Gluten Free Banana Oat Waffles
Healthy Gluten Free Banana Oat Waffles are light, crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside, clean eating waffles. They will satisfy your waffle craving while you stay on track with health/fitness goals!
Have I mentioned how much I adore waffles? Well, if you weren’t aware, waffles are my breakfast favorite. Since I’ve been back on the 21 Day Fix EXTREME diet plan, waffles have been nonexistent in my breakfast regimen. It’s been all about the oats and egg whites. That’s all fine and good (I actually really like oatmeal and egg white omelets), but a girl has to get her waffle fill from time to time. 21 Day Fix EXTREME approved Gluten Free Banana Oat Waffles to the rescue!
I can’t wait for you guys to give these beauties a try- they’re filling. And easy. Plus (deep breath) flour-free, sugar-free, dairy-free and gluten-free – provided you buy gluten-free oats. Add some sliced strawberries, a handful of chopped almonds and a little maple syrup and you have one dreamy breakfast. And if you have leftovers you can keep them in the fridge (or freezer) and toast them the next day. It’s a full-blown love affair I’m having with these waffles. Give them a whirl and you’ll see exactly what I’m gushing about.
If you thought waffles were just a weekend treat thing, think again. Whip these up and you’ll see that these easy peasy gluten free banana oat waffles are perfect for any ol’ day. They’re:
satisfying
light and crispy
make-ahead
so simple and come together almost as quick as a bowl of cereal
… but waaaaaay more scrumptious!!
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats gluten free as needed
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or other milk product
- 11/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 packet stevia
- Optional toppings: almond/peanut butter coconut butter, coconut oil, honey, maple syrup and/or fresh fruit
- Preheat waffle iron and spray with cooking spray.
- Blend all ingredients in a blender until almost smooth.
- Pour about 3/4 cup batter onto waffle iron. Allow waffle to cook. I cook mine on the highest setting and a little longer from when the waffle iron goes off, so the waffles are a little crisper, otherwise these will be very soft waffles.
- Enjoy with your favorite toppings!
For 21 Day Fix meal plan, 1 waffle counts as 1 yellow and 1/2 purple.

You don’t have a waffle iron? You better get one asap! Mine was really cheap, but works like a charm and has been going for over 10 years. It’s similar to this one on Amazon. <—affiliate link
Happy waffling!
I have always been a waffle person! And with strawberries slowly coming back in season these sound like they would be delicious! Love the golden brown of those waffles too, what kind of waffle iron do you use?
I have a cheapy waffle iron and it does the trick just fine. Waffles are my favorite!
Yum! I’ve been scheming to get my fiance to buy me a waffle maker, and I can’t wait until we finally buy one because these will be on the list! I love that they are safe for my GF belly too 🙂 Delicious! Also, your photos are stunning! Pinned!
Thanks so much, Amy! Hope you get a waffle iron soon- they’re so worth it!
I make pancakes that are very similar all the time! I will have to try this waffle version!
For sure! Waffles are a delicious change-up!
It’s actually really hard to find good gluten free waffle recipes. Bookmarking this and hoping to make it SOON! <3
These are super delicious! Hope you get a chance to give them a try!
Dang it! I need a waffle maker.
That said, do you think it could work to substitute half the oats for gluten-free flour? Large amounts of oats can bother my tummy sometimes.
Yes, you do! And I’m sure the gluten-free flour would work just fine. Good luck!
Thanks, These were delicious.
These were amazing, sweeter than I expected. Calorie information was accurate as well, thank you! This was my first time making a batter and these were super easy to make too… I am wondering if the batter can be made in advance a day or two?
I’m so glad you loved the waffles as much as I do! I’ve never made the batter in advance. It would probably work, but you may need to add a little almond milk to it before cooking, to thin it out some. I have made the whole batch and then stored leftovers in the fridge for a week.
Great recipe thanks! So easy with minimal dishes and they turned out great. I’m saving this recipe!
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed… it’s one of my favorites too!
Hi Kim, these sound amazing. I am too debating whether to get a waffle iron as I love waffles but we have a small kitchen so I really have to think about that. Although your recipe might change my mind.
Thanks so much! I totally understand. I love waffles and have them almost every morning, so it’s one of my favorite appliances. Hope you get a chance to give them a try!
I actually ended up going out last night and buying a small inexpensive waffle iron. That’s how much I wanted to try your recipe and I did this morning. These waffles are amazing. I am so glad I found your recipe! Thanks again.
Please check out my blog, I mostly make smoothies: https://liveyourlifezestfully.wordpress.com/category/food/smoothies/
That’s awesome! And I’m so glad you enjoyed!!
This is an excellent recipe and has become my ‘go to’. You feel satiated after eating but not yucky full. The banana helps give some nutritional base so you’re not hungry in a half hour after just eating carbs. I’ve subbed a plantain for the banana and and added cardamom & it’s been great. I’ve also used a mix of other flours instead of the oat and it’s been excellent (blue corn, sorghum, millet) as well. The recipe is great as is and is also able to be successfully tinkered with.
That is so awesome to hear!! I love that all of your tweaks have worked out great. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment!
