What Makes These Oat Waffles So Good?

Here’s the deal—most gluten-free breakfast recipes either taste like cardboard or fall apart mid-bite. Not these. This recipe hits different.

• Whipped up with oat flour—a clean, gluten-free whole grain that kicks off your morning on a healthier note.
• Perfect for meal prep and freezer-friendly
• Customizable: go sweet or savory

Waffles made with oat flour give you that subtle nutty flavor, loads of fiber, and they don’t spike your blood sugar like white flour does.

Ingredients for Gluten-Free Oat Waffles

Here’s what you need to make the best gluten-free oat flour waffles:

• 1½ cups oat flour (certified gluten-free)
  
• 2 tsp baking powder
  
• ½ tsp sea salt
  
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or coconut sugar
  
• 2 eggs (or flax eggs for vegans)
  
• 1¼ cups milk (dairy-free works great)
  
• ¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  

Pro Tip: Don’t have oat flour? Just toss some rolled oats into a blender or food processor and blitz ’em until you get a fine, flour-like texture.

 Boom—homemade gluten-free oat flour.

How to Make Crispy Gluten-Free Oat Waffles

Let me break it down:

1. Whisk together the dry ingredients—oat flour, a pinch of salt, a little sugar, and some gluten-free baking powder to get things started.
2. Add wet stuff: eggs, milk, melted fat, vanilla. Mix until smooth.
3. That short rest helps it thicken up and makes your waffles come out way better.
4. Cook in waffle iron: golden brown = perfection.
   

Want them extra crispy? Let them cool on a wire rack—no stacking or they’ll go soggy on you. Real talk.
