Get out of a waffle rut and use up some of those brown bananas! These easy to make and customizable Homemade Banana Waffles from scratch will be your new weekend favorite!
Have I mentioned lately how much my husband and I love bananas? Between the multiple banana ice creams, the banana pecan muffins, and the whole wheat banana pancakes, of course we’d make Homemade Banana Waffles. Especially now that I keep sliced bananas in our freezer at all times to be able to whip up some Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream whenever the craving hits.
This Banana Waffles recipe is courtesy of my mother-in-law Gail’s Book. The Book of recipes she gave to the boys. The Book that I adore not only because of the recipes and the memories it holds for my husband, but also for her footnotes. Like for this recipe she says that it it’s not as good as the Fudge Brownie Waffles (omg I can’t wait to make these), but it’s close. Also, since this recipe calls for only the egg yolks, she says never let a good egg white go to waste, look through the book for the Meringue Kisses recipe. So. Awesome.
Even better, as an anniversary gift from my mom, she sent us this amazing NH Maple syrup. So it was like a breakfast ode to both our moms!
Annndd my girl Stephanie over at The Cozy Cook has been making so many amazing things with her waffle iron, I had to have one so I had just gotten this guy delivered and was sooo excited to use it.
And I love it. Look at those waffles!
With plenty of maple syrup and sliced bananas…
So. freaking. GOOD. Homemade Banana Waffles for the win!

These were so good! Really easy to make and really, really nice! Thank you for sharing!
SO glad you enjoyed them, Alex!
I made these this morning, and they were pretty good. I did have to add more than the 1 cup of flour, as the batter was too wet. The banana flavor is definitely there which I love, but they would not get crisp. I even cooked them twice as long as I usually do for waffles. May try them again with some adjustments to see if I can get them to crisp. Also add some chocolate chips after adding the batter to the waffle iron.
Just made these and they are delicious! I forgot to add the butter and they re just fine without it. I also added quite a bit of nutmeg and allspice. FYI.
Thanks for the great recipe. Less food waste.
Ooh that’s great to know, thank you!! Love that addition of all spice and nutmeg!
Hey,
From the Netherlands here, made these today and we loved them. Used one whole egg and one yolk aand they turned out really light and tasty. Will be making them more often for sure.
Hello Roeland in the Netherlands!! Sooo glad your enjoyed it!!
Wow! Delicious. Thank you for the recipe.
So glad you enjoyed it!!
These are so delicious! They’re perfectly moist and sweet because of the bananas. This weekend marks the third weekend in a row that I’ve made them.
Wow that’s GREAT to hear, Olga!! I’m so happy you love them as much as we do!
Great recipe! I made these this morning and my kids and husband loved them! I used chocolate syrup. Thank you for posting.
Ooooh chocolate syrup!! Yummm! Thanks so much for letting me know, JJ! So glad you guys enjoyed them!
I made these today. The recipe was perfect with just one cup of flour. They were delicious and we ate them plain. They were light and fluffy and just the right amount of sweet.
That’s so wonderful to hear, Chantel! So glad you enjoyed them!
I used this recipe and loved it. I did use the whole egg. Also I cut butter in half., but I have a nonstick iron.. no problem with one cup of flour.
That’s great to hear, Judy! So glad you enjoyed it!
I just made these and they are delightful and kid approved! I made them according to the instructions and went a little heavy on the one cup of flour, but didn’t need the extra half, and the consistency was perfect.
