Fluffy Banana Waffles

Ingredients

All-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups

Baking powder

2 teaspoons

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Granulated sugar

2 tablespoons

Ripe bananas

2, mashed

Milk

1 cup

Egg

1, beaten

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Butter

3 tablespoons, melted

Cooking spray or additional melted butter

for greasing waffle iron

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, milk, beaten egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
3. 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.
4. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with cooking spray or additional melted butter to prevent sticking.
5. 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.
6. Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately, topped with your favorite toppings such as sliced bananas, maple syrup, or whipped cream.
