Buttermilk waffles with caramelised bananas, whipped cream and milk chocolate


So who doesnt love waffles? Honestly, they may be the best food in the world.
Eat them in the morning and its like eating dessert for breakfast. Except, its perfectly acceptable because waffles are totally a breakfast. Dontcha know.
I was pretty excited when I came across a cheapy waffle maker last week and after a weekend of work christmas parties for my husband, I now had the perfect occasion to whip some up. I mean, what better hang over cure then waffles?
I used buttermilk in this recipe because buttermilk just makes everything better. All fluffy and soft kind of better and, on this occasion, it didn't disappoint.
You can serve these waffles on their own with a bit of ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup, but if you really want to go all out, I highly recommend you make the caramelised bananas to go with it.

Now if you dont have a waffle maker, my bad. I bet you want one now.
