Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups gluten-free oat flour 180 grams
  • 1 cup unsweetened fine coconut shreds 70 grams
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1 cup seedless dark raisins 125 grams
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup cashew milk (225 ml) flax or oat milk for a nut-free version
  • ⅔ cup unsweetened jam (190 grams) Use apricot, Fig or berry jam

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your waffle maker and choose setting number 6 or 7 (high).
  2. Place the flour, coconut shreds, coconut sugar, and raisins in a large bowl. Stir until well combined and ensure no raisins clump together.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Then stir in the milk and jam until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Combine the wet egg mixture with the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined, and you get a smooth batter with the raisins well divided.
  5. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken a little.
  6. When ready, coat the waffle plates with olive oil or coconut oil. Then drop ¼ cup of batter onto each waffle plate.
  7. Cook until the automatic light turns green, about 3 to 4 minutes. They should be golden brown. Use a fork to lift the waffles carefully out of the waffle iron. Place them on a plate or cooling rack to cool slightly while you make the rest of the waffles.
  8. Serve as-is or top with your favorite fruits, syrups, or nut butter.

Notes

  • Substitutions & Variations:

  • Serving Suggestion:
  • These easy oat flour waffles are already deliciously sweet and taste great on their own. However, here are a few suggestions to pair them with:
  •  
  •  
  • Helpful Tips:
  • When you use the highest setting on your waffle maker, it should make your waffles beautifully gold and crisp!
  • Storage Instructions:
  • Swap out the egg for a flax egg for a vegan version. This oat waffle recipe already contains no dairy or honey and can quickly become vegan-friendly by dropping the egg. But to ensure that you get a similar waffle texture and thickness, I suggest using the gluten-free, vegan egg replacer from Bob's Red Mill instead of a chia egg.
  • I love apricot jam for this recipe, but sugar-free jam with berries or figs can work as well.
  • If you don't have coconut sugar, use brown sugar instead. Monk fruit can work as well.
  • Instead of cashew milk, oat milk, flax milk, almond milk, or even coconut milk are great alternatives. 
  • Fresh fruit is always a great waffle topping. My favorite is any fresh berries.
  • Add a drizzle of pure maple syrup, or top them off with my Rhubarb Compote or Instant Pot Apple Butter.
  • Add a touch of butter or melted coconut oil or a dollop of chocolate peanut butter—delicious.
  • Make them part of a waffle board for brunch.
  • If you plan to enjoy these waffles either the same day or the next, then wrap them in parchment paper and let them sit on the counter in an airtight container.
  • Otherwise, store the cooked waffles in the fridge if you want to enjoy them for the next 2 to 3 days. 
  • For more extended storage, freeze them—I never do. These are such simple and no-fuss healthy waffle recipes that I prefer to make a new fresh batch for the week. If you opt to freeze waffles, I suggest first wrapping them individually with parchment or wax paper and then placing them in a freezer bag.
  • Reheat in a toaster oven to keep them crispy.
