Gluten-Free Gingerbread Waffles
These gluten-free gingerbread waffles are made right in the blender with just a few simple ingredients. They are crisp on the outside and soft and tender on the side made with hearty rolled oats as the base!
Servings: 6 mini waffles
Equipment
Ingredients
- ¾ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup milk
- 2 tbsp mild-tasting oil
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp molasses
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a high-powered blender.
- Blend at high speed until the mixture is smooth. Let the batter sit in the blender for at least 5 minutes to ensure that the oats can absorb all of the liquids as you preheat the waffle maker.
- Preheat the waffle iron for 5 minutes. Once preheated, pour an even layer of batter into the iron and cook according to your waffle maker's instructions. My waffles took about 3.5 minutes in my mini waffle maker.
- Once cooked, gently remove the waffle from the waffle maker and repeat for the remaining batter. Let the waffles cool completely before serving. Makes 6 mini waffles or 2 full-sized waffles.
Notes
- I use this nutribullet blender to blend the ingredients into a smooth batter. Make sure to let the batter rest in the blender for at least 5 minutes before pouring it into the waffle maker to ensure that the oats have time to absorb the moisture.
- Do not overfill your waffle maker with batter. The waffles will rise slightly during cooking and may not cook properly if overfilled.
- You may need to spray your waffle iron with a little cooking spray depending on the type of waffle maker you have to prevent sticking. I love using this mini waffle maker or this multi mini waffle maker to make small eggo-sized waffles and no spraying is needed!
