Easy is the name of the game for me lately when it comes to food intake. As much as I would love to be able to spend all day in the kitchen developing intricate, detailed recipes, I unfortunately just don’t have the bandwidth.
Six classes, an internship and multiple volunteer opportunities have left me incredibly short on leisure time.
That’s where things like this come in!
They taste delicious.
They’re relatively healthy.
They will make your entire house smell like freshly baked banana bread.
And most importantly, they’re done in a matter of minutes.
When every moment of your day needs to be utilized in the best way possible, you just can’t beat the simplicity of options like this.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Favorite pancake mix
- 1 incredibly ripe banana
I know, it seems too good to be true, but I swear to you, that’s all I used.
Here’s what you need to do (or, if you don’t have time to do it, your 2 year old…or maybe even your dog, could probably handle it given the complexity of this recipe):
- Preheat waffle iron (if you don’t have one, you can easily make these pancakes)
- Prepare pancake mix according to instructions (I used 2 eggs, 2 tbsp. canola oil and 1/2 cup water for 1 cup of mix)
- Mash banana and whisk into mix.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter into each waffle mold and close the lid.
- Wait until the machine beeps at you, letting you know it’s done.
- Remove, top with butter and warm syrup.
- Serve.
holy yum! waffles just aren’t the same w/o banana.
Agreed!
Why oh why do I not own a waffle maker? Sad day. These look so pretty and tasty (and ridiculously easy)!
Haha – I don’t know but you should get one! Though I bet these would be just as good as pancakes 🙂 And yes! SO ridiculously easy (obviously the best part about them!)
oh yum, I love waffles, I need a waffle maker!!
Yes you do! I used mine SO often – well worth the investment! 🙂
2 Ingredient Pancakes that look like that? Love it!
Right!? Plus they’re healthy! What could be better?!
What a great, easy idea!!!!
Thanks Erica 🙂 It’s SUPER easy and so tasty – I highly recommend it!
what kind of waffle maker do you have? They look so cute!
I have the 4-slice belgian waffle maker by Cuisinart (http://www.cuisinart.com/products/waffle_makers/waf-100.html) – I love it!! 🙂
I’m so in. (even though I “don’t like” bananas.)
Hahaha – you and me both friend. It’s perfect for the ‘banana haters’ in us 😉
beautiful photography cait! these look amazing!
Thanks Kayla! 🙂
Oh. My. 🙂
Couldn’t have said it better myself 🙂
Pancakes, waffles, french toast… Anything sweet is the best way to start the day IMO 😀 I’ve been hoping to get my hands on Kodiak Cakes but haven’t seen them anywhere [Target ran out a while ago and hasn’t restocked]. I’ll have to try Bob’s Red Mill!
Definitely give them a try – it’s an awesome mix! 🙂
These waffles are gorgeous!! OH my gosh they look so good.
Thanks Brittany 🙂
Firstly, I LOVE the photographs. Secondly, what a great recipe!! You’ve combined two of my favourite things. Sadly I don’t have a waffle maker with me (I moved to the middle east and only brought what fit in suitcases!), BUT I think I could make this into some yummy pancakes… perfect for a Saturday morning!
Aw thank you! And these would DEFINITELY work as pancakes – I think that might even be my next project 🙂
I almost fell out of my chair as I was scrolling through these pictures! YUM! The simplicity of the recipe was the icing on the cake (err, syrup on the waffle?) 🙂 Thanks for the great idea, Cait! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! <3
Thanks Sara – so glad you liked it! 🙂
These waffles look amazing!! Great natural looking pictures too. I’ll probably have to try it out in pancake form too.
Thank you! 🙂 Let me know what you think if you give it a try!
I miss seeing your blog posts 😉
Aw thanks! I miss doing them! Hopefully things will settle down soon and I can get back to it!
I miss ’em, too. Hope to “see ya” soon!
Aw thanks lady. I promise to make my return as soon as I can!!
These sound positively delicious! And they are so interesting looking.
Oh how I love my waffles, or pancakes, or eggs! Breakfast for all meals of the day works for me!
A girl after my own heart 🙂
