Gluten Free Oat Waffles
When it comes to starting your day off right, nothing beats a healthy, delicious breakfast. One of the best ways to ensure you get a nutritious and satisfying meal in the morning is by making homemade gluten-free oat waffles. These waffles are not only incredibly tasty but also packed with wholesome ingredients that provide essential nutrients to fuel your day.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups 128 grams oat flour*, certified gluten-free if necessary
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Pinch of cinnamon optional
- ¾ cup room temperature milk of choice light coconut milk, nut milk, cow’s milk
- ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients: oat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: milk, melted coconut oil or butter, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. If the coconut oil solidifies, microwave the wet mixture in 10-second intervals until it melts again.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir with a large spoon until just blended (the batter will be slightly lumpy). Let the batter rest for 10 minutes so the oat flour can absorb the liquid. Preheat your waffle iron now (set it to medium-high if it has a temperature control).
- After 10 minutes, stir the batter once more. Pour enough batter onto the preheated waffle iron to cover most of the surface, then close the lid. Cook until the waffle is golden and crispy. Transfer it to a cooling rack or baking sheet, keeping the waffles in a single layer to maintain crispness. If desired, keep the waffles warm in a 200-degree oven until serving.
- Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the waffles with maple syrup, nut butter, or any toppings of your choice!
