If you love banana bread even half as much as my family does, I promise that you will love these easy Banana Waffles. They meet the craving for banana bread with a light and fluffy waffle, perfect for any topping you choose.
As with so many recipes, this one was inspired by the ingredients already in the kitchen. A bunch of very ripe bananas met my son’s request for waffles. I played with our favorite waffle recipe a bit and the result is a beautifully crisp waffle that is almost unbelievably light and fluffy inside.
I am so giddy over these banana waffles that I made them twice this week, just to make sure they were as perfect as I remembered. And yes, they really are amazing. On their own, or topped however you like, these Banana Waffles are great any day of the week.
