Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 1/4 cups mashed banana
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Seasoning:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Thoroughly mash ripe bananas into a smooth consistency, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- In a separate mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to eliminate potential lumps.
- Whisk buttermilk, mashed bananas, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a separate container until uniformly blended.
- Gently fold wet ingredients into dry mixture, stirring minimally to prevent overmixing and maintain a light texture.
- Preheat waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly grease cooking surfaces to prevent sticking.
- Pour approximately 1/2 cup of batter into the center of the hot waffle iron, spreading evenly to reach edges.
- Close waffle iron and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crisp, avoiding opening too frequently.
- Carefully remove waffle using a fork or spatula, placing on a wire rack to maintain crispness and prevent sogginess.
- Repeat process with remaining batter, adjusting heat if necessary to achieve consistent coloration and texture.
Notes
- Mash ripe bananas thoroughly to ensure smooth, even texture throughout the waffle batter.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep waffles light and fluffy; a few small lumps are perfectly fine.
- Swap buttermilk with dairy-free alternatives like almond or oat milk for a vegan-friendly version.
- Let cooked waffles rest on a wire rack for a minute to maintain crispiness and prevent sogginess.
