It's confession time, I don't really like things with banana in them. Without the banana texture, the flavor by itself tastes foreign. But that changed with these Banana Bread Waffles! Banana Story Time Have you ever had a banana-flavored candy? Or used Banana extract? It smells similar to banana, but it never tastes quite like it.
