Ingredients
Scale
Waffle Batter
- 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 to ensure even cooking and proper temperature before adding batter.
- Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the rolled oats, ripe bananas, eggs, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Blend until you get a smooth batter with no large oat pieces.
- Grease Waffle Iron: Lightly spray the waffle iron with a non-stick cooking spray or brush with a small amount of oil to prevent the waffles from sticking.
- Cook Waffles: Pour the batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron, careful not to overfill to avoid overflow. Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Remove the cooked waffles carefully and serve warm. Top with fresh fruit, maple syrup, yogurt, or your favorite toppings for added flavor.
Notes
- For best results, use ripe bananas as they add natural sweetness and moisture.
- You can substitute rolled oats with quick oats, but texture may vary slightly.
- If you don’t have a high-speed blender, pulse the oats first to break them down before blending the other ingredients.
- These waffles freeze well—store cooked waffles in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks and reheat in a toaster or oven.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon according to taste preferences.
