My little ones love banana’s. When I buy them they eat a whole bunch in a few days while other weeks the bunch sits on my kitchen counter untouched. With 7 of us, soon 8 our grocery bill is quite hefty. I hate throwing food away. In the past I normally take the old bananas and made homemade banana bread but this time I was looking to make something different. So I came up with……..
- 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
- ¼ Tsp Salt
- ¼ Tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1 Egg, Lightly Beaten
- 1-1/2 Cups Almond Milk
- 2 Ripe Mashed Bananas
- You can use various toppings such as fresh fruit, honey or syrup
- Allow your waffle iron to get hot while you are preparing the ingredients.
- Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, egg and almond milk into mixer and mix. While this is mixing mash up 2 ripe bananas (I use the back of a fork to mash them) and then add them to the mixer and mix till all the ingredients are fully blended.
- I use an ice cream scooper to scoop out the waffle batter into the waffle iron.
- Once all the waffles are cooked add your preferred topping. Yum!
I am not exaggerating when I say my kids devoured these! Next time I make them I will triple the batch and freeze some for those busy mornings. We actually had this with dinner along with scrambled eggs but breakfast, dinner or even for a tasty dessert works too!

My husband is the banana eater here and is very picky about his bananas. If it has a brown spot on it he wont eat it.
Tara, he would’t even know it had a brown spot on it with this recipe!
I love tiramisu with bananas and I adore wafers! Thanks for sharing such an appetizing recipe! Pinned it
If I could only find my waffle maker I would totally make these!
We love bananas around our house! These look amazing 🙂
What a great idea! I love waffles, and this is such a delicious way to use those overripe bananas.
Wow! Great idea! I love bananas, too. The waffle looks tasty. My sisters will love it, too.
I am really amazed with all these banana recipes, especially the breakfast recipes like this! Another favorite of mine would be the pancakes made from bananas and eggs!
I have made that one too, perfect for low carb!
We make it into pancakes and smoothies. Waffles is another option now after reading this. 🙂 Thanks!
I have a lot of banana’s in my kitchen right now. I am looking forward to using them for some banana waffles
Wow yea this is genius I had no idea I will definitely be doing this.
Now I want a waffle maker! My bananas tend to go bad a lot. Would be a nice way to save them. I sometimes remember to freeze them to make banana cake.
Wow this would be a great recipe for tomorrow morning! We love waffles in our family. Looks really yummy and easy too!
Hat Ali do great! I got a waffle iron for Christmas! I’m loving this recipe!
I’d love to try banana waffles. They sound good to me. 🙂
We always save the ripe bananas for banana bread, but we’ll have to make your waffles next time.
What a great idea. I always use my ripe bananas to make bread with but waffles sound like a great weekend treat!
Wow this sounds delicious. I love waffles but have never tried banana waffles they sound amazing!
These looks so delicious and yummy! i love how easy it is to make them!
Good idea to use older bananas. I sometimes get bored with regular old banana bread, so waffles sound delish!
These looks so delicious, ill try them tomorrow for breakfast
Sounds like a yummy solution for bananas! I always have bananas around, mostly for adding to smoothies, sometimes for snacking or to add to cereal. I do like the old standby of banana bread or muffins, too!
This looks like an awesome recipe. I have never thought about saving the older banana’s for this. Thanks!
The fact that you home school your children is slightly alarming considering all of the grammatical errors throughout your blog…
Looks delicious! I love bananas. Thank you for the recipe
Bananas are a great ingredient for waffles, adds so much flavor and moisture to the batter. Thanks for the recipe.
Anyone make these?
