This easy banana waffle recipe produces naturally sweet buttermilk waffles that are soft and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Perfect for a quick and delicious breakfast treat that combines the sweetness of ripe bananas with the tangy richness of buttermilk.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later.
  2. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly then add the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted unsalted butter. Whisk all the wet ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Mix Batter: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture, gently folding until you achieve a smooth, consistent batter without overmixing.
  4. Preheat Waffle Maker: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it’s hot and ready for the batter.
  5. Cook Waffles: Spoon an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook until the waffles turn lightly golden and become crispy on the outside. Cooking time will vary depending on your waffle maker.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the waffles carefully and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruits, or nuts for a perfect breakfast.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay to keep the waffles tender.
  • Preheating your waffle maker properly ensures crispier waffles.
  • Butter can be substituted with oil for a different flavor and texture.
  • Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or oven for a quick meal.
