Instructions

Blend ingredients: Place all the dry and wet ingredients into a blender or food processor. Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth, ensuring there are no remaining oat chunks. This helps create a light and uniform batter for fluffy waffles.
Rest the batter: Let the blended batter sit for 10 minutes. This resting time allows the oats to absorb the liquid, thickening the batter and improving the waffle texture.
Preheat waffle iron: Turn on your waffle iron and heat it to medium. Follow your waffle maker’s manual for recommended heat settings to avoid under or overcooking.
Cook the waffles: Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the center of the preheated waffle iron, according to your waffle maker’s instructions. Close the lid and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve: Carefully remove the waffles and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, yogurt, or additional maple syrup.

Notes

Use certified gluten-free oats to ensure the waffles remain gluten-free.
You can substitute coconut oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
Adjust the quantity of batter per waffle according to your waffle iron’s capacity.
Letting the batter rest helps improve texture but can be skipped in a hurry.
These waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for quick breakfasts.
