Outrageous Oatmeal Waffles



It took me a very long time to come up with the perfect waffle recipe. This one is a staple in our house. It makes outrageous gluten and dairy-free pancakes and waffles. Let me know how you like it.

Oatmeal Waffles
3 cups rolled oats (not quick cook), presoaked overnight

1 cup raw pecans, presoaked overnight
5 dates

1 egg (optional)
1 tablespoon ghee or coconut oil
1/4 cup real maple syrup 
1/4 teaspoon unrefined sea salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
coconut oil for cooking pancakes
Optional: chocolate chips (Enjoy Life), wild blueberries or raisins.

  1. In a food processor, combine all ingredients (except chocolate chips or blueberries) and blend until smooth
  2. Add chocolate chips, blueberries or raisins
  3. Pour batter onto pre-heated waffle maker
  4. Bake until golden. Serve hot or take along cold for snacks
To presoak, measure out the oats and nuts, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, cover with water and let sit on the counter overnight. Rinse well before cooking.
