Healthy, Gluten-Free Waffles

These can be made with whatever oats you have on hand - if you are very GF sensitive, be sure to use GF oats.

Equipment

  • Waffle Maker (I use a super basic round electric waffle maker)

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Tbsp Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (any milk will work)
  • 1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 Lg Eggs
  • 1 - 2 Bananas (see notes)
  • 1 Apple (see notes)
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon (seasonal option: Pumpkin Spice!!)
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1¼ C Oats
  • 4 Tbsp Melted Coconut Oil
  • 2 tsp Maple Syrup

Instructions
 

  • Combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar and set aside for 5+ minutes.
  • Melt the coconut oil, if needed, and set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a blender, add eggs, banana, apple (cut into small pieces for easier blending), maple syrup, vanilla, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, then add the oats.
  • Once you're ready to blend, add the almond milk vinegar combo, and start your blender. Carefully pour in your melted coconut oil. (You can omit adding oil last if all of your ingredients are at room temperature; however, if your milk and eggs etc are cold, then I add the oil this way to keep it from re-solidifying too much).
  • Once fully blended, let sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken the batter while you heat up the waffle maker.
  • Spray your waffle maker with oil between each waffle. Follow your waffle makers instructions for heating and for the quantity of batter. With my waffle maker I add 3/4 C batter and cook for 7-8 minutes each, this results in 4 large waffles.
  • When you remove the waffle from the waffle maker, place it on a wire rack instead of a plate until ready to eat, otherwise the waffle could get soggy.
  • ENJOY!

Notes

I have made this recipe with only apples (use two) or only bananas (use two). I most often make this with one banana and one apple. I use gala apples because that's usually what we have around. If I have a lot of ripe bananas, I throw in 2 bananas and one apple. 
You can play around with spices depending on what you like. Add a pinch of nutmeg, or sub out the cinnamon for cardamom if you want something a little more exotic. 
I haven't tried it yet, but I am sure you could sub out the apple for pear!
This is a very forgiving recipe. Have fun, enjoy.
