Banana Waffles with PB Syrup

 

The story goes, when my mother was preggers with my sister, she ate hot dogs.  Consequently, my sister loves hot dogs.  When my mother was preggers with me, she had PB and nana sammies.  So…yeah.  They are my crack.  Not tasted like Elvis.  Actually, I’ve never had it toasted from what I can remember.  It’s always been plain bread with PB and bananas.  No honey.  No jelly,  Just PB and nanas.  Simple.

 

Sometimes for a snack, I will grab a banana, the jar of peanut butter, and a spoon.  Yup.  I’d spoon PB on the banana and then take a bite.  Repeat until banana is gone.  Oh.  My.  Goodness that is good!

 

This is not your usual Jiff, Smuckers, or Skippy.  It’s not even Planters, though that’s pretty darn good.  It’s Kraft.  Have I told you about my long time addiction to this pb?  No?  Well, it started when I was in high school.  Let me back up a bit…

 

My mother is from Canada.  When my sister came home from her first year of college, we planned a trip across Canada to meet up with various cousins and what have you.  That is when I first was introduced to this addictive spread.  They were giving out samples at the restaurant like jelly packets at a HoJos.  And thus began my addiction.  And now I see there are many other flavors.  *sigh*  It is torture.  I cannot purchase these items here.  I would probably be as big as a house if I could.  I could eat my weight in this crack.

 

I can’t quite put my finger on why this is so much better than any other peanut butter.  It’s not as sweet.  It has a very peanutty flavor.  Even the lite isn’t like the Jiff RF or the Smuckers.  They’re gritty and just icky.  But the Kraft lite is as smooth and as creamy as the regular stuff.

 

Due to all of these elements of my culinary history and upbringing, I find all ways, shapes, and forms to marry these two delectable flavors.

 

I have been buying 2 bananas each week in case we have smorgasbord fruit salad for dessert.  Sometimes we do, sometimes we don’t.  If we don’t, then I have to toss the bananas in the freezer by the next weekend as they’ve started turning and I don’t want them to completely spoil

 

This means I have about 8 bananas in the freezer.  I wasn’t limiting myself to 2 bananas previously, but I am now.  For those that don’t now, when you’re bananas start to brown, and you’re not ready to cook with them just yet, toss them in the freezer.  Oh yes.  And there’s this 2 ingredients ice cream recipe that’s hit the blogosphere like wild fire.  Meh.

 

Anyway.  I put mine in the freezer to use later in baked goods.  They’re easy to mash and easy to use in recipes after they’ve been frozen and thawed.  I pinch t=-he top off and then squeeze out the thawed banana.  Just make sure you pinch the seed end about 1 inch from the bottom so you don’t get the bitter seed.  ICK.

 

When a large number starts to accumulate, that means it’s time for me to make something.  Today it was banana waffles for #SundaySupper.  Yes.  Banana waffles with peanut butter syrup for supper.  Heck. They could even be dessert!  They’re sweet and tasty.  #NOMS!

  1. If my husband finds out about this recipe, I will never be allowed to make "regular" waffles again. 🙂 Maybe I'll try it on his birthday coming up! Thanks for the awesome recipe.

  2. The peanut butter syrup sounds like such an interesting treat to top your waffle! I mean, I love peanut butter and banana already, so it makes perfect sense!

  3. I love banana and peanut butter together! For a snack (or sometimes dinner) I'll toast bread, spread peanut butter on thick and add sliced bananas for a sammich. My fave! I've never thought of combining these flavours in a waffle (what is wrong with me?!?!?!) so thanks for the inspiration. Do they now sell Kraft peanut butter where you live? Devastating! It's what I've eaten my entire life. I have a giant tub of it at home right now. You need to get your Canadian friends to ship it to you 😉

  4. We have breakfast for dinner all the time as well. my nephews love it. Your banana waffles look great. Thanks for the recipe.

  5. I bet my pb lovin' crew would love your waffles and your syrup! I need to start tossing my bananas in the freezer…I never think to do that with just one 🙂

  6. I love the story behind your PB love. I'm totally addicted to PB too- I have 5 different jars of nut butter at home. A little crazy? Maybe. I actually made banana waffles with chia seeds last week and they were amazing! Great minds think alike, huh?

  7. Are we twins? My favourite pb is Kraft (I am from Canada), however you can't get it in the US and I've been here 15 years! Maybe we should order a palette or something and just split it and live in peanut butter heaven. My relatives think I'm a weirdo for asking for them to mail me Shreddies and peanut butter all the time.

    Dear Kraft, why you so stingy with your peanut butter? Ship it international or at least let Amazon carry it!
