My hubby has never cared for waffles or pancakes, they seem to heavy to him. But he loves these, especially with real Maple Syrup and butter!
Oatmeal Waffles
2C rolled oats
2C water (or 1C water, 1C Orange juice)
1 med banana
2T Walnuts
1T sugar (I use honey instead)
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
Put all in blender, blend til smooth. Let stand a few minutes to thicken, add water if too thick. Use a hot waffle iron, spray with oil each time you add batter. Cook about 10 minutes.

Ohhh these sound really good. we dont have a waffle iron. The replacement when the 30some yr old one of mom's died only lived a year or 2 and then we decided we hardly every make waffles so why bother. But I may have to thin the batter a bit and try these as pancakes they sound so yummy. I'd buy an iron if it were just the cost of it but finding space to store it would be too painful for me.

I got a practically unused one (probably like your mom's 30 year-old model) at the thrift store for $1.50 awhile back. It makes the big rectangles with the small dents kind of waffles, or you can turn the heating plates over and make toasted sandwiches with it. I love it, it's kind of retro but practical LOL. I usually make a double batch and freeze the leftovers - they are good in the toaster.
Let me know how the pancakes turn out, I bet they'd be good!

Ohhh, that's the kind of waffle iron I have. It wasn't retro when I bought it.  |

LOL, I'm sure mine wasn't retro when it was manufactured!!! Mine probably spent a long time in somebody's attic before it wound up in the thrift store.

How many servings does this make? I wanted to give it a try and would like to calculate nutrition info.
Also, do you use the quick cooking or regular long cooking rolled oats?

Sheryl, it shouldn't make a whole lot of difference. The difference between old fashioned rolled oats and quick rolled oats is the size of the oat particle. In order to make more surface area available and make them cook quickly, quick oats are cracked into pieces before they're rolled. Old fashioned oats are not. Since the whole recipe is loaded into the blender and the oats are broken up anyway (therefore becoming more like an oat flour, but coarser) then you're chopping 'em up anyhow.
These sound good! I think I'd make 'em and then do the nutrition info. Like, make eight cakes and then say eight servings.

At 4 servings they are 4 pts each. Probably okay since they sound pretty filling. I will give them a try next weekend!

Okay, I have a Belgian waffle maker which probably isn't the best way to make these as they seemed to take forever to cook. I liked them though and found them very satisfying. The guys didn't care for them much though - my son said that he couldn't taste the syrup which is the best part of waffles. I thought that was kinda funny.

Hey! I found this recipe searching google for waffle recipes made with no flour because of mine and my husbands food allergies. This recipe sounded great, but I have just spent the morning frustrated! I followed your recipe exactly, cooked the oats last night and then this morning blended everything together, the batter was a bit runny even after letting it sit but I thought I’d try it anyway, they spread out over the waffle iron and didn’t stick together or fluff up. It just kind of burnt in between the grids and I couldn't get it out of the iron. I had to let it cool and then scrub all the cooked pieces out with a sponge. We micro-waved more of the mixture to try and evaporate some of the water and then blended it even more in the blender. It thickened quite a bit more this time but did the same thing once put on the waffle iron. It didn’t stick together!! What am I doing wrong? I really wanted waffles this morning  |

I don't think you are supposed to cook the oats first. Just put the raw rolled oats in the blender with everything else.

Yep. Don't cook the oatmeal. I have a recipe for oatmeal pancakes that is pretty good. I use sugar free syrup on them and it tastes just as good to me. Recipe:
1/2 c. old fashioned oats (uncooked)
1/4 c. cottage cheese (no fat kind)
3 egg whites (I buy the cartons of egg whites at the grocery)
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp cinnamon ( I use more )
1/4 tsp nutmeg ( I use more )
Put all of the above in the blend until fairly smooth, but not TOO smooth. I found out through trial and error that the best way to fry them so they don't have the texture of a bowl of oatmeal is to use a frying pan and just put a little bit in the hot pan (I use Pam) and then swivel/ rotate the pan so that the batter thins out. Fry on one side then flip. After the second side firms up I pick up the cake and add more Pam to the pan and put that side down again. It makes it kind of crispy so there is texture. Just whatever you prefer. That recipe is supposed to serve 1 but we split it between us and have some sausage.
