Welcome to day 1 of #EasterWeek hosted by Bernadette from Rants From My Crazy Kitchen.
This week we are celebrating Easter and Bernadette’s blogging anniversary with all kinds of delicious recipes and a giveaway! From appetizers to ham recipes, we have everything you need for a great Easter dinner or brunch, and one lucky winner will receive a $200 Amazon gift card.
I’m starting the week off with Banana Crumb Waffles. Ripe bananas, drizzled with caramel sauce and sprinkled with soft, sugary crumbs. Great Easter breakfast or brunch for family and guests.
I’m a big fan of bananas. Bananas may not be the first fruit you think of when you hear Easter but they have their place on the Easter table. Banana cake, Banana Foster, Banana Cream Pie and even Banana Pudding.
So why not top fluffy buttermilk waffles with some of my favorite fixin’s. Bananas of course, caramel and soft crumbs like you find on Shoofly Pie.
Banana Crumb Waffles
You can make these treats as pancakes too! Break out the griddle. For pancakes, you can cook the bananas in the pancake too, if you like!
