These Oatmeal Waffles are so delicious, hearty and will keep your energy soaring for hours, just like regular oatmeal does. The whole grains in them keeps your blood sugar stable and they are are great for your heart and your waist! Yay Breakfast!! (or snack or lunch or …whatever)
I always make a few extra waffles so I can make my amazing PB&J Waffle Sandwich. NOTE-these Oatmeal Waffles are not light and fluffy like flour made waffles are but instead and thick, dense and heart which is what makes them so filling and great for the PB & J Waffle Sandwiches.
This Oatmeal Waffle recipe is mildly adapted from the book From Food for Life by Neal Barnard, M.D. That book has some really wonderful recipes worth trying out. All of his books are amazing and life changing, check them out!!
If you want to naughty these up, top with fresh berries, pure maple syrup and Cashew Cream.

- This Belgian waffle iron with removable plates is similar to the one I had the most success with these in. Being able to put the plates in the dishwasher is an amazing feature.
- Coombs Family Farms Maple Syrup is the brand I love the most. Although, Kirkland from Costco is a close second. Shop around to get the best deal but be sure to use pure maple syrup because the other stuff is just junk and so bad for you!

Waffles
|
- 2 Cups rolled oats
- 2 Cups water
- 1 Medium banana
- 1 Pinch salt
Ingredients
|
|
- Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Let stand a few minutes to thicken. It should be easily pourable.
- Pour 1/3 of the mixture into a heated, oil-sprayed waffle iron. Cook for 10 minutes without lifting the lid.
- After 10 minutes lift the lid and check the waffle. If the edges are still wet cook longer.
PLEASE NOTE: Sometimes the edges are still a little uncooked. It is best to lower the temp on the waffle iron and let them cook a little longer. It can take a little practice to get the timing right for your specific waffle iron but once you do, these are the BEST.
If you want to naughty these up, top with fresh berries, pure maple syrup and Cashew Cream.
Experiment with vanilla powder or extract, cinnamon, pumpkin spice or anything your mind can think of. Just keep things clean and whole food, plant based.
Final note, always makes extras so you can make my amazing PB&J Waffle Sandwich.
These look fantastic! What a great way to start off your morning!
These look delicious, and I’m not a big fan of oatmeal. I stick to making the typical Chocolate Waffles. Thanks for sharing this. Maybe I’ll try not to be so intimidated by oatmeal and try this recipe.
Those are some of the most delectable looking waffles I have ever seen! My goodness!
Thank you that is very kind. It is funny how adding some nice props can make food look really good but the funny thing about these is they don’t really need props because they are so good but it sure helps people notice 🙂
These look Yum Yum Yummy! Will try them for breakfast tomorrow. Nice photos, too (found you on foodgawker 🙂
Thanks Lexie!
found these on food gawker and making them for dinner tonight. Husband is working late and the kids love breakfast for dinner!
Hope they love them as much as we do! Breakfast for dinner is the best.
Thanks

Do you use a regular waffle iron or a belgian style iron? I’m curious how this batter would work in the latter.
Thanks and they look great!
I use a regular waffle iron. Not sure how a Belgian waffle iron would work but probably. Good luck, let me know how it works.
What setting did you put the iron on? I don’t want them to burn if I leave them in there for 10 minutes if my waffle iron is too hot.
I have a waffle iron that is just on or off with no settings. I pour in the batter and wait the 8-10 minutes it takes to cook it and the light to go off indicating it is done. It works perfect every time. Good luck with yours

Great stuff! I’ve made this recipe twice and have decided to put in two bananas instead of two.
Thanks!
I’m glad to hear they work out well for you.
Kim
Just made these and they were delish! But instead of using all plain oats I used half plain and half of the packet kind to increase the flavor and also protein because I used the weight control kind.. 2 packets is equal to 1/2 cup. Thank you so much for this recipe, big hit for me 🙂
Heather,
I’m so glad they worked out for you and you love them. I love the idea of adding a flavored packet. I think it would be great to try some of the fruit flavored kind. Thanks for the tip.
Kim
THE. FREAKING. BEST.
This just became my go-to waffle recipe. And it made my apartment smell like BANANA BREAD!
So glad you liked it Lauren! I love them too and yes they do make your kitchen smell amazing.
Kim
Thank you Veggie Gal! This was my favorite recipe a few years ago, but I lost it. I’ve been searching for this recipe for a year! THANK YOU SOO MUCH! I’m making these in the morning! YAY!!
Krystal,
I’m so glad to have helped you find an old favorite!

Wow, these were great. I made them in a belgian waffle iron for 20 minutes on med-high heat, and pulsed the blended batter with some fresh blueberries in the blender before cooking to make them blueberry oatmeal waffles. I think they don’t come out exactly right in the belgian iron, but they still taste great, and I LOVE the ingredients. I actually don’t feel bad eating these, haha.
