Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free rolled oats
- ½ cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cooking spray or melted butter, for greasing the waffle iron
Directions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- In a blender or food processor, blend the gluten-free oats until they resemble a fine flour-like consistency.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense waffles.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter.
- Scoop the batter onto the hot waffle iron, using about ½ cup of batter for each waffle. Close the lid and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle iron and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter until all the waffles are cooked.
- Serve the gluten-free oatmeal waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruits, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
