By carvalhohm

Flaky waffles couldn't be easier to make! Start with a can of refrigerated crescent rolls and top with a yogurt and preserve mixture, top with bananas and toasted pecan pieces. Try different flavors of yogurt and different fruits to make your own fruity waffle.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup pecan pieces
• 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls, 8 rolls
• 1/2 cup blueberry spreadable fruit
• 1 (6-ounce) container blueberry yogurt
• 1 firm ripe banana, cut into 1/4-inch slices
• 1/2 cup whipped cream
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Fresh blueberries, if desired

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 200°F. Heat square or rectangular waffle maker. Spray with no-stick cooking spray.

Meanwhile, in a 8-inch nonstick skillet, toast pecans over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned. Remove from skillet; set aside.

Separate crescent dough into 8 triangles. Place 2 or 3 triangles at a time on waffle maker, leaving at least 1/2 inch of space around each triangle. Close lid of waffle maker; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown. Place cooked waffles on cookie sheet in oven to keep warm.

In 1-quart saucepan, heat spreadable fruit and yogurt over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot.

To serve, stack 2 crescent waffles, slightly overlapping, on each of 4 serving plates. Spoon 1/4 of the fruit sauce over each serving; top each serving with 1/4 of the banana slices and 1 tablespoon of the pecans. Top with whipped cream; sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Garnish with blueberries.

Serves 4

Blueberry Preserves can be substituted for the spreadable fruit.
