Bloom the yeast in room temperature milk with a bit of sugar until active and bubbling.

Mix together the dry ingredients, including dark brown sugar, ensuring there are no chunky bits.

Add the wet ingredients (eggs and milk mixture) to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Incorporate butter into the mixture, noting that it will be a sticky dough.

Cover the dough and let it rest in the fridge overnight or on the counter until doubled in size (2-2.5 hours).

After resting, sprinkle in half of the Belgian pearl sugar, mix, then add the remaining half.

Let the dough sit for 15 minutes to allow for secondary proofing and flavor development.

Grease the waffle iron with butter to prevent sticking due to the sugars.

Cook the dough in the waffle iron until desired doneness is achieved.

Serve the waffles with sliced bananas and powdered sugar.
