Banana chip waffles

This recipe was in my manual of my new waffle maker and it is so delicious you just wouldn't believe it! We didn't even top them with anything!

What you'll need:

• 2 c all purpose flour
• 2 Tbl sugar
• 1 Tbl baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 2/3 c milk
• 1 medium banana (1/2 c), mashed
• 6 Tbl vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 c + 8 Tbl mini chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients together until well combined and smooth. Allow to sit for 5 minutes before using. Preheat waffle maker. Pour 1/2 cup waffle batter into center of waffle maker and gently spread out with a heat proof spatula. Sprinkle 1 Tbl of additional chocolate chips over batter and let bubble 5 - 10 seconds. Close lid and cook waffle until done. Repeat until all the batter is used. Makes 8 waffles.


Waffles can be kept in a 200° oven while cooking remaining waffles. They can also be frozen with a piece of waxed paper between waffles. To reheat place in toaster or toaster oven until warmed.


Substitution: Make banana nut waffles by omitting chocolate chips and replacing with 1/2 c chopped walnuts, pecans or almonds.
