Delicious and fluffy banana waffles made with overripe bananas, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–1/4 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar (lightly packed or granulated sugar)
- 2/3 cup banana (2 overripe bananas)
- 1 cup whole milk (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- to taste syrup (optional)
- to taste sliced banana (optional)
- to taste whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Thoroughly mash 2 overripe bananas and measure 2/3 cup. Set aside.
- Melt the butter and set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Warm the milk slightly in the microwave or let it reach room temperature naturally.
- Run un-cracked eggs under warm water to bring them to room temperature. Make sure all wet ingredients are the same temperature, or batter will get clumpy.
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
- Add brown sugar, mashed bananas, milk, vanilla, and eggs to the dry mixture. Whisk until combined.
- Continue whisking while slowly drizzling in the melted butter. Whisk until smooth. Don’t overmix.
- Let the batter sit for 10 minutes.
- Preheat your nonstick waffle maker according to the model’s instructions. Once heated, grease the iron, and add 1/3 cup of batter per cavity. Cook until each waffle is nicely crisped on both sides and cooked through in the center.
- Keep cooked waffles warm in the oven while finishing the batch or serve immediately with your choice of toppings.
Notes
- Note 1: Measure 2/3 cup of mashed banana for perfect consistency.
- Note 2: Use your choice of syrup for serving.
- Note 3: Keep cooked waffles warm in the oven if cooking in batches.
