Ingredients
Waffle Batter
- 1 ¾ cups old fashion rolled oats (gluten-free certified if necessary)
- 2 medium spotty bananas
- 2 eggs
- ⅔ cup unsweetened almond milk (or 2% milk, whole milk, cashew or oat milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla paste
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend for 30–45 seconds until the mixture becomes a smooth batter. Let the batter sit for 4–6 minutes to thicken while you prepare the waffle iron.
- Preheat and Grease Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking. This helps achieve a crisp exterior on your waffles.
- Cook Waffles: Spoon the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and the centers are cooked through. Cooking time and batter amount may vary depending on your waffle iron, so follow your device’s recommended timing for best results.
- Repeat Cooking: Continue cooking waffles until all the batter has been used.
- Serve: Let the waffles sit for 1–2 minutes before serving warm. Enjoy with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or yogurt.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, ensure to use certified gluten-free oats.
- You can substitute almond milk with other milk alternatives or regular dairy milk based on your preference.
- Batter consistency may thicken as it sits; if too thick, stir gently before using or add a splash of milk.
- Adjust cinnamon to taste for more or less spice.
- Waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for convenient future breakfasts.
