These fluffy banana waffles are a must make! I've been focusing so much on pancake recipes that I forgot how yummy waffles are. Waffles can seem more intimidating than pancakes, but I promise that this recipe can't get any easier! I also used a mini waffle iron which makes this recipe more fun!
Ingredients in this recipe
- mashed spotty-brown bananas (the more ripe the bananas, the sweeter the waffle)
- honey
- olive oil
- egg
- gluten free oat flour
- almond flour
- unsweetened shredded coconut
- baking powder (gluten-free)
KITCHEN TOOLS TO PURCHASE TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
What is the secret to crispy waffles?
If you love toaster waffles, I have a secret for you. Simply place your homemade waffle into the toaster and voila, you have a crispy toaster waffle.
5 Best Waffle Toppings
- nut butter drizzle
- unsweetened shredded coconut
- fresh fruit
- homemade jelly or jam
- seeds (chia seeds, ground flax seeds or hemp seeds)
Do homemade waffles freeze well?
Yes! First, I recommend freezing the cooked waffles individually on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. This will keep the waffles from sticking together. Once the waffles are completely frozen, place them in a freezer-friendly bag.

I used homemade oat flour and coconut flour so my texture was a bit more grainy. I added a splash of vanilla and almond milk and they were perfect!!!
Thank you!!
I'm glad you enjoyed!! I recommend following the recipe as written for best results. Unfortunately, coconut flour and almond flour don't swap 1:1 since they have different textures. Coconut flour needs more liquid.

So happy to hear that you enjoyed! 🙂
