Banana Waffles are a delicious and wholesome twist on the classic waffle, adding natural sweetness and moisture from ripe bananas. These waffles are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and bursting with banana flavor. Perfect for a weekend breakfast or brunch, they are easy to make and pair wonderfully with a variety of toppings, such as fresh fruit, syrup, or even a dollop of whipped cream. The bananas not only provide a subtle sweetness but also make the waffles extra tender, creating a satisfying and flavorful meal that both kids and adults will love.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, combine the mashed bananas, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
- Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Cook the waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with butter or cooking spray. Pour enough batter to fill the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as sliced bananas, maple syrup, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
These Banana Waffles are the perfect way to enjoy the comforting flavor of bananas in a fun, crispy format, making them a delightful breakfast treat for the whole family!
