Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, milk, beaten egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with cooking spray or additional melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour approximately 1/2 cup of the batter onto the hot waffle iron for each waffle. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately, topped with your favorite toppings such as sliced bananas, maple syrup, or whipped cream.
Tips
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
- You can also fold in some chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
- If you have leftovers, these waffles freeze well! Just pop them in the toaster for a quick breakfast.
