Method
- First, preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. You want it ready to go for the batter.
- In a medium mixing bowl, take your ripe banana and mash it thoroughly using a fork. Make sure to break it down well, as this will help it blend into the batter smoothly.
- Next, whisk in the canola oil and eggs until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and cohesive.
- Now, sift in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix gently until everything is just incorporated; be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense waffles.
- Gradually pour in the milk, stirring until the batter is just smooth. Let the batter rest for about 5 to 10 minutes, which helps the ingredients meld together.
- Once your waffle iron is preheated, pour the batter onto the center, making sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the amount. Close the lid and let it cook until the waffles are golden and crisp.
- Carefully transfer the cooked waffles to a wire rack to cool slightly. This prevents them from getting soggy while you finish the rest of the batter.
- Serve your warm Banana Waffles immediately with toppings of your choice, like maple syrup, fresh banana slices, or a bit of whipped cream. Enjoy the delightful breakfast together with your loved ones!
