I love experimenting with a variety of grains in my baking, not only in an effort to focus on nutrition but also to keep things interesting.ย  These oat waffles are one example and they’ve become a favorite in our home.

We all agree that the oats contribute more flavor and a better flavor than the standard wheat waffles.ย  They also have a terrific texture of crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

And if you happen to be gluten sensitive or intolerant, these oat waffles are naturally gluten-free.ย  Just make sure to use oat flour that is certified gluten-free.

Hot off the waffle iron, spread with butter and drizzled with maple syrup, you’re family is sure to love these oat waffles!

Before we get started I want to introduce you to one of my all-time favorite gadgets that has not only made baking with a large variety of healthy grains a breeze but will in the long run save money because in many cases it is much cheaper to grind your grains than to buy them.

Probably the most used and my most favorite countertop appliance in my kitchen is my KoMo Classic Grain Mill.ย  Made in Germany with a 12-year warranty, this workhorse creates stone-ground flour that is as fine or as coarse as you want it.ย  I don’t buy flour any more, I grind everything myself, including my own cornmeal and a large variety of different flours, both gluten and gluten-free.ย  I can’t say enough good things about the KoMo Classic Grain Mill.

For this recipe I’m using my own freshly ground oat flour.ย  Alternatively you can buy quality oat flour online, in health food stores or in the health food section of well-stocked grocery stores.

Let’s get started!

In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon (if using).

For both flavor and texture, I like to use a combination of both coconut oil and butter for these waffles.ย  However, if you prefer you can double up and use one or the other.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, coconut oil, butter, eggs and vanilla extract.ย  Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir just until combined (be careful not to over-stir).ย  Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes or until it has thickened up a bit.

Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown.

  1. I would love to make the waffles and I wonder whether I can substitute almond milk maybe with a bit of lemon juice (I make my own almond milk) for buttermilk?

  2. Just made these for breakfast today (05/05/20) and they were wonderful!! Thanks for the recipe. My husband loved them. He has a gluten intolerance and he enjoyed these so much!!

  3. My daughter is allergic to Coconut oil. We found out a few years ago, that it was the single root cause of Alopecia she suffered then, but has recovered from as a result of removing all coconut anything from her diet, shampoos, toiletries…etc. I really want to make these, because she is also gluten sensitive. Will the all butter still give them that light fluffiness inside?

    1. Hi Regina, yes, you can definitely use butter. Oil creates a moister crumb than butter does, so alternatively you can also substitute any other oil.

      1. I haven’t tried this yet either, as I am staying away from coconut and dairy. Can I use avocado oil instead? Maybe I will just try it and see.
