Description
Delicious and nutritious oatmeal waffles topped with fresh raspberries and optional syrup, perfect for brunch or breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup dry roasted and lightly salted cashews
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- Toppings as desired
- 1–1/2 cups fresh raspberries (6 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons flax seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron. If you won’t be eating waffles right away and want to keep waffles warm, see note 5.
- Add everything in the order listed to a high-powered blender. Blend until completely smooth, about 90–120 seconds. Scrape sides and blend longer if needed. The batter is ready when there aren’t any chunks of oats or cashews.
- If your waffle iron or pan has a nonstick surface, don’t use cooking spray. If it doesn’t have a nonstick surface, grease with cooking spray. Add 1/3 cup of batter from the blender into each cavity. Use all the batter—scraping it out with a spatula if needed. Most waffle irons will signal to let you know the waffle is done. If your waffle maker doesn’t have that feature, watch for the steam to stop seeping out the sides. Never open your iron until the steam has stopped! Right out of the waffle iron, place each waffle on a wire cooling rack.
- Serve waffles as is or with a drizzle of syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, and/or fresh fruit (like bananas or strawberries).
- Optional Raspberry Smash: Prepare while waffles are cooking. In a small bowl, mash the raspberries with a fork. Add in the flaxseeds and mix through. Serve atop waffles with a drizzle of syrup.
Notes
- Note 2: Melted coconut oil can be replaced with other oils.
- Note 3: Use any type of milk, including plant-based alternatives.
- Note 5: To keep waffles warm, place them in a low oven until ready to serve.
