Bananas Foster Waffles

Brunch is truly the best meal of the day or at least it’s my favourite. Bananas, boozy caramel and waffles, how can you go wrong?

You are either a savoury breakfast person or a sweet breakfast person, but if you are lucky you enjoy both and savoury. I have many plans to add recipes for both because like I said brunch is my favourite.

Bananas foster is such a delicious caramel based sauce that combines the flavours of cinnamon, bananas and a nice splash of rum. This recipe was the first time I’ve flam bayed anything and thankfully no one was harmed in the process.

My only quarantine purchase has been a waffle iron and I was very happy to break it in today. I’m on the hunt to perfect the best Belgium waffle. The recipe I did today was pretty good, I’m looking for a little bit more colour and fluffy center for my next try!
