Deliciously simple and vegan, these easy oatmeal waffles use just three main ingredients plus a few optional add-ins to create a healthy, satisfying breakfast. Perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside, the waffles are naturally sweetened with bananas and packed with fiber from rolled oats. Customize with toppings like maple syrup, coconut whipped cream, and fresh fruit for a nourishing start to your day.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats (160g) – use gluten free if needed
  • 2 medium bananas (about 1 tightly packed cup)
  • 1 cup plant-based milk (240ml)
  • ½ tsp baking powder (optional, for fluffier, crispier waffles)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (optional, to make waffles more filling)

For Cooking

  • Coconut oil or oil of choice (for greasing waffle iron)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Coconut whipped cream
  • Maple syrup
  • Fresh fruit (such as bananas, berries)
  • Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare oat flour: Blend the rolled oats on high power for 30 seconds until they become a fine flour. Stir briefly to loosen the flour from the blender base to ensure it’s not tightly packed.
  2. Make batter: Add the bananas, plant-based milk, and any optional ingredients like baking powder or protein powder to the oat flour. Blend for another 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
  3. Preheat waffle iron: Switch your waffle iron on and allow it to reach the proper cooking temperature. Once hot, use a kitchen towel dipped in coconut oil (or oil of choice) to thoroughly grease all cooking surfaces to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook waffles: Spoon about ½ cup of batter evenly into the center of the waffle iron, careful not to overfill. The amount may vary depending on your waffle iron size. Close the lid and cook for 6-7 minutes or until the steam emission reduces, indicating the waffle is cooked.
  5. Remove waffles: Slowly open the waffle iron and leave the waffle in place for 30 seconds to minimize sticking. Gently remove the waffle with a flat knife. If sticking occurs, ensure the iron is well-greased and cooked properly.
  6. Repeat and keep warm: Repeat the cooking process with remaining batter, greasing the iron between each waffle. Store cooked waffles on a plate in a warm oven until ready to serve.
  7. Serve: Enjoy your waffles with toppings like maple syrup, coconut whipped cream, fresh fruit, and a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
