Batter
15 If adding nuts, chop them now and set aside.
16 Plug in the waffle iron so it can heat up and turn your oven with a baking sheet inside to 200 F. See tips below if your oven doesn't go down to 200 F.
17 In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together both flours, baking soda, and baking powder.
18 Large bowl, add in the bananas, brown sugar, salt, vanilla, and soft or melted butter. Use a whisk to mix and semi break down the bananas. If your bananas aren't super soft, use a fork to give them a rough mash first.
19 Crack in the eggs and whisk again, lastly add in the buttermilk and whisk once more.
20 Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and whisk until just combined.
21 Add in the chopped pecans and mini chocolate chips. Use a rubber spatula and fold to combine.
Cook the Waffles
22 If not using a non stick waffle iron, spray the hot iron with an oil or butter spray or brush with a bit of oil or melted butter.
23 Use a ladle or large cookie scoop to scoop the waffle batter into the hot iron. Spread the batter out slightly with the back of the ladle or scoop just to even it out.
24 Cook the waffles according to your waffle iron and the lights or sensors on your iron.
25 Once cooked, carefully remove the waffle from the iron and place on the warm baking sheet in the warm oven.
26 Continue cooking the waffles until all of the batter has been used up.
27 To serve, I like to whisk together maple syrup and heavy cream to cream a bit of a maple cream and also a whipped brown butter or regular whipped salted butter. Plus a few slices of banana, chopped pecans, and then powdered sugar or maple syrup!
