Recipe Tips & Tricks

Use Ripe Bananas. Make sure your bananas are nice and ripe. They’ll add sweetness and help bind the batter together.

Customization. Feel free to get creative with your toppings! For extra sweetness, add some sliced bananas, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, or even a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

Batch It. These waffles freeze beautifully! Let them cool completely, then store them in a freezer bag or container with parchment paper between each waffle to prevent sticking.

Storage & Reheating

Storage: Let the waffles cool completely and place them in an airtight container or freezer bag, separating each waffle with parchment paper to prevent sticking. They can be stored in the refrigerator and stay fresh for 3-4 days.

Reheating: The easiest method is to pop them in the toaster until warm and crisp. The fast method I like is popping them into the microwave for 20-30 seconds.

Freezing: If you want to freeze your waffles for longer-term storage, let them cool completely. Then, place them in a freezer-friendly bag or airtight container. Frozen waffles can last for up to 3 months in the freezer. 

Your Questions Answered

Can I use regular flour instead of oat flour?

Absolutely! You can substitute regular all-purpose flour for oat flour in this recipe.

Can I make these waffles without a blender?

Of course! Mash the banana well with a fork and whisk the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl until smooth. It requires more effort, but the results should still be delicious!

I’m allergic to peanuts. Can I use a different nut butter?

Definitely! Feel free to swap in your favorite alternatives, such as almond or cashew butter, if you have a peanut allergy.
