The bananas in this recipe serve to sweeten up the waffles and give them some moisture. Now, we’re using all-purpose flour here but if you are gluten intolerant, you can sub that for a gluten-free version. Eggs and milk help to hold the batter together and give it a slightly rich flavor. Remember, fresh and good quality ingredients lead to a tastier end product! Let’s get cooking!

How To Make Banana Waffles
_x000D_
_x000D_
- _x000D_
- Start by preheating your waffle iron. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and mashed bananas. Mix it all together.
- Next, pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until everything is evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could lead to tough waffles.
- Once your waffle iron is heated, lightly grease it and spoon in some batter. Cook the waffle according to the manufacturer’s instructions, or until golden brown.
- Continue with the remaining batter. And that’s it, you’ve made yourself some delicious Banana Waffles!
