Healthy Blueberry Oat Waffles
These healthy waffles are made flourless with oats! I love oats in my baked goods because they’re high fiber. Fiber is so important for weight loss!
These waffles are also sugar free made with unsweetened applesauce (love this as a healthy substitute to sugar), a little lemon juice, vanilla extract and of course, blueberries to sweeten the deal!
They’re perfect for a breakfast treat, snack and easy to meal prep and freeze for a rainy day or holiday.

How To Make Blueberry Waffles
Start by making oat flour. It’s easy to do with rolled oats! Measure and blend in a food processor or blender with all ingredients except the blueberries. When the batter is smooth, fold the blueberries in by hand.
I recommend using frozen wild blueberries for this batter that have been thawed prior to baking. I’ve found frozen do better in this recipe instead of fresh blueberries. I like the wild blueberries because they’re smaller which means the batter won’t break from the weight of the blubs!
Once your batter is ready, add half of it to a preheated waffle maker. I spray mine with avocado oil to prevent sticking. Note, I have a double waffle maker so if yours is smaller you will use a quarter of the batter.
This batter will be very thick and take slightly longer to bake than other waffle batters, but it will spread during baking and turn out golden brown with a little patience!
I also want to note that I do not like my waffles (or any food) very sweet. These waffles are sugar free so, if you like yours sweeter than you could add one or two tablespoons of real maple syrup to the batter. My weight loss clients find after working with me that they don’t need this though. 😉

What I Used For The Recipe
These waffles were amazing. Whenever I make “healthy” recipes they are always disgusting or they turn out weird. These actually just tasted like a really good waffle.
Fantastic to hear! I’m so glad you liked them and thanks for sharing.
