Banana Bread Waffles
These banana bread waffles will quickly become your favorite.
My husband loved his mom’s banana bread, and no matter how many times I tried to make it, he simply told me I was close, but not close enough.
So whenever I think of banana bread, I think of my late husband. I’d like to think that he would love these waffles!
I’ve always loved the sweet and savory combo – and these waffle sammies are the perfect example.
WW (formerly known as weight watchers) came out with protein powders, which are about 2/3 the cost of name brand ones, only 2 points for a pretty hefty scoop and a whopping 25 grams of protein.
I am calling these banana bread waffles because they are slightly crisp on the outside, but bready in the best way possible like a slice of baked banana bread.
I was in a hurry this morning, and took these pictures really quick – I wish I would have added some sliced strawberries or blueberries to the photo for a pop of color – oh well! If you love waffles, you can check out my carrot cake waffles – so good!
Happy Thursday friends – make it a great day!
Banana Bread Waffles
Great recipe to make a head of time to have a quick breakfast during the week. These waffles also make a great breakfast sandwich with eggs and cheese - great sweet/savory combination.
Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 2 bananas, mashed
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients together (flour through protein powder).
- Add in milk and bananas and stir until just combined.
- Cook according to your waffle maker instructions.
- Once cooled, store in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freezer for up to 6 months.
Notes
The points may vary depending on what protein powder you use, but each waffle is 5 Weight Watchers points. If you count calories or macros, each one is 223 calories, 0 fat, 42 carbs, 3 fiber and 10 protein.
So I can’t find the actual recipe on your page. All pictures ! Where do you keep the “do this with that “ part

I am so sorry! That post had an outdated recipe card, so it isn’t appearing. I’ve added it. Thank you for letting me know!
Mmm, these were good. Definitely not doughy at all. I do have a belgian waffle maker and just set it at 4 and they turned out perfect. Thanks so much for another wonderful recipe low in points!
I have a couple questions
I have rolled oats will that be okay?
I do not have any WW protein powder?
Good morning Lynn! Rolled oats are fine – just don’t use steel cut oats 😀
Do you have any protein powder? If not, you can leave out, but the points may change.
What a great way to use up some of the bananas that I have at the end of the week. Typically I make those keto friendly banana pancakes that are just bananas and eggs mixed together and cooked like pancakes. You really come up with some really good banana recipes. Thanks for sharing.
I’m a bit odd as I don’t really like “doughy” things. Are they a “doughy” texture? I love banana bread and waffles just curious due to your bread comment.
