Ingredients

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats gluten free as needed
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or other milk
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 medium ripe banana
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 packet stevia or other preferred sweetener (optional)
Optional toppings: almond/peanut butter, coconut butter, coconut oil, honey, maple syrup and/or fresh fruit

Instructions

Preheat waffle iron and spray with cooking spray.
Blend all ingredients in a blender until almost smooth. If the batter seems overly thin, let it rest for about 5-10 minutes to give the oats time to soak up all the moisture.
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 crispier, otherwise these will be very soft.
Continue with the rest of the batter. Depending on the size of your waffle iron, recipe should make about 4 waffles. Enjoy with your favorite toppings!

Notes

Leftovers: These will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. To keep in the refrigerator, store them in an airtight container. To store waffles in the freezer, wrap them individually in plastic wrap, then place all the wrapped waffles in a large freezer bag.

Reheating: For best results, reheat in the toaster oven. They will come out crunchy and golden brown. If you’re starting with frozen waffles, you’ll want to add an additional 1-2 minutes to the toasting time. I find that with my toaster oven, a refrigerated waffle needs to toast for 5 minutes, and a frozen waffle will cook in 7 minutes.
