Blender Waffles
I’ve been holding out on you guys. Big time. I’ve known that there was this incredible, easy, delicious, pantry recipe for waffles for over two years now. And I’ve made said waffles approximately one billion times (give or take…) and never mentioned them.
I don’t deserve it, but will you forgive me?
Gluten-free, vegan, and cheap as heck, these waffles don’t make any sense. In fact, it took me a few years to actually make them, but when I did, I was ashamed I’d waited so long.
Yes, the ingredients really are oats, water, and a banana. Yes, it sounds kind of disgusting. And, get this, it really really works. It’s magic. The kind of magic you might appreciate on a Saturday morning when you’re hung over and in need of some carbs stat. Or maybe that’s just me.
But, seriously you guys, don’t take my word for it–just do it. You’ll be glad you did.

Aaaaah I want a waffle iron more than EVER now!
I need to replace my waffle iron – this may be the first thing I make when I get a new one!
I don’t make nearly enough waffles and I know it’s because of the hassle, whether that’s real or imagined. Now I have one less excuse, because I could whip up that batter in my sleep! So happy you shared it- Thank you! If only you could come up with an easier way to clean the waffle iron afterwards next…
I was just wondering what to do with the bananas slowly browning on top of our fridge! Maybe it’s time for a waffle dinner…with some roasted peaches on top? (Of course this would mean I’d have to roast peaches, but still.)
If only I had a waffle iron. It looks so good and easy, I’m going to have to somehow get a hold of one so I can make these waffles.
Whoa. Yes, you are forgiven! I’m going to be making this for MoFo soon because… whoa. Those ingredients! You are most definitely forgiven!
Now I finally have an excuse to buy that Texas shaped waffle maker I’ve had my eye on!
Whoa- that looks super easy and yummy. I’ve made a batter like this for french toast (with banana, almond milk, etc.) but never waffles.
Made them! It’s a tasty way for me to eat oatmeal without having to eat oatmeal! Thanks for sharing – better late than never!
How awesome is that! I love waffles and I love oatmeal!
Thank you for this great recipe, can’t wait to try it!
I am soooo excited with this recipe. My son who has many food allergies and sensory sensitivities liked it!
Can I make pancakes with this batter? My waffle iron is broken.
I haven’t tried it yet, but I’d guess that pancakes would work great!
