Perfectly golden and crisp on the outside while tender inside, they serve as a versatile base for your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, honey, nut butters, or yoghurt.

Ingredients

Batter Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 medium bananas, chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

To Serve

  • Fresh fruit of your choice
  • Honey or maple syrup
  • Peanut or almond butter
  • Yoghurt

Instructions

  1. Blend the batter: Place the rolled oats, chopped bananas, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and a well-combined batter forms.
  2. Preheat the waffle maker: Turn on your waffle maker or iron and let it heat thoroughly. Once hot, lightly spray the surface with a non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Cook the waffles: Pour in a few tablespoons of the blended batter onto the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook until the waffles turn golden brown and are cooked through, usually about 3-5 minutes depending on your appliance.
  4. Serve: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron. Serve warm with your choice of fresh fruit, drizzle of honey or maple syrup, a spread of peanut or almond butter, and a dollop of yoghurt for a complete meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute rolled oats with gluten-free oats to keep the recipe gluten-free.
  • For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs or mashed bananas and use plant-based yoghurt.
  • Make sure the waffle maker is well-heated before cooking for crispier waffles.
  • This batter can also be cooked on a stovetop griddle or frying pan as pancakes if you don’t have a waffle maker.
