This recipe has been a standby for me for over 23 years. I use these waffles for breakfast, snacks, and travel. They don’t have to be refrigerated, so they pack well. I always have these healthy, low-fat, high-fiber, gluten-free, plant-based waffles in my freezer.
Count 7.6 Weight Watcher points for each waffle. Half a waffle makes a nice-sized snack.
Gluten-Free Quinoa & Oat Waffles 3 large waffles
1/2 cup quinoa flakes
2 cups oats
1/4 cup oat bran
2 1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until mixed well. Let sit for about 5 minutes, then heat up the waffle iron. If you’re not using a non-stick waffle iron, I suggest using a non-stick spray.
Measure one cup of waffle batter and pour it onto the hot iron. Cook for 11 minutes.
Serve immediately or cool on a wire rack.
**As the mixture sits, it will continue to thicken; if desired, add a small amount of water and mix well. I do this several times as I make them, especially since I always make a double or triple batch.
These are delicious with different kinds of nut butter, warm pure maple syrup, and cut-up fresh fruit.
As mentioned above, I like to make a double batch of these and freeze them for a quick breakfast on work mornings. I pop one in the toaster, add some peanut butter, a little honey, and some sliced bananas, and eat it while getting ready for work or take it along with me to eat later. I also pack them in my lunch with peanut butter and jam as a gluten-free sandwich.
