Ingredients

Allergen Alert: Contains Milk
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 / 2 cups rolled oats
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 / 2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 / 4 teaspoons salt
2 large bananas
1 large egg
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps

Step 1
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a brush of oil.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Whisk in the egg, milk, melted oil, and vanilla extract.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix, a few lumps are fine! Let the batter sit for 5 minutes; this allows the oats to soften and the leavening agents to activate.
Step 5
Pour about ½ cup of batter (or the amount recommended by your iron's manual) onto the hot iron. Cook until the waffle is golden brown and slightly crisp.
Step 6
Top with fresh banana slices, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Notes
If you aren't eating them immediately, place the finished waffles directly on a wire rack in a 200°F oven. Placing them on a plate causes steam to build up, making the bottom soggy. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can pulse the oats in a blender for a few seconds to create "oat flour" before adding them to the mix. These freeze beautifully! Just pop a frozen waffle into the toaster for a quick weekday breakfast.
This dish is special because...
These Whole Wheat Banana Oat Waffles are the gold standard for a "power breakfast." They manage to be incredibly hearty and filling without feeling like a lead weight in your stomach. They are naturally sweet, nutty, and have a satisfying crunch on the outside with a tender, moist interior. This recipe is a stealthy way to eat a high-fiber meal that tastes like a treat. Unlike traditional white-flour waffles that leave you hungry an hour later, the combination of complex carbohydrates from the whole wheat and oats, plus the potassium from the bananas, provides sustained energy. It’s a brilliant way to use up those overripe bananas that are too far gone for snacking but perfect for adding natural moisture and sweetness.
