Sweet Vegan Banana Waffles

Tired of vegan waffle recipes that rely on milk replacements and complicated ingredient lists? These vegan banana waffles take a simpler and far more flavorful approach. By using ripe bananas as the base, this recipe naturally replaces eggs and milk while adding sweetness and moisture at the same time. The result is a batch of waffles that is fluffy, aromatic, and easy to make, without sacrificing texture or taste. Whether you serve them for a relaxed weekend breakfast or as part of a larger brunch spread alongside other favorites from our Vegan Pastry recipes, these waffles feel comforting, familiar, and effortlessly satisfying.

What really makes this recipe shine is how well it puts overripe bananas to use. The bananas that are too soft to eat are often the best ones for baking. Let them ripen fully, then freeze them until you are ready to bake. From there, they can be turned into these vegan banana waffles, fluffy banana pancakes, or a classic banana bread recipe whenever the craving hits. It is a practical, low-waste way to turn simple ingredients into homemade comfort food that tastes just as good as it.

Instructions for Sweet Vegan Banana Waffles

These instructions guide you through making sweet vegan banana waffles with a fluffy texture and natural sweetness from ripe bananas. The method is simple, forgiving, and designed to work without eggs or dairy, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced home bakers.

Step 1: Going bananas

Grab a large bowl and two ripest bananas. This works best when the bananas are brown and super ripe. So ripe you don't want to eat them anymore. If you have a few banana's lying around and no time to bake, just put them in the freezer to bake on a day you have time to make these delicious vegan banana waffles! Mash the super ripe bananas with a fork until they resemble a chunky, golden, and slightly questionable baby food.

Step 2: Mixing

Add all the other ingredients and mix well; Self-rising flour (1.5 cups or 180g), melted butter (1/4 cup or 60g), Sugar (1/4 cup or 60g), a pinch of salt and one small bag of vanilla sugar (~7g). Don't worry if it still looks a little lumpy.

Pro Tip: Make sure your melted butter/oil isn't scorching hot, or it might get grumpy with the other ingredients.

Step 3: Preheat Your Waffle maker

Heat up your waffle iron. Most modern irons have a little light that tells you when they are ready. Lightly brush or spray the iron with a little oil, especially if it's new or prone to sticking.

Step 4: Waffle Time!

Pour your batter onto the hot waffle iron. The exact amount depends on your iron size, but usually. For the amount stated in the ingredients above, you can make 4 large waffles, so just take half of the batter and spread it on the waffle iron. Close the lid and resist the urge to peek! In the first 20 seconds, firmly close the waffle iron with both hands, this way the batter spreads nicely before it starts to rise. Cook until golden brown and crispy, usually 3 to 5 minutes. Since this recipe contains more water due to the ripe banana's, it might take slightly longer than your standard waffles.

Step 5: Serving vegan sweet banana waffles

Carefully remove the golden vegan waffles and place them on a rack. Don't stack 'em yet until they are cooled down! If you make just four, they are probably finished by the time you wanted to stack and store them! Most delicious to eat them when they are still warm!
