Imagine waking up to the comforting aroma of warm banana bread, but in the form of a light and fluffy waffle. This simple recipe transforms just five ingredients into a delightful breakfast or brunch that's both satisfying and wholesome. The base of the batter combines fresh eggs with the natural sweetness of ripe banana, creating a moist and tender interior.

Almond flour and coconut flour lend a delicate nutty flavor and contribute to the waffle's airy texture, while a touch of baking powder ensures a golden-brown crispness on the outside. The beauty of these waffles lies in their simplicity and adaptability. While a completely smooth batter is certainly an option, leaving small chunks of mashed banana adds bursts of concentrated flavor and a pleasant textural contrast to each bite.

The warmth of the cooked waffle gently caramelizes these banana pieces, enhancing their natural sweetness and creating little pockets of deliciousness. Once cooked to a perfect golden brown, these waffles can be enjoyed in a multitude of ways. A simple pat of softened butter allows the inherent flavors to shine, while a drizzle of your favorite syrup adds an extra touch of sweetness.

For a more elegant presentation, consider a light dusting of powdered sweetener. Of course, they are equally delicious enjoyed plain, allowing the subtle flavors of banana, almond, and coconut to truly stand out. These waffles are also incredibly freezer-friendly, making them perfect for meal prepping or busy mornings.

Simply allow them to cool completely, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag and store them in the freezer. When ready to enjoy, a quick toast on the defrost setting will restore their crispy exterior and warm, inviting aroma. If you need to substitute the almond flour for any reason, you can add additional coconut flour to the recipe.

The result will be a slightly denser waffle, but just as delicious! The versatility of these waffles makes them a welcome addition to any breakfast table.
