1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups milk
1/3 cup melted butter
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons rum flavored extract
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup whole pecans

3 bananas, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
Preheat a Belgium waffle iron. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, white sugar, and salt in a bowl; set aside.

Bring to a simmer, the stir in the pecans and continue simmering for 1 minute. Stir in the pancake syrup and bananas, continue cooking until the bananas soften, about 4 minutes.
Beat the heavy cream, 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla and confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer in a medium bowl until firm peaks form.
Once waffles are done, spoon bananas Foster sauce over waffle and top with a dollop of whip cream.
