Tips

For a sweeter waffle, use two bananas in your batter.

Tips

Depending on your waffle iron, you can make these square, round, heart or star-shaped for added fun!

Tips

Make sure you preheat your waffle iron before adding the batter, so you get lovely golden waffles instead of ones that are pale and soft.

Tips

To stop your waffle batter from sticking to the waffle iron, spread a little bit of melted butter or oil before you ladle out your mix.
