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.

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup mashed overripe bananas (2 to 3 bananas)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for brushing and serving

Pure maple syrup, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F with a baking sheet on the middle rack. Preheat a waffle iron to medium heat.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
