Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups milk (more if batter is too thick)
- 6 TBSP melted butter
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 box banana cream instant pudding (3.4 oz)
Toppings
- 1/2 cup vanilla wafers, crushed lightly
- Whipped cream
- 2 bananas, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Begin by preheating your waffle iron to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking the batter evenly.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly blended.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine.
- Incorporate Banana Pudding: Fold the banana cream instant pudding mix into the wet ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated, creating a creamy mixture.
- Mix Batter: Pour the wet pudding mixture into the dry ingredients and gently whisk together. Be careful not to overmix to keep the waffles tender.
- Adjust Batter Consistency: If the batter seems too thick, gradually add milk 1/4 cup at a time until you achieve a consistency similar to pancake or waffle batter—not too thin but pourable.
- Prepare Waffle Iron: Spray the waffle iron plates with non-stick spray to prevent sticking and make cleaning easier.
- Cook Waffles: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto each waffle iron section (adjust based on size of your waffle maker). Close and cook until the waffles are crispy and golden brown.
- Remove Waffles: Use silicone tongs or a plastic fork to carefully remove the cooked waffles from the iron without damaging them.
- Serve and Garnish: Plate the waffles, then top with whipped cream, crushed vanilla wafers, and sliced bananas. Optionally, drizzle with maple syrup or caramel sauce for extra decadence.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough waffles.
- Adjust milk quantity to get the right batter consistency.
- Use a non-stick spray to ensure waffles release easily from the iron.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
- Waffles can be kept warm in a low oven if preparing multiple batches.
- Optional toppings like maple syrup or caramel sauce add a sweet finishing touch.
