πŸ§‡ Enjoy the rich, nutty flavor and crispy texture of Brown Butter Banana Waffles, perfect for a satisfying breakfast or brunch.
🍌 These waffles combine wholesome whole wheat and all-purpose flours with ripe bananas and browned butter for a deliciously unique twist.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes plus cooking time
  • Yield: 6-8 waffles 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced

3 large eggs, separated

2 cups buttermilk

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3 medium very ripe bananas

Instructions

First Step: Preheat a waffle iron to get it nice and hot. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg; set aside.

Second Step: To brown the butter, heat a thick-bottomed skillet on medium heat, add the sliced butter, and whisk frequently until it’s melted, foaming, and forms brown specks with a nutty aroma; remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Third Step: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, buttermilk, browned butter, honey, and vanilla, then pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Fourth Step: Mash the bananas with a fork in a separate bowl and stir them into the batter.

Fifth Step: Beat the egg whites with a mixer until stiff but not dry, then gently fold them into the batter.

Sixth Step: Ladle the appropriate amount of batter onto the hot waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until the waffles are golden brown on both sides, about 5 to 6 minutes.

Final Step: Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200 degrees F oven. For crispy results, learn more about banana benefits that enhance this recipe.
