Oatmeal-Banana Waffles with Strawberry Sauce

• 8 ounces strawberries, hulled and halved
• 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
• 3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
• 1/4 cup uncooked quick-cooking oatmeal
• 1/2 large banana, mashed
• 1/4 cup egg substitute or 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons canola or corn oil
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
• Cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons chopped pecans, dry-roasted

1. In a food processor or blender, process the strawberries and honey until smooth.
2. Pour into a small bowl.
3. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
4. (The sauce will keep for up to three days.
5. If you prepare the sauce ahead of time, you may want to let it come to room temperature before spooning it over the waffles.)
6. In a medium bowl, stir together the buttermilk, oatmeal, banana, egg substitute, brown sugar, and oil until the oatmeal is moistened.
7. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes to soften the oatmeal.
8. Meanwhile, preheat a waffle iron using the manufacturers directions.
9. Preheat the oven to 200F.
10. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
11. Set aside.
12. In a small bowl, stir together the flours, baking powder, and baking soda.
13. Whisk into the buttermilk mixture until the batter is just moistened but no flour is visible.
14. Dont overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
15. Lightly spray the heated waffle iron with cooking spray.
16. Spoon the batter for the first waffle over the waffle iron.
17. Following the manufacturers directions for timing, cook until the steaming stops and the waffle is golden brown.
18. Watch the first batch closely and adjust the time as necessary.
19. Transfer the waffle to the baking sheet.
20. Put in the oven to keep warm, uncovered, for up to 45 minutes.
21. Repeat with the remaining batter.
22. Top each waffle with about 2 tablespoons strawberry sauce.
23. Sprinkle each with about 1 teaspoon pecans.
