Oatmeal Banana and Brown Sugar Waffles
I have wanted to try using oats in my waffles for a long time. Now I wish I had tried sooner – these turned out fantastic! The oats are slightly chewy, which is perfect with the bananas and brown sugar. These are best served with warm maple syrup – it really compliments all the flavors. I also like mine with a side of crispy, salty bacon – but you can serve them however you like!
Oatmeal Banana and Brown Sugar Waffles
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 ripe bananas, mashed
In a mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and spices. In a separate mixing bowl, combine sour cream, milk, vanilla, eggs, butter and bananas. Whisk together. Add in the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to soften the oats and thicken. Cook in a waffle maker (I used my Belgian waffle maker and it takes about 1/3 cup of batter to make each waffle) until browned and waffles begin to crisp (mine only takes 3 minutes – yours may take more or less time). Serve hot with warm maple syrup. Enjoy!
This recipe makes between 6 – 8 waffles, depending on the size of your waffle maker. The total cost is $1.91 – not the most frugal recipe – but more affordable than purchasing specialty waffles from the frozen food section or going out to eat!
What are your favorite breakfast foods? Do you prefer cold or hot breakfasts? Do you make different things during the week than you do on the weekends? I’d love to hear from you!
We love to have pancakes on the weekends, and we’re struggling to avoid cold cereal during the week. Cereal is so easy, but not the healthiest choice.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! You have a nice blog here…these waffles look amazing
Sure! And thank you too!
These sound amazing! I’ve been meaning to try using oats in a few different baking ventures also–this may have to be the first
I’ve never tried oats in waffles, but it sounds wonderful!! Thanks for posting!

Yum, these look great! I love using oats in pancakes and I’m sure waffles would be equally tasty
I haven’t tried pancakes yet – but since the waffles worked so well, I will be giving them a try!
I am pretty sure I need these.
Holy cannoli, you’ve outdone yourself. These look SO good.
Thanks! That’s really sweet! These turned out really good, I will be making them again for sure!
Yum! I’ve made oatmeal pancakes, but never oatmeal waffles. These look amazing!
Thanks! I haven’t tried the pancakese, but will be soon!
Bookmarked this one. Sounds delicious! Thank you.
Sure! They turned out great!
Oi yoi yoi… these sound like a heavenly morning sugar rush!
These look really, really good! I need to get myself a waffle maker so I can make these!
Man, these might be worth buying a waffle iron for. Maybe I’ll try them as pancakes first. Thanks for sharing!
Sure! I’d love to hear how they work as pancakes!
Omg-those look so good!
They are super yummy!
I make oatmeal pancakes all the time, but whenever I have tried using oats in waffle batter, everything sticks to the iron, even when I spray with olive oil. I will give your recipe a try and see if your ingredients react differently with my waffle iron than my recipes.
Please let me know how they turn out! Sometimes, if my batter sticks – I leave it in the waffle maker for a few minutes longer, once they are browned nicely – they shouldn’t stick.
