Banana waffles are a decadent, delicious, and versatile waffle that will delight even the harshest waffle critics. At once chewy, fluffy, crispy, and brimming with banana flavor, banana waffles are deceptively simple to make and come together in no time. They can be dressed down for a leisurely weekend breakfast, dressed up for a lavish brunch, or used as a centerpiece for any brunch or breakfast platter.

  • ¼ cup regular milk (for blending the bananas)
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  • In a separate bowl mix together buttermilk, egg yolks and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Blend or mash together the bananas and milk until you have a smooth puree.
  • Add the banana puree to the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix to combine.
  • Add the wet ingredient mixture to the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Slowly stream melted butter into the waffle mix while whisking constantly until the butter has fully incorporated and the mixture is homogeneous.
  • Using a clean whisk, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
  • Fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined and do not overmix.
  • Let the waffle batter rest for 10 minutes.
  • While the batter is resting, preheat your waffle iron.
  • Grease the waffle iron and fill ¾ of the way full and gently close until it has shut completely.
  • Cook until golden brown and puffed, anywhere from 3-8 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
  • Repeat until you’ve used up all of your batter.
  • Serve warm and enjoy with your preferred toppings!
