Transfer waffles to a baking sheet and keep warm, uncovered, in middle of oven. Make more waffles in same manner.
• Halve bananas crosswise and then lengthwise. Roll bananas in sugar to coat.

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, mix milk, melted butter and egg yolks. Slowly stir the liquid into the dry ingredients until JUST moistened - lumps are okay. Fold the 1/2" banana pieces into the batter.
• In a clean bowl with a hand mixer, beat or whisk the egg whites at medium speed until frothy. Increase the speed to high and beat or whisk until firm peaks form and hold their shape. Sprinkle both sugars in bowl and beat or whisk until the whites are stiff and glossy. Fold the whites into the batter until no streaks remain.
• Oil, spray or butter the waffle iron. Ladle batter onto each section of the grid rather than placing it in the middle. The grids should be full but not overflowing, or the batter will seep out the sides of the iron when the top is closed. Bake until the waffle is golden, about 6 minutes, depending on the iron. Carefully lift the lid; if the waffles resist at all, they need a bit more cooking time. Transfer the waffle to an oven rack to keep warm. Continue to cook the remaining batter in 3 batches. There should be no need to re-grease the iron between waffles.
• Place waffles on plates and serve with the toasted pecans, banana slices and warmed maple syrup.

• Pour 1 to 1 1/4 cup batter into grids of a preheated, lightly greased waffle iron. Close lid quickly and do not open during baking. Bake according to manufacturer's directions.
• When done use a fork to lift waffle from grid. Repeat with remaining batter. Keep waffles warm in oven while cooking remaining waffles. Serve with maple syrup.
