Before you start, decide if you want to use oil or not. The oil makes the waffles crispier. If so, use 1 1/2 cups of almond milk and 1/4 cup of oil instead of 1 3/4 cup of almond milk.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk self-rising flour with mashed banana and milk. The batter should be thin and runny—that's normal. Whisk in the optional ingredients.
Prepare a bowl with oil and a wide shallow plate with the cinnamon sugar. Set aside.
Warm a waffle iron to high heat and grease it generously with oil.
Add 1/3 cup batter, if you like, add super-thin slices of bananas and 2 tablespoons of batter on top to cover the banana slices so they don't get in contact with the waffle irons. Cook the waffles for 6 to 7 minutes until ultra-crispy and golden.
Cut the waffles into sticks on a chopping board with a long sharp knife.
When hot, immediately spray or brush with oil and roll them into the cinnamon sugar.
Eat immediately as they soften very fast. If you don't eat all the waffles now, don't coat them with sugar so you can rewarm them in an air fryer or a warm waffle iron, and coat them just before eating.
Rewarm in an air fryer for a few minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) to crispy.
Notes
Note 1: Self-rising flour can be made at home by combining one cup of all-purpose flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Note 2: For crispier waffles, swap 1/4 cup of the milk for canola oil. You can use any plant-based milk, but almond milk is what makes the crispiest churro waffles.Note 3: If your bananas are very ripe, you won't need sugar!
