Ingredients

Scale

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.
