Today we talk these soft & fluffy peanut butter banana bread waffles! 

Which came about because I’ve been trying to use my waffle maker more often. I even moved it to a place where it’s not such a pain to reach. 

But as crazy as it may seem, we rarely eat waffles freshly made (because this girl is way too busy being lazy on weekend mornings and never gets her act together in time for breakfast).

Instead I make a batch when I have time and freeze them.

Leading to waffles for breakfast all week long.

I just thaw one out either overnight in the fridge or in the microwave and then pop it straight into the toaster. Crispiness ensues and it is delicious.

{PS if your waffle maker makes thinner type waffles, you could just pop it right into the toaster. Mine makes thicker ones and they don’t quite heat all the way through if I go that route.}

About These Peanut Butter Banana Waffles

So the base for these waffles is filled with plenty of banana, along with a little bit of spice and some creamy dreamy peanut butter.

The banana taste is pretty prominent, while the peanut butter is more of a subtle background thing.

They aren’t overly sweet, which is exactly how I like them because that means … more toppings!

My favorites? A healthy smear of additional peanut butter, a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of walnuts and some fresh fruit.

Just go ahead and make that happen.

Peanut Butter Banana Bread Waffles

Yield: about 8 (4x4 inch) waffles
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Soft and fluffy, these peanut butter banana bread waffles make for the perfect breakfast! Packed with mashed banana, peanut butter and warm spices, they’re fantastic served with your favorite toppings. Refined sugar free, dairy free and vegetarian.

Ingredients

For the waffles:

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup white whole wheat flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup well mashed banana (about 3 medium ripe bananas)
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil, cooled slightly*
  • ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter (I use natural peanut butter)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup honey

Serving ideas:

  • additional peanut butter
  • sliced bananas or other fruit
  • drizzled maple syrup or honey
  • chopped raw walnuts

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together both kinds of flour, the baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, banana, milk, coconut oil, peanut butter, vanilla and honey.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until combined (the batter will be a little lumpy).
  4. Preheat a waffle maker. When hot, pour the recommended amount of batter into the waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cook until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  5. Serve with desired toppings!

Notes

These waffles freeze really well. Let the waffles cool completely after cooking, then wrap each individually in plastic wrap. Add all the wrapped waffles to a freezer-safe plastic bag and freeze.
