 5-6waffles.

TOPPING

1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 tsp. salt
4 bananas, sliced 1/4 inch thick

In large saute pan over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add brown sugar, syrup and salt and bananas. Sirring constantly, heat until brown sugar is dissolved, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Pour over waffles and enjoy!
