When our girls were young their daddy took charge of breakfast on school mornings, which was a lifesaver for my sanity. To make his job easier, sometimes I made and froze waffles and pancakes. Just like store-bought, those are easily popped in the toaster and are ready to eat in minutes. 

Homemade buttermilk waffles are also one of our favorite breakfasts for dinner. In fact, over the last few years I’ve shared several waffle recipes you might like:

Peanut Butter Banana Waffles

For this recipe, I used the little bananas that are called pisang mas or gold bananas in Malaysia, Oritos in Ecuador and Ouros in Brazil. They have thin skins and are quite small and super sweet. The reason for their name becomes obvious when you peel them. Check out the golden color! It took four of these little guys to make up a half cup or 120g. Of course, substitute your favorite variety of banana if you can't find these. In my waffle iron, this recipe makes 10 waffles.


Ingredients
1 cup or 125g all-purpose flour
1/4 cup or 30g whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 large egg 
1 cup or 240ml milk
1/2 cup or 120ml mashed banana
1/4 cup peanut butter
canola or other light oil for the waffle iron, as needed

To serve: butter and syrup (or honey)

Method
Mix the flours, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl. 


In a separate bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Whisk in the peanut butter, egg and milk. 


Preheat your waffle iron. 

Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture and fold till well combined.


If your waffle iron isn’t nonstick, brush the surface lightly with the oil. 

Use a ladle to fill the waffle iron with the appropriate amount of batter. Waffle irons can differ greatly in capacity so please consult your manual. 


Cook until the waffle is golden brown, approximately 5-6 minutes, depending on your waffle iron. Repeat until all of the waffles are cooked.

When I plan to freeze the waffles, I like to stack mine up like a house of cards when they are cooked so that they stay crisp on the outside as they cool. I find that when I stack them one on top of the other, the steam created softens them.

Serve the waffles warm, with butter and syrup, if desired.

You could even add some extra sliced bananas.
