Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (or a non-dairy alternative)
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (or any cooking oil)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional: Add-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Allow the mixture to sit for about 15 minutes until the oats have softened.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg, melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract.
- Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the softened oats and stir until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the baking powder and salt. Add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If you’d like to include any add-ins, gently fold them into the batter at this point.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron if necessary. Pour in the recommended amount of batter (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup), close the lid, and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or syrup. To store, let the waffles cool completely, then freeze them between layers of parchment paper in an airtight container.
Enjoy these delicious waffles any day of the week!
