Questions I often get asked about this recipe:

Can I use a different type of flour?
While all-purpose flour is recommended for this recipe, you could experiment with other types of flour like whole wheat or gluten-free flour. However, keep in mind that this may alter the texture of the waffles.

Can I make these waffles ahead of time?
It’s best to enjoy these waffle sticks fresh, as they are crispiest when served immediately. However, you can make the waffle batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator overnight.  

What other toppings can I use?
While chocolate sauce and whipped cream are classic options, feel free to get creative with your toppings! Try adding a scoop of ice cream, caramel sauce, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit.

Can I freeze these waffle sticks?
While it’s possible to freeze cooked waffle sticks, the texture might change after thawing. It’s recommended to enjoy them fresh for optimal taste and texture.

What is the best way to prevent the waffles from sticking to the waffle iron?
Lightly greasing the waffle iron with cooking spray before each batch is crucial. Additionally, ensuring your waffle iron is hot enough before pouring the batter will help prevent sticking.

What you need to make Banana Churro Waffle Sticks:

For the waffle batter:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 ripe banana, mashed

1/2 cup milk (any type)

1 egg, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the churro coating:

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Optional toppings:

Chocolate sauce

Whipped cream

Sprinkles

How to make it:

Prepare the waffle batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine mashed banana, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. The batter should be slightly thick.

Heat waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray.  

Cook the waffles: Pour enough batter into each section of the waffle iron to cover the bottom. Cook according to the waffle iron’s instructions until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the waffle iron and let cool slightly. Cut into sticks: Once cooled, cut the waffles into long sticks.

Prepare the churro coating: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon.

Coat the sticks: Toss the waffle sticks in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.

Serve: Serve immediately with your desired toppings.

Tips:

For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the waffle batter.

If you prefer a sweeter batter, add a tablespoon of sugar to the wet ingredients.

For a fun twist, fill the waffle sticks with Nutella or whipped cream before coating in cinnamon sugar.
