Take your weekend waffles to the next level with these Peanut Butter and Banana Waffles! Here, a dreamy, creamy peanut butter sauce pairs up perfectly with sliced bananas on top of fresh and hot buttermilk waffles.

Remember a few weeks back when I mentioned that I had a non-existent Mother’s Day menu for my mom? The one I had a few ideas for but hadn’t yet discussed with my brother? 

Well, we compromised. I was thinking a stuffed French toast. He was thinking waffles. 

To me, there’s no contest here. I guess it also helps that Mom loves waffles. I am my mother’s child, after all.

She also love love loves the pairing of peanut butter and banana! As kids, our peanut butter sandwiches included either jelly or bananas. I didn’t even know about Fluff until college or that peanut butter and Fluff was even a thing. 

Our fresh homemade banana bread was slathered with peanut butter too.

It’s a natural combination that Mom flips over and so we made peanut butter and banana waffles for her for Mother’s Day breakfast.

Without getting too crazy with the waffle recipe itself, we made buttermilk waffles and topped them with this creamy peanut butter sauce and sliced bananas. And let me tell you: we’re talkin’ dream breakfast here!

This was definitely one of the highlights of the day for all of us and I know they helped make Mom’s day pretty special.

Making This Outrageous Breakfast

These are the basic steps for making these peanut butter and banana waffles. For the full set of instructions, be sure to keep scrolling down to the recipe card below!

STEP 1: Make your waffles. Homemade waffles are my choice but if you’re in a pinch or some picky kids who love their frozen waffles, any frozen variety will work too. Keep the waffles warm in the oven while you make the peanut butter sauce.

STEP 2: Make the peanut butter sauce by heating the peanut butter and half-and-half in the microwave. Whisk them until they come together and then whisk in the confectioners’ sugar.

STEP 3: Top your waffles with sliced bananas and drizzle the peanut butter sauce over the top. Serve while still warm, cozy, and amazingly delicious!

Ingredients

• 1 waffle recipe
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter
• ½ - ¾ cup half-and-half
• 3 ½ tbsp confectioners' sugar, sifted
• 3 bananas, sliced

Instructions

1. Prepare waffles according to recipe instructions, keeping cooked waffles warm in a 250° degree oven while you make the rest.
2. To make the peanut butter sauce: Combine peanut butter and half-and-half in a medium heatproof bowl. Warm in the microwave for 1 minute, stir, then heat again for 30 seconds. Whisk the mixture together until the peanut butter completely combines with the half-and-half. This will take a minute or so of whisking and at first, the peanut butter will look really separated - it will come together. Whisk in the sugar. At this point, if the mixture is too thick for a sauce consistency, whisk in some extra half-and-half by the tablespoon until you reached your desired consistency, up to ¾ cup.
3. Spoon peanut butter sauce over waffles then top with sliced bananas. If you want to get really crazy, a little pure maple syrup is also excellent drizzled on top of the sauce and bananas.

Notes

Whole Foods brand of creamy peanut butter is an all-natural option and some mainstream brands like Peter Pan are now skipping the HFCS as well. Skippy Natural has too much oil for this recipe so stick with a peanut butter that doesn't have to be stirred.

Double the peanut butter sauce recipe and refrigerate the leftovers if you want to use it as a topping for ice cream or brownies...or brownie sundaes.
