The Banana Oat Waffle comes together in just a few easy steps. Below is a detailed breakdown of the process so you can enjoy café-quality waffles from the comfort of your kitchen.
| Step | Procedure | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | In a blender or food processor, combine the rolled oats and blend until they form a coarse flour. Add the bananas, milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until smooth. | Make sure the bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness. |
| 2 | Transfer the batter to a bowl and gently stir in the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Mix until fully incorporated, but avoid overmixing. | The batter should be thick but pourable. |
| 3 | Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour in enough batter to cover the surface evenly and close the lid. | Cooking time will vary depending on your waffle iron. |
| 4 | Cook until golden brown and crisp on the edges, usually around 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully remove and repeat with remaining batter. | Serve immediately or keep warm in a low oven. |
Our Banana Oat Waffles are delicious on their own, but they also serve as the perfect canvas for a variety of toppings. At the cafe, we often serve them with a drizzle of honey, fresh fruit, and a spoonful of Greek yogurt. For a more indulgent twist, try peanut butter, dark chocolate chips, or a dusting of cinnamon powder.
Pair your waffle with a hot cup of coffee, a chai latte, or freshly brewed tea to create a complete and nourishing breakfast experience.
