# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups rolled oats
02 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
05 - 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1 cup milk, dairy or unsweetened plant-based
08 - 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
09 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
10 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Preheat the waffle iron following the manufacturer's guidelines.
02 - Pulse the rolled oats in a blender or food processor until they reach a fine flour-like consistency.
03 - In a large bowl, mix the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt thoroughly.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, eggs, milk, melted coconut oil or butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey if using.
05 - Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
06 - Lightly grease the waffle iron. Pour approximately one-third cup of batter per waffle and close the iron. Cook 3 to 5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
07 - Remove waffles from the iron, keep warm, and repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with desired toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or nut butter.
