Simple Banana Oatmeal Waffles
These waffles are simple to put together and are great for brunch. The oatmeal gives them a nice texture and the sweetness from the bananas mean no added sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup corn starch
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, optional
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2 medium ripe bananas mashed
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk or any kind of milk you'd like
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250°F and preheat your waffle iron.
- Place the butter in a small bowl and microwave in 15 second increments until the butter is melted. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, almond milk, and oats. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- While the banana oat mixture is sitting, mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon (if using), and salt in a small bowl.
- Once the banana oat mixture is done soaking, add the eggs and melted butter. Mix to combine.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Spray the waffle iron with cooking spray or brush with oil. Spoon 3/4 cup of the batter into the waffle iron and spread slightly. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Transfer the waffles to a rack in the oven to keep warm and crispy. Make more waffles until you use up all of the batter.
Notes
- 3/4 cup of batter is perfect for my waffle iron, but this could vary depending on your waffle iron.
- I like to flip my waffles and cook them longer as I like crispier waffles.
- These waffles freeze well. I wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then place them into a freezer bag.
