    As for the Bananas Foster sauce on top of these awesome waffles, that was kind of a whim. I am constantly seeing images of different foods with "bananas foster" in the title. Cupcakes, pancakes, muffins, but I didn't see any waffles. I knew that I had to create a recipe for waffles topped with bananas foster sauce!

    Ingredients needed

    Ingredients to make Bananas Foster Belgian Waffles.
    • I used a boxed waffle mix to accommodate different food allergies. You can use gluten-free or regular mix making sure to follow "their" liquid requirements. I will also include a homemade waffle mix recipe below.
    • Milk* - this can be coconut, cashew, whole, or milk of your choice. Just be careful with non-fat or thinner almond milks, they may make your batter too thin.
    • Light colored oil like canola and large eggs.
    • Pure vanilla extract to flavor the waffles.
    • For the sauce you will need butter, brown sugar and cinnamon for the base.
    • Banana liqueur and dark rum add the intense flavor to the sauce.
    • Fresh bananas are sliced and lightly cooked in the sauce. So yummy!

    Be sure to check out the detailed printable recipe card below

    How to make Bananas Foster Belgian Waffles

    For the Waffles:

    Heat waffle iron per manufacture's instructions.

    Place waffle mix in a large bowl.

    Mix in the coconut milk*.

    Waffle batter and whisk in a large bowl.

    Add oil, eggs, and vanilla.

    Waffle batter, two eggs and vanilla extract in a large bowl with a wire whisk.

    Whisk together just until combined.

    Quick Tip

    Waffle mix directions vary by brand. Follow their directions, some require mixing the milk with the mix and then allow it to sit before adding the remaining ingredients.

    Pour batter into waffle iron per instructions. Mine uses about a 1/3 cup on each side.

    Belgian waffle iron filled with waffle batter.

    Cook until golden brown. Place on a cooling rack while you continue with the remaining batter.

    Cooked waffles on a wire rack topped baking sheet.

    Place baking sheet in a warm oven (170 degrees) to keep waffles warm until ready to serve.

    For the Bananas Foster Sauce:

    Combine the brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon in a small saucepan.

    Cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves.

    Brown sugar and butter melting in a saucepan.

    Stir in the banana liqueur and the dark rum.

    Add the sliced bananas to the pan and continue to cook until bananas soften.

    Sliced bananas and brown sugar sauce in a saucepan.

    Spoon sauce over waffles and serve dusted with powdered sugar.

    Four diagonal halves of Belgian waffles topped with Bananas Foster on a small plate.

    You can go crazy and pour the sauce over a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or add whipped cream to make it pretty.

    Recipe Notes & Tips

    • Now I do have to caution you, these babies contain alcohol. If you would like to burn more of the alcohol off, use a long lighter, you know the fireplace kind, and light the sauce on fire in the saucepan.....very carefully!
    • If you will not be eating all of the waffles in one sitting, do not pour the sauce over the top. Allow leftover waffles to cool completely and store in a zipper topped freezer bag in the refrigerator or freezer.
    • Reheat waffles in the toaster when ready to serve.
