Steps:
- Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.

- Add the milk and stir until just combined.
- Make the waffles according to the directions that came with your waffle iron.
- When one waffle is done, let it rest on a wire wrack, taking care not to stack the waffles (the steam they produce makes them soggy if you stack them on a plate).
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings such a maple syrup, buttermilk syrup, sliced bananas, pecans, whipped cream, or even chocolate sauce, Nutella, or peanut butter on top.

Steps:
- Whisk the eggs, bananas, coconut oil and vanilla in a medium bowl until completely combined. Vigorously whisk in the coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt until no lumps of dry flour remain.
- Prepare a waffle iron for medium-high heat and brush both sides with coconut oil. Fill each section of the iron about three-quarters of the way full (there should still be some waffle iron showing). Cook until the waffles are golden brown and slightly crisp, 6 to 10 minutes. Keep the waffles warm in a 200-degree F oven or covered with foil on a plate; repeat with the remaining batter. Serve with raspberries, a drizzle of honey and chopped pecans.

BANANA WAFFLES WITH TOASTED PECANS
This recipe is like a cross between crisp waffles and warm banana bread. I like my waffles crispy and the amount of butter in this batter gives these wonderful waffles a nice crisp. Beverage Recommendation: The toasted pecans and the sweet waffles pair nicely with a frothy cafe con leche (steamed milk added to a shot of espresso) or a mug of your favorite java.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350° and preheat waffle iron.
- Place pecans in a pie plate or on a baking sheet and spread out so that they are not touching. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly toasted and golden. Remove from oven and let cool. Coarsely chop and set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 225°.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, mix milk, melted butter and egg yolks. Slowly stir the liquid into the dry ingredients until JUST moistened - lumps are okay. Fold the 1/2" banana pieces into the batter.
- In a clean bowl with a hand mixer, beat or whisk the egg whites at medium speed until frothy. Increase the speed to high and beat or whisk until firm peaks form and hold their shape. Sprinkle both sugars in bowl and beat or whisk until the whites are stiff and glossy. Fold the whites into the batter until no streaks remain.
- Oil, spray or butter the waffle iron. Ladle batter onto each section of the grid rather than placing it in the middle. The grids should be full but not overflowing, or the batter will seep out the sides of the iron when the top is closed. Bake until the waffle is golden, about 6 minutes, depending on the iron. Carefully lift the lid; if the waffles resist at all, they need a bit more cooking time. Transfer the waffle to an oven rack to keep warm. Continue to cook the remaining batter in 3 batches. There should be no need to re-grease the iron between waffles.
- Place waffles on plates and serve with the toasted pecans, banana slices and warmed maple syrup.

BANANA WAFFLES
The most delicious waffles! Usually served as a snack or dessert. Also try them with Korean red bean paste instead of the banana, it's even better! I remember eating these while visiting Korea, and recreated the taste at home.

PECAN WAFFLES WITH ROASTED PECAN AND BANANA SYRUP
This was one of Emeril Lagasse's recipes, but he has since changed it. I love this version! I make it every year for Christmas, and my family looks forward to it. It is pretty easy to make, and I use my Belgium waffle maker, with the crisp option. It is so bad for you, but it is worth the splurge once in a while.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200°F.

Tips:
- To ensure fluffy waffles, make sure to separate the egg whites and yolks, then beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and airy texture.
- For a crispy exterior and a tender interior, cook the waffles on a hot waffle iron. If the waffle iron is not hot enough, the waffles will be soggy.
- To prevent the waffles from sticking to the waffle iron, grease it lightly with cooking spray or butter before each use.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- For a nutty flavor, toast the pecans in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- To make the waffles ahead of time, cook them according to the recipe and then freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer the waffles to a freezer bag and store them for up to 2 months. To reheat, toast the waffles in a toaster or oven until warmed through.
