About Banana Waffles

Waffles are generally served for breakfast. And if they are made with whole-grain flour, then it makes the perfect start to the day. I have not added any sugar to make these waffles. Instead, they have the natural sweetness of bananas.

Making banana waffles is an easy solution to use overripe bananas. My family loves these waffles, and I often make them for weekend breakfast or brunch. My son does not mind enjoying this waffle as a late afternoon or early evening snack.

Banana Waffles are eggless, made with whole wheat flour, earthy, wholesome, satisfying, naturally sweetened, and very delicious. They are full of banana flavors, and having them with maple syrup or honey is just so divine!

Ingredients

1. Whole Wheat Flour: I have used white whole wheat flour for this recipe. It has the same nutritional values as whole wheat flour. It is made from white soft wheat, making the flour pale in color and mild in nutty taste. But you do not need to use white whole wheat flour necessarily; you can use regular whole wheat flour instead.
2. Baking Powder: It makes the waffles light and fluffy. Do not use baking soda instead of baking powder.
3. Salt: It adds flavor and a contrast to the sweetness. But you can skip if you want.
4. Milk: Milk makes the waffles moist and soft inside. You can use whole milk or low-fat milk, but do not use fat-free dairy. Instead of dairy milk, you can also use almond milk.
5. Oil: I have used extra light olive oil. This oil does not have the typical olive oil flavor or taste. Instead of extra light olive oil, use other neutral-flavored oil, like sunflower, canola, or vegetable oil. 
6. Vanilla: It adds pleasant, warm, and sweet flavors to these banana waffles.
7. Bananas: Use overripe bananas to make these waffles. They will make the waffles naturally sweetened. You can also use frozen bananas, thaw them and then blend with the milk.

Step by Step Directions

• Pre-heat your waffle iron while you prepare the batter.
• Whisk whole-wheat flour, baking powder, and salt together until well combined.
• Set aside.

• Place diced bananas into the blender and add 1 cup of milk.
• Blend it into a smooth puree.

• Now take this banana puree into a large mixing bowl.
• To this, add 2 cups of warm milk, oil, and vanilla.
• Mix well.

• Add flour mixture gradually to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
• Do not overmix; if the batter is a little lumpy, it is fine.

• Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron.
• Cook the waffles as directed in the instructions of your waffle iron.
• Serve the eggless whole wheat banana waffles with your choice of toppings.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve the banana waffles with maple syrup and banana slices.
• You can also serve it with honey or agave syrup instead of maple syrup.
• Top the waffles with a dollop of whipped cream and some fresh berries.
• For a dessert treat, top the waffles with sweetener and vanilla ice cream.

Storing And Freezing The Waffles

• Store the leftover waffles in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Then, when you want to have it, warm it in the toaster, top with the desired toppings, and enjoy!
• You can also easily freeze the waffles for up to 3 months. After making the waffles, allow them to cool completely. Then place them in the freezer bag or container and freeze the waffles. When ready to eat, take out as many you want, warm in the toaster, and enjoy!

Helpful Tips

• I have used white whole wheat flour, which has the same exact nutritional values as whole wheat flour. The only difference is that it is made from white soft wheat, making the flour pale in color and mild in nutty taste. But you can use the regular whole wheat flour. Also, you can swap half of the whole wheat flour with the all-purpose flour.
• If you like your waffles very sweet, you can add 2-3 tablespoon of sugar to the batter.
• Do not overmix the batter; otherwise, waffles will come out dense and chewy.
• You can make these waffles in a big batch and freeze them for up to 3 months.
• You can add some ground cinnamon or nutmeg and mix it with the dry ingredients for more flavor.
• For a banana chocolate treat, add some chocolate chips to the batter.
• If you want to reheat the waffles, simply toast them like a bread slice, and serve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Make It Vegan?

Yes! Instead of using dairy milk, use almond milk. Or you can also use cashew milk. If you are okay with coconut flavor in your waffles, you can also use coconut milk.

Can I Add Other Fruits or Chocolate Chips to the Batter?

You can mix in fresh or frozen blueberries in the batter and then make the waffles. The chocolate chips will also taste great in these waffles. After adding blueberries or chocolate chips, you can still freeze the waffles.
