When it comes to savory dishes, anything with eggs is always a favorite, like these devilled eggs, baked eggs with salmon, or a delicious gluten-free quiche.
But I also love sweet treats! Lemon-flavored recipes feel perfect for Easter, like these lemon bars. And a classic carrot cake is always a hit.
Scones are also a must-have for Easter brunch. Want to serve something sweet for Easter that’s also a bit healthy? Then you have to try these healthy gluten-free oat waffles!
The ingredients of the healthy gluten-free oat waffles
The ingredients for these healthy waffles are super simple, chances are, you already have most of them at home:
- 40g (about ½ cup) oats – Blend them into oat flour using a blender or food processor. You can also buy pre-made oat flour. Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats/oat flour if you need a strict gluten-free option.
- 1 banana
- 1 egg
- 75ml (about ⅓ cup) unsweetened almond milk or any milk of your choice
- A pinch of salt
Simply combine all the ingredients into a batter, then cook them in your waffle iron.
I love serving these waffles with fresh berries, like blueberries and raspberries, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
This recipe makes two waffles, but you can easily double or triple it if you’d like to make four or six waffles.
Variation Ideas
You can get creative with these healthy waffles, both with the batter and the toppings:
- Chocolate waffles – Add 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder to the batter.
- Chocolate chip waffles – Stir in 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips.
- Nutty waffles – Mix in some chopped pecans or walnuts.
- Pumpkin spiced waffles – Add 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice to the batter.
Other delicious waffle toppings include:
- A dollop of (lactose-free) Greek yogurt
- Lemon curd with fresh strawberries
- Banana slices with chocolate shavings or peanut butter
