Any waffle lovers out there? I am waving both my hands in the air! As you can see from the recipe archives I am very fond of waffles, sweet or savoury.

These healthy oat waffles were born out of my need for a Slimming World waffle recipe that’s low in Syns (approx 3 per waffle) but still delicious!

HEALTHY WAFFLE INGREDIENTS

These waffles are flourless – I have used oats blitzed to a fine powder instead of flour. Use gluten free oats if preferred. There’s approximately 3 syns per waffle without any toppings.

• Eggs
• Skimmed milk (or non dairy milk)
• A little lemon juice (to sour the milk)
• Melted low fat spread such as Flora Light
• Rolled oats 
• Sweetener (I like Sukrin for all my slimming recipes)
• Bicarbonate of soda / baking powder
• A little cinnamon (or you can use vanilla or almond extract)
• Low calorie cooking spray for the waffle maker

HOW TO MAKE OAT WAFFLES

Full measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page. Please take a look at the steps and video before attempting this recipe!

Combine the milk and lemon juice and leave for 5 minutes or use low fat buttermilk if you like. Add the eggs, coconut oil and vanilla extract and stir to combine.

Blitz the rolled oats in a food processor until you have a fine powder and add to a mixing bowl. Add all remaining dry ingredients (sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, salt) and stir to combine.

Add the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Leave the batter to rest for at least 15 minutes so that the oats absorb some of the moisture.

Heat your waffle maker (I am using the Sage No Mess Waffle Maker) and mist with cooking spray. Add enough batter to the centre of the waffle maker (to cover approx. ¾ of area) and close the lid. 

Cook until the waffle is golden and crisp then transfer to a cooling rack. Continue with remaining batter until you use it all up. Don’t stack the waffles while still warm as they will lose their crispness.

Serve with fresh fruit and a little maple syrup or honey or take a look at some more topping ideas below.

Freezing Waffles

These waffles freeze beautifully so make a double batch to have a healthy treat on stand by! Simply cool the waffles and pop in a large ziplock bag. You can toast them straight from frozen – what could be easier?

WAFFLE TOPPING IDEAS

You can top my healthy waffles your favourite toppings, here’s just a few ideas

• Maple syrup and fresh fruit 
• A drizzle of honey and handful of walnuts
• Low calorie Sweet Freedom syrup
• Vanilla yogurt with strawberries
• Serve warm with low fat frozen yogurt for dessert!
