Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the milk, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and sugar. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. It is okay if a few lumps remain; be careful not to overmix the batter.
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or a little butter.
Pour 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the batter onto the center of the waffle iron and close the lid. Cook the waffles for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Carefully remove the waffle and place it on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the banana waffles warm with your choice of toppings like sliced bananas, syrup, whipped cream, or nuts.
