Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2–3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter or oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for GF option)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Batter: Start by mashing the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to evenly distribute the dry ingredients. Next, combine the mashed bananas with eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  2. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir just enough to combine; a few small lumps are perfectly fine. Overmixing can make waffles tough instead of light and fluffy.
  3. Heat Up the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with butter or non-stick spray to ensure your banana waffles don’t stick and come out perfectly crisp.
  4. Cook the Banana Waffles: Pour the batter evenly onto the waffle iron, using about ½ to ¾ cup per waffle depending on size. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually around 4-5 minutes, but time varies with each machine.
  5. Serve Fresh and Warm: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately for the best texture. If you’re making more, keep finished waffles warm in a low oven while cooking the rest.

Notes

  • Choose ripe bananas for sweeter, more flavorful waffles.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep waffles light and fluffy.
  • Preheat the waffle iron properly for even cooking and browning.
  • Serve waffles immediately for best taste and texture.
  • Adjust sugar to taste, as bananas provide natural sweetness.
