Banana Bread Waffles. Overripe bananas provide all of the sweetness in this delicious breakfast recipe! A sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg compliment this simple flavor and make it a family favorite!
Oh, breakfast… How I love you!
If we could eat breakfast for dinner every night we would. Mostly the kid and I. My husband definitely would not go for that.
Apparently he is a meat and potatoes kind of guy. Every now and again I can talk him into a little something sweet.
Especially if it is going to use those two overly ripe bananas that are begging to be used.
Those were the main inspiration for these:
Banana Bread Waffles
There are so many reasons to love this recipe. One of the top has to be that it calls for no added sugar.
All of the sweetness will come from your bananas. Make sure to use overly ripe ones to ensure a flavor packed winning recipe!
Alternatively, you can add a tablespoon of brown sugar straight to the batter. I know that sometimes you just do not have time to wait for those bananas on the counter to ripen. We have been there.
BAKING TIP: We always enjoy our waffles extra crisp. It is especially important for this recipe that you give them an extra minute or two in your waffle maker.
The batter is a little on the thick side which means it needs that extra time to reach the perfect texture.
