Banana Waffles have the dreamiest crunch to softness ratio, and deliver the best flavor of subtle-yet-sweet banana fruitiness in this hearty breakfast dish that the whole family will salivate over and love.
Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the banana and use a fork to mash very well.
Add the oil and eggs, and beat to combine well.
Add the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon to the bowl, and stir until just combined.
Add the milk and stir until just combined.
Make the waffles according to the waffle maker's directions.
When one waffle is done, let it rest on a wire wrack, taking care not to stack the waffles.
Serve hot with your favorite toppings such a maple syrup, buttermilk syrup, sliced bananas, pecans, whipped cream, or even chocolate sauce, Nutella, or peanut butter on top.
Notes
You can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour without any issues; add an extra splash of milk if the mixture is too thick.
This is an easy recipe to scale up if you are cooking for a crowd.
You can use an overripe banana if you have one, but any yellow banana will still work great.
When the waffles are cooling, spread them out, cool them on a rack, and avoid stacking them.
