- 1 cup Milk
- 1/4 cup Butter, melted
- 2 cups Waffle Mix
Coconut Topping
- 1 cup Coconut Flakes

Instructions
- Prepare the Waffle Batter: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add eggs, milk, and melted butter, mixing well to combine. Gradually stir in the waffle mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Coconut: Gently fold in the coconut flakes, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter for that delightful coconut flavor.
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron and close the lid. Cook until golden brown and crisp, usually around 4-5 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.
- Caramelize the Coconut: While the waffles are cooking, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add a handful of coconut flakes, stirring frequently until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Serve and Enjoy: Stack the waffles on a plate, sprinkle the caramelized coconut on top, and drizzle with maple syrup for a delicious finish. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Use Overripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your waffles will be.
- Don’t Overmix: Mixing just until combined will keep your waffles light and fluffy.
- Keep Waffles Warm: If making multiple batches, keep cooked waffles warm in a low oven until all are ready to serve.
- Experiment with Toppings: Don’t be afraid to try different toppings like whipped cream or yogurt to elevate your dish.
- Adjust Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup to your taste.
