These thick and fluffy banana bread waffles are scented with warm cinnamon and naturally sweetened with ripe bananas. Your family will love this easy breakfast recipe!
In our house, there is nothing better than having pancakes or waffles for breakfast! Whether it’s my blueberry buckwheat pancakes,or fluffy pumpkin pancakes, my family is all in for leisurely breakfast meals!
Since my husband loves baking banana bread and my kids love eating banana bread, I decided to turn their favorite snack into a healthier waffle recipe. The end result was thick, fluffy and full flavor thanks to banana, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Whenever I make waffles, I like to add flaxseed meal to the mix for added health benefits including omega 3’s, fiber and protein. If you don’t have it, just add more flour.
The secret to making this waffle batter taste like banana bread is adding ripe, mashed bananas, cinnamon, and nutmeg. By using ripe bananas, there is no need to use any added sugar in this recipe. Additionally, adding fragrant, warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg add a ton of flavor without adding calories.
These waffles are delicious on their own but I love to serve them with additional banana slices, butter, and maple syrup.
