Ingredients
- 8 to 10 Gluten-Free Van’s Waffles
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon half-and-half
- 2 tablespoons butter
- tiny pinch salt
- 1 banana, sliced into 1/4-inch thick pieces
- optional: toasted walnut pieces
- optional: whipped cream
Instructions
Prepare the Caramel Sauce
- First, make a quick caramel sauce on the stovetop by melting the butter, brown sugar, and half-and-half together.
- It’s critical to keep stirring the mixture over low heat to prevent the sugar from burning.
Add Banana and Walnuts
- After the caramel sauce is ready, add sliced bananas and walnuts to the mix.
- Cook for an additional minute to allow the bananas to warm up and become fully coated with the caramel sauce without turning mushy.
- For the best texture and flavor, choose firm and not overly ripe bananas.
Toast the Walnuts
- (Optional but recommended) Toasting walnuts enhances their flavor and crunch.
To toast, add walnuts to a preheated skillet over medium-high heat, let them toast for about a minute, flip, and toast until they turn a few shades darker and emit a delicious aroma.

Tips and Tricks
- Don’t Overcook Bananas: Avoid cooking the bananas too long to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Caramel Sauce Preparation: You could prepare the caramel sauce in advance as it stores well in the fridge. However, add bananas and walnuts only when ready to serve, since warm bananas can quickly become mushy.
- Storage: Store any leftover caramel sauce (without the bananas) in the fridge, tightly covered, for up to two weeks. Make small batches including the bananas as they don’t store well.
