Flourless Gingerbread Waffles or Pancakes
These flourless gingerbread waffles or pancakes are like your favorite Christmas cookies, but in breakfast form. (#YAY) They’re sweetened with molasses, generously spiced with ginger and cinnamon, oil and refined sugar-free and naturally gluten-free dairy-free.
In our house, waffles or pancakes, along with pizza, are the favorite food of my kiddos. If I mention waffles or pancakes, they launch themselves off the floor in a jump of happiness and excitement and yell, “Yay! Pancakes!”
And these gingerbread waffles or pancakes are difficult not to love. I’ve already made them twice this month. I store leftovers in the fridge for a quick snack with a little almond butter slathered over the top. The perfect healthier treat to enjoy this time of year!
Not only are these waffles and pancakes deliciously flavored, they’re so easy to whip up. Simply mix up all of the ingredients in a blender and then pour the batter on a griddle or in a waffle iron. Fabulous for the lazy girl… or just really efficient!
They are the perfect warm, comforting start to any chilly winter morning, and they’d be a great brunch or breakfast-in-bed treat, or a fabulous Christmas morning meal.
These comforting and flavorful flourless gingerbread waffles or pancakes will likely become a yearly holiday tradition! Give them a try! They’re:
Warm
Cozy and comforting
Simple
Festive
And so scrumptious!

They are AMAZING!! 🤩
hands down the best oat waffle recipe ever!!!!!!!
I honestly thought the batter would be too thin for waffles but to my surprise they came out just perfect. The flavor is delicious too. I appreciate the fact that there was no need to add sugar. Thank you for the recipe!
Yay! So glad you enjoyed and thanks so much for your comment!
I just made a batch of waffles out of this recipe. UHHH MAZING! I was so pleasantly shocked to discover that these need no sweetener. I DID have to add some oat fiber and extra oats as the batter was SO very loose. Tightened up perfectly, and STILL delicious without sweetener. Just wow, and will be a brekky go to year round.
Thanks so much for your comment, Donna! So glad you enjoyed!
These be become my new favourite breakfast. I make them into waffles but found the recipe to be too thick, so I added an extra half cup of almond milk. They were perfect! They come out light and fluffy! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
That’s awesome! And I’m so glad you were able to make it work for you.
My mouth is watering after seeing these lol. The recipe is just awesome Kim, what would you suggest other than pomegranate for topping purposes? Actually I want my wife to make it for my kids and but my son doesn’t like pomegranate so I want her to put something else on it.
I honestly enjoy these with just a drizzle of maple syrup, but pear slices and/or raspberries would also be amazing. If you’ve got a bit more time this apple cinnamon topping would also be wonderful – https://www.kimscravings.com/2015/08/cinnamon-protein-waffles-with-warm-apple-topping/ Enjoy!
Lovely waffles! Oats instead of flour just made these pancakes healthier!
Can I use GF flour instead of oats?
That should work just fine, if you’re using a 1 to 1 type flour, like Bob’s Red Mill GF baking flour. You might try this recipe and just sub the whole wheat for the GF flour. Enjoy! https://www.kimscravings.com/2015/11/skinny-gingerbread-pancakes/
