Quick and Easy 3-Ingredient Oat Waffles
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats (or regular oats if gluten isn't an issue)
- 2 medium bananas (about 1 tightly packed cup in total)
- 1 cup your favorite plant-based milk
- (Coconut oil to grease waffle iron)
Optional
- 1/2 tsp baking powder (for fluffier waffles)
- 1 scoop vegan protein powder (for extra filling waffles)
To serve (all optional)
- Coconut whipped cream
- Maple syrup
- Fruit
- Powdered cinnamon
Preparation
Blend oats in a high-power blender for 30 seconds until they turn into a fine flour. Stir briefly to loosen the oats in the blender.
Add bananas and plant-based milk (and any other optional add-ins) to the blender. Blend on high for 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Set the mixture aside for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Preheat your waffle iron and allow it to reach the cooking temperature.
Use a kitchen towel to thoroughly grease all cooking surfaces of the waffle iron with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
Spoon the batter evenly into the waffle iron, making sure not to overfill it. The amount used will depend on the size of your waffle iron. Smaller waffles are recommended for easier removal.
Close the lid and cook for 7-8 minutes, or until the steam coming out of the iron reduces.
Slowly open the waffle iron and leave the waffle in place for 30 seconds to prevent sticking. Gently remove the waffle with a flat knife. If it sticks, refer to the tips provided.
Repeat the process for the remaining batter, greasing the iron with coconut oil between each waffle. Keep the cooked waffles warm in a plate in a warm oven until ready to eat.
Serve the waffles with maple syrup, coconut cream, bananas, berries, nuts, and/or cinnamon. Enjoy!
