By now you know how much I adore making recipes with bananas. There is always at least one bunch on our counter waiting for snack time.  I’m just over here waiting for everyone to forget about the yellow fruit, so I can bake more banana treats.

We usually make these Banana Pancakes, but this week I decided to change it up and make a batch of banana waffles for breakfast. A few tweaks to these Spiced Apple Waffles, and I had a new breakfast favorite. 

Sure, you could make waffles from a box mix, but waffles from scratch are just as easy and taste so much better. Trust me. Homemade waffle batter is quite simple and easy to make in minutes.

These Homemade Banana Waffles are absolutely delicious with nothing on them, but they are even better with a few toppings added to the top. 

Toppings for Banana Waffles:

• Maple Syrup or Honey
• Chocolate Syrup
• Peanut Butter or Nutella
• Chocolate Chips
• Fresh Fruit – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries
• Caramelized Bananas
• Nuts – walnuts, pecans, almonds
• Cool Whip or Whipped Cream – try this homemade Chai Whipped Cream for a fun treat
• Cinnamon

Try one or more of these waffle toppings for a decadent cafe breakfast in the comfort of your home. My favorite combo was caramelized bananas, Cool Whip, and cinnamon!

Our kids devoured these soft and fluffy waffles in no time at all. In fact, they both agreed that these waffles tasted like banana bread.

How to make Banana Waffles from Scratch:

1. Stir together all your dry ingredients in a bowl. (full recipe is at the bottom of the post)
2. Create a “hole” in the center of the dry ingredients.
3. Add the eggs, oil, milk, vanilla, and mashed bananas to the bowl and gently mix until everything is combined.
4. Let the batter sit for about 10 minutes while your waffle iron heats up.
5. Place spoonfuls of waffle batter on a greased heated iron and cook for 3-5 minutes.
6. Remove with a fork and place on a wire rack.
7. Add your favorite toppings and serve hot.

Hot fluffy banana bread waffles will have everyone racing to the breakfast table in a hurry.

Tips for Homemade Banana Waffles:

• Do not over mix your waffle batter. Too much mixing can create a waffle that is chewy and tough. It’s ok if there are some lumps in your batter.
• Know your waffle iron and how it cooks. All of them are different and will cook differently. I like to use a small Dash waffle maker, so that they fit in our toaster for reheating later.
• Place cooked waffles on a wire rack to cool. Stacking hot waffles will result in soggy waffles.
• Refrigerate uneaten waffles in a covered container. These will keep for 4-5 days.
• Freeze a batch of banana waffles for later. Place them on a parchment lined tray and freeze for 30 minutes, then place in a freezer safe bag for up to one month.
• Use a toaster to add a crisp outside to refrigerated or frozen waffles.
