Elvis famously loved peanut butter and banana sandwiches, often with bacon. It was that delicious combo that led to these family-friendly waffles. I think the King would approve!

Cooks' Note

I love these peanut butter and banana waffles with a thin layer of peanut butter smeared over the top and a drizzle of maple syrup. They’re also great topped with chopped fresh strawberries for a PB&J waffle, and my husband loves these topped with crumbled bacon and maple syrup.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 10 waffles

Ingredients

2 bananas
1/4 cup all-natural peanut butter
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extact
1 3/4 cups unsweetened almond milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Olive oil spray

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat a waffle maker. Preheat the oven to 200˚F

    Step 2

    In a medium bowl, use the back of a fork to smash the bananas with the peanut butter. Add the eggs, vanilla, and almond milk and whisk to combine. Set aside.

    Step 3

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix until just combined.

    Step 4

    Spray the waffle maker with olive oil spray. Spoon 1/3 cup batter into the waffle maker and cook until lightly browned, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. As the waffles are done, transfer them to a baking sheet and place the sheet in the oven to keep warm. Repeat to make the rest of the waffles, spraying the waffle maker with olive oil spray before adding the batter each time.

    Step 5

    If you like a crispy waffle, pop it in the toaster for a minute before serving and it will crisp up to perfection.
