Easy & Healthy Banana Oatmeal Waffles
Banana oatmeal waffles are light, fluffy, and will get your day started out right! They contain plenty of fiber to fill you up and are naturally sweetened with bananas! My whole family loves them!
Servings: 6 medium waffles
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- ½ cup applesauce
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk or buttermilk
- 1 cup oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Turn on your waffle iron and allow it to preheat.
- In a medium bowl mash the bananas with a fork until they are well mashed and make a smooth paste.
- Add the applesauce and eggs and whisk to combine.
- Add the buttermilk and combine.
- Add the oats, wheat flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla and cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
- Cook the waffles according to the manufacturer instructions for your waffle iron.
- Serve with fresh banana slices, pure maple syrup, or honey.
Notes
- Be sure to use cooking spray on your waffle iron if needed. There is no oil in the recipe and they tend to stick badly in my waffle maker if I don't spray it with cooking oil first.
- Use very ripe, almost overripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and easier mashing.
- For extra crispiness, let the waffle batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- Feel free to add mix-ins like chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter for additional flavor and texture.
