Hey there! I’ve got another healthy waffle recipe for you. 

These days, I’m a big fan of blender waffles and pancakes. You just throw everything in the blender, blend it up, and voila! Waffles or pancakes are ready. It’s so easy, right?

Well, I was on the hunt for some easy but healthy protein-rich breakfast recipes, and I stumbled upon this one. I’ve tried it a bunch of times now, and I’ve tweaked it a bit to suit our taste preferences. It’s become one of our favorites!  

And guess what? We don’t add any dairy here - no milk, yogurt, or even dairy-free milk. And the best part? No added sugar or sweetener either and also using gluten free oats. These banana oat waffles are packed with nutrients and can even be packed for kids’ lunches or snack boxes. They’ll keep you full until your next meal!

I’m always on the hunt for yummy, quick, and healthy breakfast ideas to kickstart our days. It’s like a culinary adventure! 

Ingredients:

1. Rolled oats - 1 cup (I used organic sprouted rolled oats)
2. Eggs - 2 nos
3. Well Ripe Banana - 2 nos
4. Peanut butter / Almond butter (unsweetened) - 2 Tbsp
5. Baking powder - 1 tsp
6. Salt- a pinch
7. Vanilla extract- 1 tsp
8. For serving- Honey, fresh fruits - optional and as needed

Method:

Let’s get started with making these gluten free, protein packed waffles. First, take the oats and pulse them in the blender jar for a few seconds. This step is totally optional, so feel free to skip it if you’re short on time. If you are having a small blender, you can do them separately as well and mix it in a bowl. If your blender is big enough, throw in all the ingredients except the honey, fresh fruits, and blend it up like a magic wand! 

Before you start making waffles, make sure the waffle iron is preheated. Once it reaches the right temperature, the green light will turn on. If you have adjustable settings, I recommend starting with level 1. If you want your waffles extra crispy, you can increase the temperature to level 2 or even higher, depending on your preference. We usually prefer level 1. 

Once it’s hot, pour the batter into the the pan and close it  and cook until it’s done. It will take around 2 mins depending on on the size of the waffle pan and the settings. Once the green light turns on which denotes it’s done, open the lid and remove it from the waffle. Repeat the process for the remaining batter. 

 

Serve these protein packed waffles  piping hot with fresh fruits and your favorite toppings, like honey or maple syrup. Yum!
