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. 😉

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup Gluten Free Rolled Oats
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup blueberries frozen and thawed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a waffle maker to medium heat (2 or 3 setting if yours has one) and spray with avocado oil spray.
  • Add the rolled oats, applesauce, milk, lemon juice, vanilla extract and baking powder to a food processor or blend. Blend 1-2 minutes until smooth then remove and manually fold the blueberries into the batter by hand. The batter will be thick.
  • Add half the batter to the waffle maker and bake 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Note, I have a double waffle maker so if yours is smaller than you will use less batter ~1/2 cup.
  • Carefully remove the waffle from the waffle maker and set aside on a wire baking rack or plate. Repeat step 3 to cook the remaining batter.
  • Enjoy waffles immediately with 1-2 tablespoons of real maple syrup or drippy peanut butter. For meal prepping, cool completely then wrap in plastic wrap with foil over it and store in the refrigerator 5 days or in the freezer up to 60 days. Warm 30 seconds in the microwave!

    These are good. I doubled the recipe to keep in fridge for quick breakfasts. I don’t love them but I think they’ll be fine with peanut butter and yogurt. They’re a bit bland on their own. I did add a banana (half applesauce half banana for doubled recipe)and some cinnamon as well as a pinch of salt. I have a waffle maker that makes 2 waffles at a time and I got 9 waffles out of it. Batter is very thick but spreads out well in the waffle maker.

    I found this recipe on Pinterest. I am uncertain how there was enough batter for 4 waffles. I used this recipe in a traditional Belgian waffle maker and struggled to make 2. The batter was incredibly thick and difficult to spread around the waffle maker. Perhaps I didn't something wrong, but the result was disappointing.

      Hi Michelle, the batter should not be thick like you described. When this happens the batter has usually mixed too much as well as too much flour was measured. I make these all the time and guarantee they do turn out well!

    I'm very new to adapting to a whole new dietary change... while this was easy to make and sadly I made it one whole waffle lol I did think it was a bit bland. I will certainly try again and maybe play around with some additional flavors...thank you for sharing this recipe

    Please suggest a substitute for applesauce. I’m diabetic and even the unsweetened variety might raise my blood sugar levels. I’m trying to control my blood glucose with minimum medication. I don’t have to have my waffles sweet, so if applesauce is just added for a little sweetness, would omitting it from your recipe work?

      You could try omitting it, but it may change the texture and I'm not sure how the waffles will hold together as I've not tried it myself.

      If I were to swap, I'd try a mashed banana. I haven't tried it, but that's what I would do.

    How would you adjust the recipe to add protein powder?

      I didn't make the recipe with protein powder so I'm not sure what the ratios would be. If you try it, let me know. Curious!

    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.
