Description
Indulgent waffles topped with silky caramel and ripe bananas, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (260 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp fine salt
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 3/4 cups (420 ml) whole milk
- 1/3 cup (75 g) melted unsalted butter, plus extra for iron
- 2 ripe bananas (about 1 cup mashed)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar (for caramel)
- 6 tbsp (85 g) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream, warmed
- Pinch of flaky salt
Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron to medium-high (about 375°F) and brush with melted butter.
- Whisk dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with milk, melted butter, mashed bananas, and vanilla. Combine with dry mix until just moistened; let rest for 5–10 minutes.
- Make caramel: in a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat sugar over medium heat until it melts into an amber liquid. Add butter and stir until incorporated, then slowly add warm cream. Cook until glossy, then remove from heat and finish with a pinch of salt.
- Cook waffles for 4–6 minutes or until golden and crisp. Serve immediately with warm caramel drizzled on top.
Notes
Use ripe bananas for maximum flavor. Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine. Preheat the waffle iron fully for the best results.
