These healthy oat waffles are fluffy, delicious and gluten-free too! The best part is these delicious waffles whip up in a blender so they are incredibly easy to make.
I love easy breakfast recipes and this Healthy Oat Waffles recipe is one of them. Super easy, hardly any hands-on time needed, and all of the hard work is done by your kitchen appliances! That is my kind of recipe.
This oat waffle recipe whips up in a blender. It’s as easy as adding in the ingredients and blending them until smooth. Then the waffle iron takes over and voila! Breakfast is served!
Crisp, fluffy waffles without the hassle!
Not only is this recipe easy to do, but it is great for meal prep too. You can whip up a whole bunch of waffles and freeze them for future breakfasts or desserts. I love having a freezer stash of these around for those busy days.
Oh, and it definitely doesn’t hurt that it is made up of wholesome ingredients.
Ingredients in Healthy Oat Waffles
- Oats: be sure to use gluten free oats for a gluten free waffle. Quick cooking oats or rolled oats work well for this recipe.
- Baking powder: leavener.
- Salt: a little salt enhances the flavor of the waffles without making them savory.
- Eggs
- Milk: any kind of milk. Non-dairy milks can be used for a dairy-free waffle.
- Coconut oil: melted. You can replace this with melted butter if you wish to.
- Vanilla extract: for flavor.
- Maple syrup: Sweetener.

How to make oat waffles in a blender
- Blend batter. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- Let it rest. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes.
- Cook waffles. Heat waffle iron on medium heat and pour batter into the center of the iron (as much batter as your waffle iron requires. [Note: Read your waffle maker manual to see the recommendations for batter quantity and cook times.] Close lid and cook for approximately 5 minutes or as long as your waffle maker requires.
Storing leftover waffles
Once cooled completely, the waffles can be placed in an airtight container and stored in the fridge. They will keep for a couple of days this way. Waffles can be frozen for longer storage.
To reheat waffles, I pop them in the toaster on low heat. Waffles can also be reheated in the oven at 375F until heated through.
Freezing waffles
Once cooled, waffles can be transferred to a freezer bag and frozen for a few months. I recommend placing a bit of parchment paper between the waffles to prevent sticking.
I hope you enjoy these gluten-free oat waffles as much as we do! We just love making these on a weekend, served up with maple syrup, butter (Cinnamon Butter makes these extra delicious!), and fresh fruit. I also love drizzling on some warmed peanut butter or even nutella for a dessert-like waffle that is so satisfying.
