Ingredients

Scale
  • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup 1% milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • Optional toppings: maple syrup, honey, whipped cream, chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate small bowl, beat the egg lightly, then add the milk and whisk together.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
  5. Lightly spray the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray.
  6. Pour approximately 2 tablespoons of waffle batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron.
  7. Quickly arrange 2 banana slices on top of the batter.
  8. Pour another 2 tablespoons of batter over the banana slices to cover them.
  9. Close the waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-5 minutes.
  10. Carefully remove the waffle using a fork or tongs.
  11. Repeat steps 5-10 with the remaining batter and banana slices.
  12. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra banana flavor, mash one of the bananas and mix it into the batter, then slice the second banana for layering.
  • These waffles pair perfectly with maple syrup, honey, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
  • Try adding ½ teaspoon of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the batter for additional flavor.
  • Leftover waffles can be frozen. Place them in a freezer-safe bag with parchment paper between each waffle. Reheat in a toaster for a quick breakfast.
  • For a healthier version, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
  • Ripe bananas with some brown spots work best as they’re sweeter and more flavorful.
