Ingredients needed

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 waffles flavor and adds moisture without adding any extra fat.
• Milk: We like to keep these vegan and use dairy-free milk, like almond milk or oat milk.
• Baking powder: For the perfect rise and texture.
• Butter: A small amount of melted butter gives these moisture, plus delicious flavor. Use vegan butter to keep them vegan friendly.
• Flour: This 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.

How to make this recipe

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

1. Prep: Begin by heating the waffle maker to high heat.
2. Mix the ingredients: In one bowl, whisk 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 stir.
3. Fill waffle iron: 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) and cook about 2 minutes or until the waffles are golden. This recipe makes about 12 waffles!

Expert tips

• Use a ripe banana with brown to black spots for the most flavor and extra sweetness.
• 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 waffles warm while you’re making the whole batch, heat your oven to 200ºF and place a large sheet pan inside.

Frequently asked questions

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.
