Ingredients
Scale
Waffle Batter
- 2 cups rolled oats (or quick oats)
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Set your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and allow it to fully heat up to ensure the waffles cook evenly and become crispy.
- Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the rolled oats, ripe bananas, eggs, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth batter consistency, ensuring there are no large oat pieces.
- Grease Waffle Iron: Lightly grease the waffle iron surface with a non-stick spray or a small amount of oil to prevent the batter from sticking and to help create a golden crust.
- Cook Waffles: Pour the blended batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron, being careful not to overfill. Close the lid and cook the waffles as per the waffle iron instructions, typically until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately. Top with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or yogurt for added flavor and nutrition.
Notes
- For a nuttier texture, use rolled oats instead of quick oats.
- If the batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk or water to achieve your desired consistency.
- These waffles are naturally gluten-free if using certified gluten-free oats.
- Leftover waffles can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster or waffle iron for best texture.
- Optionally, add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor.
