Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Freshly grated ginger (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray or oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, honey (or maple syrup), and freshly grated ginger if using.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 5

Lightly grease the waffle iron plates with non-stick cooking spray or brush them with oil.

Step 6

Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your waffle iron). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 7

Carefully remove the waffle and transfer it to a warm plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Step 8

Serve the waffles warm, topped with sliced bananas, whipped cream, maple syrup, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar, if desired.
