The Best Banana Waffles
The Best Banana Waffles combine mashed ripe banana with basic waffle batter ingredients to create crisp waffles with a tender, flavorful inside. The recipe uses baking powder for lift and cinnamon for warmth, resulting in a subtly sweet waffle that carries the soft banana taste through each bite. They’re made by mixing the wet ingredients first, then carefully folding in dry ingredients before cooking in a waffle iron until golden. These waffles work well for breakfast or brunch and can be topped with syrup, fresh bananas, or whipped cream.
Ingredients
- 1 banana medium ripe
- 2 tablespoons canola oil light or vegetable oil
- 2 egg large
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/3 cups milk
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mash the banana thoroughly using a fork.
- Whisk in the oil and eggs until well combined.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon, and mix until just incorporated (do not overmix).
- Gradually pour in the milk, stirring until the batter is just smooth. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. You want the waffles golden and crisp.
- Transfer the cooked waffles to a wire rack.
- Serve the waffles warm with your choice of toppings, like maple syrup, fresh banana slices, or a bit of whipped cream.
