Crispy exterior, light and fluffy interior, pockets for butter and maple syrup- these flourless oat waffles are everything a waffle should be.

A wholesome breakfast disguised as a treat, you taste the warming cinnamon and maple while oats sneakily make up the base.

They are hearty enough to keep you full all morning, easy enough to make on a weekday (they mix together entirely in a blender, just like these Banana Oat Pancakes!) and scalable to make as few as two waffles (but easily doubled, tripled or more).

So although waffles are often something reserved for a more special weekend brunch, I think you could rationalize having these any time!

Breakfast, supper, a mid day snack. No one's judging.

The Ingredients

Water
Melted Coconut Oil - This recipe also works with melted butter or a mild avocado oil.
Egg
Maple Syrup- You can substitute with another sweetener of choice such as honey, agave, coconut sugar or brown sugar. Or you can leave the sweetener out completely.
Vanilla
Rolled Oats- Large flake or quick oats will work. You can also use oat flour. You need 66 g, which is about ½ cup lightly packed, in place of ⅔ cup of rolled oats.
Baking Powder- Be sure to use baking powder, not soda. This is an important ingredient for producing fluffy waffles.
Sea Salt
Cinnamon- Adds some nice warmth to the waffles! Feel free to leave it out or double it.

The Method

1. Blend. Place all of the ingredients into a blender and blend on high until smooth.

2. Sit. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften and absorb some of the moisture. Preheat a waffle iron.

3. Cook. Scoop ¼ - ½ cup of batter into a waffle iron and cook for 2-5 minutes (as per your waffle iron's directions) until lightly golden.

4. Serve.

Leftovers and Storage

To Store: Cool leftover waffles on a wire rack and then store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

To Reheat: Reheat in a toaster or toaster oven for 2-5 minutes until lightly toasted and heated through. Alternatively, you can warm them in the microwave.

Make it Your Own

Blueberry Oat Waffles- After the batter has been blended, fold in 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries.
Savoury Oat Waffles- Omit the maple syrup, cinnamon and vanilla. Top with savoury breakfast toppings such as bacon, cheese, eggs and chives.
Honey Cinnamon Oat Waffles- Use honey in place of the maple syrup. Double the cinnamon if desired.

Can you freeze waffles?

Absolutely! These waffles are great to make ahead for a wholesome breakfast on a busy day. Allow leftover waffles to cool completely on a wire rack, then freeze in an airtight container. Freeze either in a single layer or space apart with wax or parchment paper or with a silicone mat. To reheat, pop the frozen waffles in the toaster or a toaster oven for 2-5 minutes until heated through and lightly crisp on the outside. If you don't care about them being crisp, you can also reheat them in the microwave.

How do you keep waffles warm and crisp while cooking more?

Keep cooked waffles on a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and place in the oven preheated to 200 F. Continue to add cooked waffles to the sheet until ready to serve. Add question
