    Banana Waffles made with ripe bananas and simple ingredients, are perfect for starting your day off right.

    Are you ready to elevate your morning meal and tantalize your taste buds? Look no further than the easily adaptable Banana Waffles.

    These golden delights combine the classic comfort of waffles with naturally sweet bananas for a healthy and delightful breakfast experience the perfect.

    Get ready to take your breakfast game to the next level.

    waffles on a plate topped with whipped cream, bananas and chocolate syrup.

    What's do you think of making when you have very ripe bananas sitting on the counter? Banana Bread? Banana N'ice Cream? These waffles are a wonderful choice.

    I usually bake up a double batch and freeze the leftovers in a single layer on a baking sheet. Then I store them in the freezer in a zip to lock bag so my teen can pop them in the toaster oven for an easy breakfast on school mornings.

    Ingredients for Banana Waffles

    The ingredients for the basic waffles are pretty simple:

    • baking mix
    • very ripe banana
    • milk (your favorite kind)
    • egg
    • vegetable oil
    • optional mix ins: mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, brown sugar
    • optional for serving: maple syrup, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, nuts, banana slices

    I used my homemade baking mix for this, but you can use a store-bought mix (Bisquick, Jiffy, pancake mix, etc.). Or add the following to the recipe instead of the baking mix:

    • 1 cup flour
    • 1 Β½ teaspoons baking powder
    • ΒΌ teaspoon salt
    • ΒΌ cup shortening/butter

    Variation: Banana Pancakes

    If you want to make banana pancakes instead of banana waffles, just omit the oil and cook on a hot griddle until golden on each side.
