Banana Waffles
A simple and delicious breakfast, banana waffles are quick to prepare with just a few ingredients. Perfect for busy mornings, they offer natural sweetness and fluffiness, along with the nutritional benefits of ripe bananas.
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas mashed for best texture
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour can substitute with gluten-free flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar adjust to taste
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk dairy or plant-based
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- ¼ cup melted butter or substitute with oil for dairy-free
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat while you prepare the batter.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth, leaving a few small chunks if desired.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas, mixing until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix; lumps are okay.
- Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Close the iron and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Carefully remove the waffles from the iron, serve hot, and enjoy with your favorite toppings.
