Enjoying Mornings with Delicious Banana Oat Waffles

This is another quick, hearty breakfast or brunch idea that can be quickly put together. Nice and soft on the inside, it’s hearty, and it has a very good flavor. They are so easy to make but they are delightful in their simplicity.

These waffles are not only delicious but also brim with nutrients. The name itself gives away the two main ingredients - Bananas, a wholesome source of instant energy, and fiber-rich oats. Combining the two provides a sense of fullness and helps jumpstart your day.

The base of this recipe are bananas and oatmeal, providing natural sweetness and a hearty texture. I absolutely love this mix. If you enjoyed my previous recipes on oatmeal Banana Bread and my oatmeal banana muffins recipe you'd know how much I appreciate the flavor of oatmeal and banana. Not to mention the wonderful aroma of cinnamon that brings a comforting warmth.

These oatmeal waffles are the perfect answer for the morning rush; not only are they free from refined sugar. It’s also filling, and you will also get a good amount of roughage for the day.

Why it's good:

1. Nutrient-packed: Oats, bananas, and eggs bring a host of essential nutrients to the table, making these waffles a nutritious choice to kickstart your day.
2. Naturally sweetened: Ripe bananas and a touch of honey provide natural sweetness, reducing the need for processed sugars.
3. Easy on the digestion: Oats are known for their digestive benefits, making these waffles a gentle option for your morning meal.

Gluten-Free Banana Oatmeal Waffles

This is a super healthy oat waffle recipe, and no flour is added to the recipe, so it comes out a bit heavier than the traditional waffles. However, they are super tender on the inside, and you will be amazed that waffles made without sugar or flour can be so good. Plus, they are so quick and easy to make.

This is my go-to waffle recipe because it’s not just easy to make; it’s healthy and filling. I simply throw all the ingredients in a blender for a quick and easy morning breakfast.

These waffles are one of my kids’ favorite breakfasts because it’s sweet enough but not overly sweet. They are dense with a genuine flavor and very satisfying. I even wrap these up for them to school because it’s also good at room temperature.

Be sure to get a certified gluten-free oat if you are on a gluten-free diet.

Tips

• If you want to make these waffles dairy-free, you can use soy milk, almond milk, or coconut milk. 
•  Using very ripe bananas is the key to giving these waffles an abundant flavor. 
• This recipe will yield about 3 large or 4 medium waffles, depending on your griddle size.
• Let the batter rest for a bit before cooking. It helps the oats to absorb the liquid properly, resulting in better-textured waffles.
