One Bowl Blueberry Oat Flour Waffles
One Bowl Blueberry Oat Flour Waffles are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and studded with juicy blueberries. They’re gluten-free waffles that will surprise you!
Two of my very favorite things are coming at you today — waffles and blueberries! Waffles are my special breakfast food of choice, and adding blueberries to the equation only makes things better.
These One Bowl Oat Flour Blueberry Waffles served with a drizzle of maple syrup, fresh blueberries and coffee is my idea of the perfect breakfast or brunch.
All Mondays should start off like this!
I’m going to give you a brief summary about why I’ve stopped using wheat flour in my waffles for the past several months. I mentioned in this post that I’ve had some digestive issues, which I’m working with my doctor to resolve.
These issues have led me to follow a low FODMAP diet for the time being, which includes dramatically reducing the amount of wheat that I eat (among so many other things).
Reducing my wheat intake has been relatively easy, and experimenting with various types of wheat-free flours has even been fun for me.
I’ve always enjoyed incorporating different types of flours into my baking, but I’ve never tried eliminating wheat from the equation completely until I had to several months back.
Surprisingly, I’ve hardly missed eating wheat at all.
You might think gluten-free waffles don’t sound appealing at all, but I promise that you’ll love these oat flour waffles.
The inspiration for these gluten-free oat flour waffles came from the cookbook Love Real Food by Catherine Taylor (from the blog Cookie and Kate). I adapted the recipe from the cookbook over time, which is the recipe that I’m sharing with you today.
These One Bowl Blueberry Oat Flour Waffles are extremely hearty with a delicious oat-y flavor. They’re golden brown and crispy on the outside, yet fluffy on the inside.
And those juicy blueberries! The blueberries take them over the top.
I hate doing dishes, so I made this a one bowl recipe. The waffle batter comes together in minutes, and you’ll get (8) Belgian sized waffles ready to eat in about 20 minutes total.
Recipe Tips and Substitutions
- This recipe makes (8) Belgian-sized waffles. These waffles are so hearty and satisfying that one is plenty for me. To make more, smaller sized waffles, simply fill the waffle cavities half way full instead.
- Serve the waffles with more fresh blueberries and maple syrup, and they’re delicious topped with almond butter as well!
- Waffles may be made in advance and frozen for the perfect make ahead breakfast.
- The coconut oil may be substituted with canola oil or melted butter. If blueberries aren’t your thing, substitute with your favorite chopped fruit or chocolate chips.
