Healthy Oatmeal Waffles Recipe

Learn how to make incredible Healthy Oatmeal Waffles with just six ingredients. They are so simple and can be made in around 15 minutes! They disappear so fast there won’t be a single crumb leftover.

There is a new coffee/waffle house that opened up near us that we wanted to try out. Not a “Waffle House” restaurant, but a cute little home that was converted into a little breakfast place. It is so super-cute but super-expensive!

If you have been around long on the Savor and Savvy, you know we just can’t stand spending an excessive amount of money on eating out like that! So we started a new quest to make our own healthy oatmeal waffles at home.

Creating this required a few rounds of trials to make sure it tasted “yummy” and wasn’t just “ok, this is healthy.” You know what I mean.

🍽️ Why This Recipe Works

Customizable: Make swaps and changes to give yourself an entirely new experience each time you make it.

Freezer-Friendly: When you have food that’s freezer-friendly, you can meal prep all sorts of things. These waffles are perfect for that. They reheat wonderfully

Frugal: All of the ingredients are inexpensive and you can make this meal quickly without spending much money.

🍓 Ingredients

Everything about these waffles is impressive! The flavor, the small number of ingredients needed, and the effortless way they are prepared are perfection. Let’s talk about the main ingredients:

Old Fashioned Oatmeal: You shouldn’t try to swap the old fashioned oats for “minute oats” because they won’t turn out too well. Using old fashioned oats gives you a wonderful texture and will taste great also.

Banana: Adding a banana means you are adding natural sweetness without needing refined sugars. That is a massive win because so many of us add sugar to everything.

Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt provides a boost of protein as well as probiotics and calcium too.

🧇 Instructions

Step One: Combine the oatmeal, greek yogurt, banana, vanilla extract, eggs, and baking powder to your food processor. Mix it well. Add milk until you get to the consistency you would like. This took me about one cup, but add a little in at a time.

The yogurt makes this much thicker and so I would pour in about ¼ cup at first and add the remaining if needed, and mix to get the right consistency. This is enough batter to make four waffles.

Step Two: Pour ¼ of the batter (it will depend on your waffle iron) into a pre-heated waffle iron and close the lid. Follow the direction of your waffle iron for when you need to turn it off, open or turn. There are too many variations out there to give specifics on this so follow the directions of your specific waffle iron.

Step Three: Top with your favorite fresh fruit and serve!

❗ Expert Tips
