In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, mash the bananas. Then whisk in the eggs, one at a time. Then whisk in the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract.
Gradually whisk in the dry flour mixture into the wet banana mixture until there is no more dry flour mixture visible. Gently fold in the chocolate chips. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your waffle iron.
Spray the waffle iron with a cooking spray. Use a ½ cup measuring cup to scoop up batter and pour into the waffle iron. Close the lid and cook until your waffle maker indicates it is done. The waffles should be a nice golden brown when finished.
Transfer the cooked waffle to a plate and then repeat until all of the batter is used up.

Notes
Makes: 8 Belgian-style waffles in a standard-sized round waffle maker.Tips:
Be careful not to over-mix the batter, which may cause thinner, denser waffles. The batter should be lumpy and not too thick or stiff.
Make sure your eggs are at room temperature. Simply take them out of the refrigerator about 20 to 30 minutes before you start making the recipe and place them on the counter.
You can use only one ripe banana if that's all you have. However, if you try to add more than 2 ripe bananas, the texture and consistency of the batter will change.
