These waffles tick all of the boxes for banana bread lovers. They cook in less than half of the time it takes to bake a loaf of banana bread. If you have waffles left over, you can reheat them the next day in a toaster oven until crisp, in just about a minute. These are great with maple syrup and jam but would also be delicious spread with peanut butter or cream cheese or drizzled with chocolate sauce.
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F with a baking sheet on the middle rack. Preheat a waffle iron to medium heat.
Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla in a large bowl; whisk in the mashed bananas. Add the dry ingredients and fold with a rubber spatula just to combine; do not overmix. Stir in the melted butter.
Brush the waffle iron with butter. Add a heaping 1/3 cup batter per waffle; close the lid and cook until the waffles are deep golden and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Keep the waffles warm in the oven while making the rest. Serve with butter and maple syrup.
