They are gluten-free (if certified oats are used), packed with fiber and protein, and lightly flavored with cinnamon and vanilla. Perfect for a healthy start to your day or a wholesome snack.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 waffles

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2½ cups rolled oats, uncooked (use certified gluten free if needed)
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted, plus extra for greasing
  • ¾ cup mashed ripe bananas (can substitute unsweetened applesauce)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
  • ½ tablespoon vanilla paste
  • 1 cup loosely packed spinach

Instructions

  1. Prepare oat flour: In your blender, combine the rolled oats, salt, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Pulse until the oats break down into a fine flour-like texture. Transfer this oat flour mixture into a medium bowl and set aside.
  2. Blend wet ingredients and spinach: Rinse out your blender. Add the mashed banana, eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup or honey, spinach, and vanilla paste. Blend until completely smooth and the spinach is fully pureed without any visible chunks.
  3. Combine oat flour and wet mixture: Pour the oat flour mixture back into the blender with the wet ingredients. Blend again until everything is fully incorporated. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender once or twice to make sure all ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
  4. Preheat waffle iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the plates with coconut oil if needed to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook the waffles: Pour about ½ cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron. Close and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Cooking times may vary depending on your waffle iron model.
  6. Keep waffles warm: Carefully remove the cooked waffles and place them on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
  7. Serve or store: Enjoy the waffles warm immediately, or let them cool completely before storing in the refrigerator or freezer for later use.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, ensure you use certified gluten-free rolled oats.
  • If you don’t have vanilla paste, vanilla extract can be substituted.
  • Bananas add natural sweetness; if unavailable, unsweetened applesauce is a good substitute.
  • Adjust cooking times depending on your waffle iron to avoid undercooked or overly crisp waffles.
  • Waffles can be reheated in a toaster or oven for convenience.
