Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1.5 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups chopped walnuts
- cooking spray or melted butter, for waffle iron
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bananas. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the chopped walnuts to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter.
Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the waffle iron (typically about 1/2 to 3/4 cup depending on the waffle maker). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or additional chopped walnuts.
