The Best Banana Waffles
These delicious banana waffles were something that I experimented with, and I'm not going to lie I was super skeptical at first. But the results joyfully exceeded my expectations!
They have such an incredible texture that kind of reminds me of my Aunt Jemima waffle recipe. But they stay softer and fluffier thanks to the waffle maker. Plus, they're way healthier, so they're a great waffle alternative for kids!
Not only is the texture awesome, but the flavor is out of this world, too. They're perfectly sweet with a subtle banana flavor, kind of like banana bread. They're delicious!
Why You'll Love This 3 Ingredient Waffle Recipe
Healthy waffles. Bananas are the main ingredient in these waffles, so they're way healthier than regular waffles.

Family favorite. Kids and adults both love these waffles! They're perfect for making a delicious and healthy breakfast the whole family will enjoy.
Ingredients Needed
- Bananas- make sure to use ripe ones.

Oh, and these waffles go great with this air fryer turkey bacon, so you might want to pick up some turkey bacon to make it on the side!
How To Make 3 Ingredient Waffles
1. Prep: Preheat the waffle iron of your choice. I like to use a mini waffle iron.
2. Make the batter: Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add the eggs to the mashed bananas and mix until combined. Add the coconut flour and fold it into the mashed banana and egg mixture until all of the ingredients are incorporated and a thick batter forms.
3. Cook the waffles: Spray the hot waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour the banana waffle batter into the greased waffle iron and close the lid. Let the waffles cook for a few minutes until golden brown on both sides.
4. Serve: Serve the fluffy banana waffles hot with anything you want, like fresh fruit and maple syrup, and enjoy!
Tips To Make The Best Recipe
- Add half a teaspoon of vanilla extract to complement the banana flavor.
- Add a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for a different flavor.
- Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top to give them a similar flavor as these churro pancakes.
- Fold chocolate chips into the batter to make chocolate chip banana waffles.
- Only pour enough batter to cover about ¾ of the waffle iron and spread it out.
- You'll know the waffles are done when steam stops coming out of the waffle maker, and they are firm on the surface.
- Serve the waffles with butter, maple syrup, sliced strawberries, or whipped cream.
How To Store These Banana Waffles
In the fridge: Wrap these 3 ingredient waffles in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store in a Ziploc bag for about 3 days.
In the freezer: To freeze homemade waffles, put the waffles on a baking sheet and flash freeze until solid. Then transfer them to a freezer bag and store them for up to 3 months.
Reheating: Put the waffles or frozen waffles in the toaster oven for a few minutes to make perfectly crispy waffles. It's just like having Kellogg's Eggo waffles but healthier since they're homemade banana waffles!
