This is a great way to use bananas that are too ripe to eat on their own. Serve with candied pecans or walnuts and real maple syrup.
Having just read a great article about healthy substitutions, I wanted to try this healthy recipe and see if I could apply what I read. I used low fat buttermilk for the milk, cut the oil in half and used unsweetened applesauce for the other half. Because of that, I would recommend not using the vanilla. They came out great! Thanks for a good recipe!

My husband and I really like these waffles. I did make some modification to this recipe. I used soy milk. The all purpose flour was replaced with whole wheat pastry flour. I had olive oil instead of canola so I used it.
Great recipe! It made 6 fluffy, light waffles. Sometime ww flour can produce dense breads, but one was great. I took the advice of other reviews and used 1/4 cup of apple sauce and 1/4 cup of coconut oil. I still used vanilla extract, despite one of the comments and would do it again because i think it needs it. I also added a bit of cinnamon because i love the combination with bananas. I was pleasantly surprised that I did not need to add sugar! For those who like it sweeter, if you add some syrup or confectioners sugar, it's just right. Definitely a keeper!
Spent years trying different waffle recipes (books and google searches) - usually to use up those last two bananas that all-of-a-sudden-went-brown. This is hands-down the best recipe. I didn’t realize that I had run out of whole wheat flour so used all white. I was concerned that batter was too thin but they all came out perfect - light and fluffy. Used melted coconut oil for the waffle iron. Super pleased and the Littles were, too!
Added a bit of cinnamon and they tasted delicious. Perhaps next time they needed a bit more time as, after 4 minutes, they were just a bit soggy.
Made recipe with a quarter cup oil, and a quarter cup apple sauce, as per the other reviews. It was a hit.
My family really loved these waffles. I did make some modifications. I used a combination of oat bran and ground flax instead of the all purpose flour. I used almond milk instead of regular milk and I added a tsp of cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg. They were delicious!
This is a great recipe. I made it using the ingredients listed in this recipe, and the waffles turned out light and fluffy and quite tasty. I made this for 2 people, and I had enough to freeze for another meal. I used bananas that had been frozen, and I just thawed them in the fridge and then mashed them. Definitely a keeper!

These are fabulous. The only change I made was to use 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce and 1/4 cup of canola oil. Cooked them in my Belgian waffle maker. Took almost 3/4 cup of batter per waffle. Topped it with a few walnuts and sugar free syrup. Filling Sunday breakfast with plenty of leftovers for the week. Hopefully they will heat up well in the toaster.
I used fat free half and half instead of milk. I added 1 tsp. each of cinnamon and vanilla. These waffles tastes like banana bread, very tasty.
Delicious! I put all the wet ingredients (including the banana) and spices into a blender and pureed for a few seconds before adding to the dry ingredients. I sprinkled chopped walnuts on top just before closing the waffle maker. I will definitely be making these again.
I made them as written and they are delicious! Nice and crisp with a great banana flavor that isn’t overpowering.
These were great! I added 4 scoops of protein powder (not sweet, just whey protein), used plain yogurt in place of the oil and added 1/3 cup of ground flaxseed to up the nutritional content. They were great- didn't need much syrup because of the bananas. Thanks so much!
Super delicious! I used egg substitute to make it even healthier and they were great...definitely a favorite!
Will definitely make again. I doubled it for my large family and used my mixer. Loved that I could use up all the overly ripe bananas
Made per the recipe instructions and toddlers and adults both really enjoyed them. Definitely making again.
