Nut-free, super easy gluten free banana waffles make a perfect easy breakfast!
With minimal ingredients and no added sweetener (the banana is enough!), these waffles are quick to prep and effortlessly delicious.
These gluten free, nut free banana waffles are all about fast prep! Serve this easy waffle recipe with a Spinach, Sausage, & Mushroom Frittata or Buffalo Chicken Sweet Potato Egg Bake to bump up your protein for breakfast.
Fortunately, these waffles keep well in the fridge or freezer, so you can prep them in advance as needed.
We love them with a drizzle of almond butter or as the buns for breakfast sandwiches!

Key Ingredients
Bananas: Opt for ripe bananas. These waffles don't have quite as much structure if the bananas you use are overripe.
Eggs: Large eggs provide most of the structure for these waffles, so they're very important! I don't think this recipe will work well with an egg replacement.
Tapioca flour: Eggs can't provide all the structure, so a little tapioca goes a long way here. You can swap with arrowroot flour if you'd like, but tapioca flour is slightly sweeter and I find that lends well to this recipe.

Topping ideas for gluten free waffles
These waffles make an excellent base for all sorts of topping ideas! Although I will admit that I often end up eating these right out of the fridge.
My favorite topping ideas:
- Maple syrup
- Nut butter
- Fresh or frozen fruit
- Homemade Blueberry Maple Syrup
- Toasted nuts
I've also used these waffles as the buns for breakfast sandwiches. The waffles are slightly sweet, so they're perfect for sweet-and-savory sandwiches!
What I love about these is they are super easy to make (you can omit the cinnamon and make this a 5-ingredient recipe!) and they are flavorful enough that you don't have to add any toppings or syrup if you would prefer not to. Actually, every time I've made these I haven't bothered with toppings. I just walk around my apartment eating them like a boss as if they were an Epic Bar. I have also been known to make a huge batch, telling myself that I'm saving them for the week, and eating like 15 waffles in a day. There's a reason I'm not super lean.

Banana Waffles (nut free)
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 5 waffles 1x

- 2 bananas, mashed

Instructions

Trying this batter cooked in the oven in a silicone waffle mold... we'll see how it turns out 🙂
