Tips & Variations

• For extra protein, add a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder to the batter.
• Substitute pumpkin puree for sweet potato for a seasonal variation.
• If you prefer a sweeter waffle, increase the maple syrup by an additional tablespoon.
• Use almond milk, oat milk, or any other nondairy milk based on your preference or what you have on hand.

Storage

Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, toast them in a toaster or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until crispy again. These waffles can also be frozen for up to 2 months; simply reheat from frozen using the same method.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

What can I use instead of ground flax?

You can substitute chia seeds ground into a meal or skip the flax altogether; however, it helps bind the batter and adds nutrition.

Scale 1x2x3x

Main Ingredients

• 1 cup One Degree Organics Sprouted Rolled Oats
• 1/2 cup pureed cooked sweet potato or yam
• 1 cup nondairy milk (such as almond, oat, or soy milk)
• 2 Tbsp ground golden flaxseed
• 5 Tbsp warm water
• 1 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
• 1 Tbsp maple syrup
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• Dash of cinnamon
• Pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

1. Preheat the Waffle Iron: Begin by heating your waffle iron to medium-high heat to ensure it is hot and ready when the batter is prepared.
2. Prepare Flax Egg: In a small bowl or jar, combine 2 tablespoons of ground golden flaxseed with 5 tablespoons of warm water. Stir and set aside for about 10 minutes to thicken, creating a flax egg that will help bind the batter.
3. Mix the Batter: Place the sprouted rolled oats, pureed cooked sweet potato, nondairy milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg into the jar of a blender. Add the thickened flax mixture. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, allowing the oats to soften and the flavors to meld.
4. Blend Ingredients: Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, ensuring no large oat chunks remain for a smooth waffle texture.
5. Grease the Waffle Iron: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with coconut oil or a non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
6. Cook the Waffles: Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading evenly but not overflowing. Cook until the waffles turn golden brown and crispy on the outside, which usually takes about 4-6 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
7. Serve: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with maple syrup and your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or dairy-free yogurt.

Notes

• Use cooked and pureed sweet potato or yam for best texture and flavor.
• If you don’t have sprouted rolled oats, regular rolled oats can be used but sprouted oats provide better digestibility.
• Allowing the batter to sit before blending helps improve the waffle texture.
• You can substitute maple syrup with honey if not vegan.
• Store leftover waffles in the refrigerator and reheat in a toaster or oven for best crispness.
• Ensure nondairy milk is unsweetened to control sweetness of the waffles.
