Classic breakfast recipes like pancakes and waffles come in many flavours and countless ways of making them. But a delicious recipe doesn’t need to be complicated, or use expensive ingredients. Take these banana waffles, they are as simple as they can be, and you only need everyday ingredients: flour, egg, milk, banana, butter and baking powder. Plus, mashed banana for added sweetness.

Nothing else, well, apart from a waffle maker, which is essential. But, other than that, there is no need for much to enjoy some proper waffles to rival the ones in fancy restaurants – which, of course, will be quite expensive. The money you would spend in such a place can feed the whole family, so why not make them at home?

And there is no need for refined sugar, the mashed banana, if ripe and sweet, will do an excellent job here. Plus, if you choose to serve them with maple syrup, honey or any other syrup, you get extra sweetness from there, so no need for unnecessary empty calories.

HOW TO MAKE BANANA WAFFLES

For these waffles I used milk, but buttermilk can be used too, you might need to adjust the amount of buttermilk used, but you should need pretty much the same amount. Unlike pancakes, which need a smooth and thinner batter, the waffle batter is a bit thicker.

  • in a bowl, sift the flour, and add the baking powder
  • in a separate bowl, beat the egg, add the milk, melted and cooled butter, vanilla extract and mashed banana, and mix well
  • mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients
  • heat up the waffle maker, then divide the batter between each waffle plate, depending on the size of your waffle maker, you should get about 4 waffles
  • leave to cook for about 5 minutes or until golden brown

KEEP IT HEALTHY

Waffles take a lot less time to make than you’d think. Not that making pancakes is not as easy, but you do have to be at the stove top to keep flipping them, where with the waffles, you make the batter, into the waffle maker, and that’s it, you even have time to clean up the dishes until the waffles are ready and the next batch goes in.

I do like pancakes too, don’t get me wrong, and my Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes are as delicious (although with added naughty chocolate chips), and one of the most popular recipes on my blog. Same with my Healthy Banana Muffins for Kids (No Sugar). Ripe bananas are the best natural substitute to refined sugar, and you also get that subtle banana taste that I simply love.

Regular milk can be swapped for any plant-based milk, it should not make any difference to the amount of milk used. As for flour, you can also use wholewheat or wholemeal flour, although you might need a bit less than the regular white flour, just see how it goes, the batter needs to be thick, but not lumpy. Enjoy!
