Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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 heat up fully before cooking.
- Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the oats, ripe bananas, eggs, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Blend the mixture until it forms a smooth batter with no large oat pieces remaining.
- Grease Waffle Iron: Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Waffles: Pour the batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron, making sure not to overfill it. Close the lid and cook the waffles according to your waffle iron’s instructions, usually until they turn golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Serve: Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the waffle iron and serve immediately. Top with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or yogurt for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better texture.
- If you don’t have a high-speed blender, you can pulse the ingredients in a regular blender or food processor until smooth.
- For crispier waffles, allow extra cooking time but be careful not to burn them.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats.
- Waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast later.
