Gluten Free Waffles Ingredients

This oat flour waffles recipe is made with simple, wholesome ingredients and is super easy to mix up! Here’s a note on each of the ingredients:

• Banana: The addition of mashed banana acts as a natural sweetener, gives the gluten-free waffles flavor and adds moisture without adding any extra fat. Another reason we use banana in this recipe is because our waffles are vegan. So, instead of using egg as a binder, we use mashed ripe banana. The spottier the better!
• Milk: We like to keep these waffles vegan and use dairy-free milk, like almond milk or oat milk. If you are not vegan or dairy-free, feel free to use 1% milk, 2% milk, or whole milk in this recipe.
• Baking powder: For the perfect rise and texture. No eggs needed!
• Butter: A small amount of melted vegan butter gives these moisture, plus delicious flavor. Use vegan butter to keep them vegan friendly or regular butter if you are not vegan or dairy-free.
• Flour: This vegan waffle recipe uses oat flour to keep the waffles gluten-free and give them the perfect texture.
• Add-ins: For enhanced flavor, you can mix vanilla, maple syrup and cinnamon into the batter. Spread the oat flour waffles with vegan butter, top with fruit, and drizzle with maple syrup for a delicious breakfast the whole family will love.

How to Make Gluten-Free Waffles

Oat flour waffles are simple to make! You only need one bowl and a waffle maker sprayed with cooking spray. Here's how:

Step 1 - Prep The Vegan Waffle Ingredients: Begin by heating the waffle maker to high heat. Mash the banana in a medium mixing bowl using a fork.

Step 2 - Mix The Gluten-Free Waffle Batter: Then, whisk in the non-dairy milk, melted vegan butter, baking powder, optional vanilla, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Add the oat flour and stir until a waffle batter forms. There will be a few lumps, this is ok!

Step 3 - Fill Waffle Iron with Vegan Waffle Batter: Once the iron is hot, spray it with coconut oil spray, butter, or olive oil spray. Fill the waffle iron mold with batter (about 3-4 tablespoon each). Cook for about 2 minutes or until the gluten-free waffles are golden. This recipe makes about 12 oat flour banana waffles!

Expert tips

• Use a ripe banana with brown to black spots for the most flavor and extra sweetness. Since this recipe is also vegan, the mashed banana also acts as a binder instead of using eggs in the batter.
• Ensure that waffles are completely cooked before opening your iron. If you find the waffles are falling apart, they may not have cooked through completely. My waffle iron separates as the waffles rise, which indicates these are done.
• If you’d like to keep the vegan waffles warm while you’re making the whole batch, heat your oven to 200ºF and place a large sheet pan inside.

Storage recommendations

• To store: Cool waffles completely, then place them in an airtight reusable bag and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
• To reheat: The best way to reheat homemade waffles is to put them in the toaster! This allows them to keep their crispy edges and fluffy insides instead of getting mushy from the microwave. You can also put them in a 200 degree F oven and toast for 5-10 minutes.

• Begin by heating your griddle or waffle maker to high heat.
• In one bowl, mix the banana, non dairy milk, melted vegan butter, baking powder, and optional vanilla, maple syrup, and cinnamon to the batter. Then, add the oat flour and mix.
