Banana "Churros"

bananas

Tbsp sugar

cinnamon

Cooking spray

Combine 2 Tbsp sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon together in a small bowl, mix well and set aside.

Heat a skillet (I recommend cast iron) over medium heat and spray with cooking spray.

Slice 2 bananas into rounds and place into skillet.

Allow to cook for 2 minutes then sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar mixture and allow to cook for an additional minute.

Flip the banana slices and sprinkle on the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.

Allow the bananas to cook an additional 2 minutes, until soft.

These Banana Churro Waffles are easy, tasty snacks ready in under 20 minutes with a classic churros taste coated with crunchy sugar and sweetened with ripe bananas.

Banana Churro Waffles

Self-Rising Flour (note 1)

Ripe Bananas (1 cup mashed banana)

Almond Milk (note 2)

Unrefined Sugar

Cinnamon

Banana (cut into thinly slices that you can almost see through)

Vanilla Extract

Unrefined Sugar (note 3)

Before you start, decide if you want to use oil or not. The oil makes the waffles crispier. If so, use 1 1/2 cups of almond milk and 1/4 cup of oil instead of 1 3/4 cup of almond milk.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk self-rising flour with mashed banana and milk. The batter should be thin and runny—that&#39;s normal. Whisk in the optional ingredients.

Prepare a bowl with oil and a wide shallow plate with the cinnamon sugar. Set aside.

Warm a waffle iron to high heat and grease it generously with oil.

Add 1/3 cup batter, if you like, add super-thin slices of bananas and 2 tablespoons of batter on top to cover the banana slices so they don&#39;t get in contact with the waffle irons. Cook the waffles for 6 to 7 minutes until ultra-crispy and golden.

Cut the waffles into sticks on a chopping board with a long sharp knife.

When hot, immediately spray or brush with oil and roll them into the cinnamon sugar.

Eat immediately as they soften very fast. If you don&#39;t eat all the waffles now, don&#39;t coat them with sugar so you can rewarm them in an air fryer or a warm waffle iron, and coat them just before eating.

Rewarm in an air fryer for a few minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) to crispy.

Heerlijk!! That’s how we say delicious in Holland. My son and I just tried them for the first time. But we will definitily make more of these!

Mine weren't this thick so I added more flour and fried them as  and sprinkled them with a mix of cinnamon and sugar from the recipe. They are delicious

Love your work Carine! Your recipes are amazing! Thank you, we really appreciate your cooking prowess!
