Instructions for Blueberry Waffles That Pop with Flavor
Grab your blender and toss in ripe bananas, hearty gluten-free oats, farm-fresh eggs, creamy oat milk, aromatic vanilla, warm cinnamon, golden maple syrup, rich ghee, and fluffy baking powder. Blend everything until silky smooth.
Gently fold fresh blueberries into the liquid mixture, allowing their sweet juices to swirl through the batter.
Let the waffle mixture sit quietly for a few moments, allowing the ingredients to meld and absorb moisture, creating a more harmonious blend.
Heat up your waffle iron and give it a quick spritz of non-stick spray. Pour the vibrant batter into the sizzling griddle, transforming liquid into crispy golden delights.
Cook each waffle until it reaches a gorgeous golden-brown color with delightful crispy edges, typically around 5-6 minutes.
Transfer your freshly made waffles to a cooling rack, then crown them with extra blueberries, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy your gluten-free morning masterpiece!

- Yield: 5 1x
Description
Homemade blueberry waffles offer a delightful breakfast experience with crisp edges and juicy berries. Fresh ingredients combine to create a morning meal that will satisfy sweet cravings and comfort hungry diners.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 ripe bananas
- 6 oz (170 g) blueberries, rinsed and drained
- 1.5 cups gluten free rolled oats
- 2 tsps baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Planet Oat Original Oatmilk
- 0.5 tbsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsps melted ghee
Instructions
- Preparation: Combine ripe bananas, gluten-free rolled oats, eggs, oat milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, maple syrup, ghee, and baking powder in a high-powered blender.
- Blending: Pulse ingredients on high speed for 45-60 seconds until achieving a smooth, lump-free batter with consistent texture.
- Berry Integration: Delicately incorporate whole blueberries throughout the mixture, ensuring gentle distribution without damaging the fruit.
- Resting Phase: Let the batter sit for 3-4 minutes, allowing oats to absorb liquid and slightly thicken the consistency.
- Waffle Iron Setup: Warm the waffle maker to medium-high heat and lightly spray cooking surfaces with non-stick spray to prevent adhesion.
- Batter Distribution: Allocate batter into the waffle iron’s center, spreading evenly to reach grid edges and create uniform thickness.
- Cooking Process: Seal the waffle maker and cook for 5-6 minutes until exterior develops a crisp, golden-brown surface with well-defined grid patterns.
- Plating: Extract waffles using a heat-resistant spatula, placing them on a wire rack to preserve crispness and prevent sogginess.
- Finishing Touch: Embellish with additional fresh blueberries, a delicate powdered sugar sprinkle, or a luxurious maple syrup drizzle before serving.
Notes
- Optimize Batter Consistency: Blend ingredients thoroughly to create a smooth, lump-free mixture that ensures even cooking and perfect waffle texture.
- Master Blueberry Distribution: Gently fold berries to prevent crushing, maintaining whole fruit integrity and preventing color bleeding into the batter.
- Rest for Better Results: Allow batter to sit 3-4 minutes, enabling oats to absorb moisture and naturally thicken, which improves overall waffle structure.
- Crispy Waffle Technique: Use medium-high heat and non-stick spray to achieve golden-brown edges and maintain a crisp exterior without burning.
