Ingredients

Scale

1½ cups (6.75 oz) all-purpose flour
2 tbsp brown sugar (light or dark)
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
2 large eggs
1¼ cups (10 oz) buttermilk (or milk with 1 tbsp vinegar)
¼ cup (2 oz) unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins:

½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
½ cup mini chocolate chips
Pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth

Instructions

Preheat Waffle Iron:
Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease with non-stick spray or melted butter.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Prepare the Wet Mixture:
In another bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Combine:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy for fluffier waffles.
Cook the Waffles: 🍌🧇
Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron (about ½ cup per waffle depending on your waffle maker). Close the lid and cook until golden brown and crisp, typically 4–5 minutes.
Serve:
Serve warm with your favorite toppings: sliced bananas, fresh berries, chopped nuts, whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

Ripe Bananas: Use bananas with plenty of brown spots for the best natural sweetness.
Make Ahead: Freeze leftover waffles in a single layer. Reheat in a toaster for a crispy texture.
Vegan Option: Replace eggs with flax eggs, use almond milk, and coconut oil instead of butter.
