Healthy Blueberry Waffles
These low calorie waffles with blueberries are made with applesauce and flourless with oats, can be easily made gluten free and are perfect for a healthy version of an eggo waffle.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten Free Rolled Oats or regular 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!
Notes
- These waffles are made with applesauce to make them added sugar free. I prefer my food to be lower in sugar and that is what I recommend for my weight loss clients. If you would sweeter waffles, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of real maple syrup to the batter for added sweetness.
