Light, simple, and naturally gluten-free, these Two Ingredient Waffles are one of my favorite breakfast recipes when I need something quick and satisfying. I only need ripe bananas and eggs to create soft, lightly sweet waffles that are perfect on their own or topped with fresh fruit, maple syrup, or nut butter. They come together in just minutes, making them ideal for busy mornings.

Why I’ll Love This Recipe

I love how incredibly simple this recipe is because I only need two everyday ingredients. The bananas provide natural sweetness while the eggs create a fluffy texture without any flour. Since these waffles are naturally gluten-free, I can enjoy them as a lighter breakfast option. I also appreciate how quickly they cook, making them perfect for busy weekdays or a relaxing weekend brunch. I can customize them with my favorite toppings every time, so they never get boring.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 ripe bananas

4 large eggs

Directions

I preheat my waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

I mash the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until they are mostly smooth.

I whisk the eggs into the mashed bananas until the batter is completely combined and easy to pour.

I lightly grease the waffle maker if needed to prevent sticking.

I pour the batter into the waffle maker, using enough to cover the surface without overflowing.

I cook the waffles until they are fully set and lightly golden.

I carefully remove the waffles and serve them warm with fresh fruit, maple syrup, yogurt, or my favorite toppings.

Variations

I sometimes add a pinch of cinnamon to give the waffles a warm, comforting flavor. A splash of vanilla extract also adds a delicious aroma. When I want extra texture, I mix in a few tablespoons of rolled oats or a spoonful of chia seeds. I also enjoy topping the waffles with peanut butter, sliced strawberries, blueberries, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.

Storage/Reheating

I store any leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, I freeze them in a single layer before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag, where they keep well for up to 2 months. When I am ready to enjoy them again, I reheat them in a toaster, oven, or air fryer until they are warmed through and slightly crisp. I avoid using the microwave whenever possible because it makes the waffles much softer.
