The Best Banana Waffles
Description
The Best Banana Waffles start with a medium ripe banana thoroughly mashed to provide natural sweetness and moisture to the batter. Eggs and canola oil are added for structure and richness, followed by sifting in flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and ground cinnamon to balance sweetness with a gentle spice. Milk is stirred in gradually until just combined, and the batter is rested briefly to hydrate the dry ingredients. Cooking them in a preheated waffle iron creates a crisp exterior and soft interior with the characteristic banana flavor throughout. This recipe yields waffles that are a good balance of tender and crisp, suitable for serving with a variety of toppings or enjoyed plain.
