    Banana Bread Waffles

    This recipe is always a hit at brunch and at sleepovers! I love setting up a waffle bar and letting everyone add their own toppings! I make the waffles ahead of time and let everyone warm them up in the toaster and have fun adding their own toppings.

    Who doesn’t love a good banana bread recipe? It makes a fun breakfast for dinner too.

    These are so good my teenage son just forgot his phone in the kitchen because he was focused on eating and then he asked for seconds.

    How to Make Waffles in a Pan

    If you don’t have a waffle maker, you can still make these waffles by preparing them in a pan. They won’t look like waffles, but will still taste delicious.

    1. Follow the above instructions to prepare your waffle batter.
    2. Carefully scoop a spoonful or so of batter into the pan to form your waffles.
    3. Cook, as if cooking pancakes, until brown on one side, then flip. When the batter is ready to be flipped, the edges will whiten and the top will bubble slightly. Waffles in a pan will turn out slightly thicker than pancakes.

    Waffle Toppings

    You can enjoy much more than just classic butter and maple syrup on your banana waffles! Here are a few suggestions:

    • Banana slices
    • Chopped nuts
    • Chocolate Chips
    • Butterscotch Sauce
    • Berry Compote
    • Whipped cream
    • Ice cream

    How to Freeze Waffles

    1. Let the waffles cool. Then, place them on a baking sheet in the freezer until frozen solid.
    2. Once frozen, transfer to freezer-safe plastic bags and label with the date.
    3. When ready to enjoy, pull from the freezer and toast until reheated.

    This homemade waffle recipe will last up to 3 months in the freezer.

    Recipe Tips

    • Make sure to use ripe bananas! They will make a much more flavorful banana bread batter.
    • Let the waffle iron heat up before you add the waffle batter.
    • Leave some lumps in the batter—it’s better that way.
    • You can reheat waffles in the toaster or place them in the oven at 250°.
    • If you’re making multiple batches, you can keep your first few waffles warm by setting them on a baking tray in the oven on very low heat.
    • Cook for longer for crispier waffles.

    Kid and husband approved. I used cottage cheese instead of sour cream.They came out great!

      Peanut butter and maple syrup mixed together is one of my favorites!! It would be lovely with these waffles for sure, but is also great on toast or ice cream.

      These were delicious! Made them for my 8 year old’s bday supper for a special treat. My teen couldn’t stop eating them. “They look like waffles, but it’s like I’m eating banana bread!” We didn’t need syrup at all! Loved them. 🙂 Thanks for the recipe.

        Hi Ben! 1 stick of butter would weigh about 4 ounces or 113 grams. Thank you for your question!
