Second Banana
Jul 29th, 2008 by Marilyn
And they say there are no second acts.
Remember these?
Somehow, a few caramelized bananas escaped Josie’s ice cream bowl, and let me tell you, that’s no small feat. They sat in the refrigerator quietly until Sunday morning, when I whisked them back to the counter…
…and pressed them into service. Literally.
At first glance, a handful of formerly sizzled bananas don’t look so hot – but after a toss through batter and a trip through the iron, they look delicious. They look like Caramelized Banana Waffles, and Sunday morning suddenly recalls the sundae last night.
We bite into the creamy-crisp bananarama’d waffles and I realize…they’re gone. No more toasty bananas. Oh, it will be a cruel, cruel summer and now I’m getting misty about the leftovers. Clearly there’s only one thing to do:
Make more!
“Bananarama’d….” and then, “cruel, cruel summer”. Hilarious!! And those waffles look really yummy. BTW, made your nachos at the firehouse tonight for supper. Gone. In sixty seconds. Well, maybe a little longer than that…but not much! We added lots of sliced jalapenos on top, and sour cream on the side.
Mmmm. I love waffles. Great idea for using up bananas. I’m going to have to try this myself.
I’m coming to your house for breakfast! What a great way to use bananas — so much more fun than one more loaf of banana bread.
Jayne:
Glad they enjoyed the nachos – firefighters (and dispatchers, too) are a notoriously tough crowd!
Susan:
Between banana bread, waffles and muffins, they’ll never go to waste!
Lydia:
You’re welcome on Sunday any time. Orange or grapefruit juice?
oh me. you’ve inspired me to make some bananarama’d pancakes, to be topped with peanut butter AND maple syrup. yes, that’s exactly what i’m craving now.
Oh my, those look fantastic. Do share your waffle recipe! I’ve been searching all over for a really good one to no avail!
Great idea for leftover bananas. I love banana pancakes but have never had banana waffles. Sounds yum!
I showed this to the Fiance last night…he has a new obsession.
Those waffles sound great!
those look great.! mmm caramelized bananas! talk about wonderful waffles!
Grace:
Really, peanut butter-maple-banana waffles? Stop it, that hurts!
Danny:
Welcome, and I promise to get a waffle recipe up soon. Everyone needs a good one.
Hillary:
I like banana pancakes, too – but the crisp waffle plus creamy banana is especially good.
Jean:
Have you been served Banana Waffles in bed yet?
Kevin:
Thank you, and welcome!
Lin:
Welcome! Caramelized bananas make anything ten times more wonderful.
