Bananas Foster Belgium Waffles

• 6 ripe (but semi-firm) bananas
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup half n half
• 1 vanilla bean (or 1 t. vanilla)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon cardamon and nutmeg (fresh grated preferred)
• 1/4 cup banana liqueur (optional)
• 1/4 cup amaretto or dark rum (optional)
• 1/2-3/4 cups toasted pecans
• 1/2 cup maple syrup

1. If making the true Belgium waffles,Take your waffle mixture out of the fridge and divide into 6 pieces. Heat up your waffle iron. If you are making a traditional waffle, you can add sugar pearls to get a little of that carmelized sugar taste. (Lar's pearl sugar is a great brand)
2. Melt butter in skillet, add brown sugar. When sugar is bubbly, add half and half. Add vanilla, cinnamon, cardamon and nutmeg. Stir in bananas, carefully tossing to coat with carmelized sugar. Off heat add the banana liqueur, stir well, add the amaretto or rum and maple syrup. If feeling brave (and fire extinguisher is handy...) you may carefully ignite to flambe. If you worry about the alcohol, you can omit.
3. Add toasted pecans, toss to coat. Pour on top of finished waffles.
