Healthy Banana Oat Waffles

These healthy banana oat waffles are gluten and refined sugar free and can be made dairy-free by replacing the buttermilk with soy milk.

My love affair with waffles is well documented on this blog. We have sweet ones, savoury ones… even mashed potato waffles. But so far there haven’t been any healthy waffle recipes – until now!

These Banana Oat Waffles may look decadent but they are super healthy, even suitable for diet plans like Slimming World and Weight Watchers.

These waffles are made with rolled oats blitzed to a fine powder to make oat flour. I added cacao powder, a banana and fat-free buttermilk…

So these slimming waffles are flour-free, sugar-free and gluten-free – provided you buy gluten-free oats. Add some sliced strawberries, a handful of nuts and a little maple syrup and you have a wonderful breakfast.

And if you have leftovers you can keep them in the fridge (or freezer) and toast them the next day. I can see a full-blown love affair with waffles starting to blossom although I can’t promise all of them will be this virtuous!

Course: Breakfast waffles
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 6 minutes
Total Time: 16 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Dry ingredients
  • 170 g | 6oz gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp raw cacao powder or cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 bicarbonate of soda
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Wet ingredients
  • 140 ml | 4.7fl oz low-fat buttermilk
  • 1 ripe medium banana chopped
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • cooking spray
  • strawberries almonds, maple syrup, dusting of icing sugar, to serve

Instructions

  • Put all the dry ingredients in the Vitamix container and blitz in short bursts until you have a fine powder. Tip this into a large bowl.
  • Put all the wet ingredients in your blender container and blitz until well blended.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ones and use a hand whisk to stir everything together until just combined. You will end up with a fairly thick batter. Set aside while the waffle maker heats up.
  • Preheat the waffle maker until the ready light indicator comes on and spray with a little cooking spray.
  • Pour enough batter to coat the centre of the waffle maker (about 1/2 cup) and then close. The batter should sizzle and will spread out as you close the machine. Cook for 4-6 minutes or until crisp. Repeat until you have used all of the batter.
  • Serve the waffles warm with a little maple syrup, sliced strawberries, a handful of chopped almonds or the toppings of your choice.

Notes

You can use soy milk instead of the buttermilk if you want to keep these dairy-free.

    Could you make the recipe without the vitamix? will the waffles stick to iron without the cooking spray? heard that you shouldn't use cooking spray on non stick finishes as it will ruin the non stick surface. thanks

      Hi Shelby – yes of course, any high power blender or processor can grind the oats. I agree re: cooking spray, this waffle maker requires some but my better non-stick one does not. Best follow manufacturer's instructions

    This upsets me -selected print option and ended up with 9 pages- multiple pictures of waffles – pictures of equipment used- of no use to me and waste of paper and ink – not very eco friendly. need to provide better print option. Thanks

      The more recent recipes on the blog have a printer friendly option. I am aware this is a problem and I sincerely apologise for the wasted paper – one option is to specify which pages you want to print.

    Ah Angela! We have all been there…. I threw out two things last week. Excited to see your cupcakes though – cupcakes are wonderful to photograph.
    To answer your first question, I did these before I started the new job. Now is when the going gets really tough!

    When did you find the time to knock these up? I'm in awe. These look really great. I love the colours.

    I had a mini melt-down as I made a cake last night, which was cooked perfectly, but I was so impatient I cut it while it was still warm… it split in two, melted the icing and I ended up dumping it in the communal kitchen at work and running before anyone could associate it with me!

    I now have a mound of mocha Italian Buttercream to use at home… coffee cupcakes I think! I can't face another chocolate cake… yes I really did write that!

    Omg! I absolutely love the photos and styling, gorgeous! Also, the waffles sound delicious, I am very partial to banana pancakes so these are just up my street, I am going to have to invest in a waffle maker methinks…

      Thanks Hannah! Am now reluctant to get rid of my old desk precisely because it looks so good in photos. I may have to keep it – will soon run out of room for us in the house, the props are taking over!
