Banana Oat Waffles

These Banana Oat Waffles are healthy, easy to make and with a hint of spice, the perfect weekend breakfast! They are naturally sweetened with bananas, gluten-free and dairy free.

These Banana Oat Waffles are really easy to make. Just mix everything up in a blender or food processor and you are done! They are both gluten and dairy free and only uses a little coconut oil. So this way you can enjoy your waffles as a healthy breakfast. I serve mine with a lot of fresh fruit and berries and a drizzle of maple syrup.

I also love serving these Banana Oat Waffles with some jam, like this Strawberry Chia Jam or Cherry Chia Jam

What is your favourite waffle topping?

Ingredients:

• Oats, any kind works here because you will been it up to oat flour. So use what you have at home.
• Cardamon, for a hint of spice in these waffles. Can also be substituted with cinnamon.
• Pinch of salt
• Baking powder
• Vanilla bean powder, or vanilla extract
• Very ripe bananas, sliced
• Almond milk or milk of your choice. To keep these waffles dairy free, use a plant based milk like soy or oat milk.
• Eggs
• Coconut oil

Instructions:

In a food processor, blend the oats until they are ground into a flour consistency. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and pulse until combined.

Add the banana, milk, egg and melted coconut oil, blend until you have a smooth batter.

Heat your waffle iron and brush with a little melted coconut oil, cook the waffle until golden brown and cooked through. Serve hot with your favourite toppings!

Top Tip:

Keep your waffles warm in the oven. Heat the oven on low heat, cover the cooked waffles with a pice of foil. Let them sit in the oven while you finish cooking the rest of the waffles. This way you san serve piping hot waffles all at the same time.

STORAGE

If you have any leftover oat waffles or made a double batch for meal prep, let them cool down completely. Pack them in an airtight container.

They can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. 

You can also freeze them for longer. I like to separate them with a pice of parchment paper or plastic wrap and then place them in an airtight container. This makes it easier to take out just one one or two waffles at the time. Store the waffles in the freezer for up to 3 months. 

REHEATING

There are 3 good ways of reheating these Banana Oat Waffles. 

• Microwave – Heat them on a microwave safe plate for 30 sec at a time.
• Toaster – If you made large waffles like me, you can cut them into portion size pieces. Then just pop one in the toaster and use the reheat option if you have one. Otherwise heat on low heat until just warmed through.
• Oven – Preheat the oven to 175C (350F) Place the oat waffles in a single layer on a baking tray. Cover them with a pice of foil and reheat them in the oven for about four minutes.
