This year, we’ve combined the two into one fun recipe: Banana Split Waffles. The waffle becomes the split banana.

It’s timely, too August 24th is National Waffle Day and August 25th is National Banana Split Day.

Prep time is 10 minutes, total time 25 minutes. A round waffle maker is required. Thanks to Krusteaz for the recipe.

But first:

 
 
RECIPE: BANANA SPLIT WAFFLES

Ingredients For 4 Servings

For The Waffles

 
For The Fillings

[2] In addition to the “banana split,” a round waffle maker enables you to fold the waffles, taco style, to hold the fillings (photo courtesy All-Clad).

1. PREHEAT the waffle iron. To toast the nuts, preheat a dry, heavy skillet over medium heat, add the nuts and toast for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and give off a rich, toasty fragrance. Stir constantly for even toasting. Remove from the pan to cool.

2. WHISK all the waffle ingredients together in a medium bowl. The batter will be slightly lumpy.

3. POUR the batter onto the prepared waffle iron. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the waffles are golden brown, or according to the waffle iron directions.

4. FOLD the waffle into a small bowl and add the fillings.
