How to Make Banana Oatmeal Waffles
Let’s discuss how to make banana oatmeal waffles.
Begin by blending the ingredients in a high-powered blender (Vitamix).
Then, cook the waffles in your waffle maker, set to medium high until they are golden brownn.
Serve
Serve these peanut butter oatmeal waffles warm with your favorite toppings. Here are some suggestions:
- With a glug of pure maple syrup and pat of butter or cinnamon honey butter.
- Topped with a dollop of homemade whipped cream.
- With a side of fresh berries or other fruit
- Drizzled with Nutella, peanut butter, etc.
When I shot these, I made cute scenes on the waffles for my kids. Full disclosure, that was when I had three kids (now I have 6) and I don’t do things like this anymore! But, I thought I’d share because they were pretty cute, and a fun idea if you have extra energy at breakfast time.
Store
Cool leftover waffles completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the toaster.
Freeze
I suggest freezing these banana oatmeal waffles to keep them fresh. Put cooled waffles in a single layer in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. You can stack them if you separate the layers with waxed or parchment paper.

I would make a nice fruit smoothie first…
I would love to try a smoothie bowl or nut butters!
I admit the first thing I would test out on this blender would be a smoothie ~ see how it works with chunks of frozen fruit. I am really fascinated with using one to make hot soups 😀
I would make home made waffles and sauce!
First thing I would make is either these waffles or a honking big green smoothie! Or both. Definitely both! 🤗
Gazpacho maybe…
Probably these waffles first! 😆 Then Cashew butterrrr!
I’d definitely make a smoothie or nut butter first! I love making my own peanut butters but I don’t think my current blender can handle it anymore 😩
Yum! I would love to try to make these waffles. Thanks for leaving substitution ideas for ingredients that I might nothave on hand.
A smoothie!!!! Yummy 😋
