Notes

It’s important to mash the bananas very well until they are creamy and have no lumps left. A fork works well, or you can use a potato masher.
Let your butter cool slightly before adding it to the waffle mixture. It can be warm, but if it’s piping hot, it can actually make the batter too stiff.
Don’t overmix the batter. Mix only until no dry streaks of flour remain. There will be some small lumps, which will actually yield fluffier waffles!
If using a Belgian waffle maker, you will likely need more batter per waffle. Depending on its size, this recipe will yield 2 to 4 thick waffles.
Let the waffle iron reheat between each waffle. A very hot waffle iron is necessary for crispy waffles. Let the waffle maker reheat for about 30 seconds between each waffle.
To keep the waffles crisp: Place the cooked banana waffles on the rack in a single layer. If you pile the waffles up or put them directly on a tray or plate, the steam trapped between them will cause them to soften, and you will no longer have crispy banana waffles.

How to Store Leftovers

Refrigerating: Once completely cool, store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezing: Place cooled banana waffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and flash freeze until solid. Then, place them in a freezer-safe container or freezer bag with a piece of parchment or wax paper between each waffle to keep them from sticking together. They freeze well for up to 3 months.

Reheating: To quickly reheat banana waffles, you can microwave them for about a minute, but they will be soft if you use this option. To reheat crispy waffles, toast them in a regular toaster or put them in a 175°C oven or toaster oven or an air fryer at 160°C until warmed through.
