I’m pretty particular about my waffles. I want light, whole grain, crisp-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside, Belgian-with-deep-pockets, quintessential WAFFLES. No soggy waffles allowed! Bonus points if they freeze well so I can pop them in the toaster like Eggo’s.
These waffles meet all of the aforementioned qualifications. After tweaking five batches of these waffles, I can confirm that oat flour waffles are the waffles I’ve been searching for all along. Oat waffles are the waffles of my dreams.
Best of all, these waffles are gluten free! That means that I can share them with all of my friends.
This gluten-free waffle recipe is so simple that I have it memorized. It only requires one flour—oat flour—which is the easiest flour to make at home. Just toss some old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats in your blender or food processor and blend until they are a fine flour.
Watch How to Make Gluten Free Waffles
The secret to these waffles’ success is letting the batter rest for 10 minutes while your waffle iron heats up. The resting time gives the oat flour time to soak up some of the moisture, so you get crisp, fluffy waffles when it’s go time. I learned this trick with my banana oat pancakes, a recipe that has quite a few fans.
I love these waffles so much that I included this recipe in my cookbook. I’m re-sharing the recipe today with better photos in case this recipe has slipped by you over the years.
If you, like me, have been disappointed by other gluten-free waffle recipes in the past (or waffle recipes in general, really), give these a try! They’re just right. Please let me know how they turn out in the comments.

Easy Gluten Free Oat Waffles
- Author:
- Prep Time: 15 mins
- Cook Time: 10 mins
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 6 Belgian-style waffles 1x
- Category: Breakfast
- Method: By hand
- Cuisine: Gluten free
These light, crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside, gluten-free waffles are my favorite waffles! They’re heart healthy, too. This waffle recipe requires just one flour, oat flour, which you can easily make yourself (see note). Recipe yields 3 to 4 round, 7-inch Belgian waffles, or 6 small, square Belgian waffles (the size shown here).
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (128 grams) oat flour*, certified gluten-free if necessary
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Pinch of cinnamon, optional
- ¾ cup room temperature milk of choice (light coconut milk, nut milk, cow’s milk)
- ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: oat flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, melted coconut oil or butter, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla extract. (If your coconut oil solidifies on contact with cold ingredients, gently heat the wet mixture in the microwave in ten seconds intervals, until it melts again.)
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a big spoon until just combined (the batter will still be a little lumpy). Let the batter rest for 10 minutes so the oat flour has time to soak up some of the moisture. Plug in your waffle iron to preheat now (if your waffle iron has a temperature/browning dial, set it to medium-high).
- Once 10 minutes is up, give the batter one more swirl with your spoon. Pour batter onto the heated waffle iron, enough to cover the center and most of the central surface area, and close the lid. Once the waffle is deeply golden and crisp, transfer it to a cooling rack or baking sheet. Don’t stack your waffles on top of each other, or they’ll lose crispness. If desired, keep your waffles warm by placing them in a 200 degree oven until you’re ready to serve.
- Repeat with remaining batter. Serve waffles with maple syrup and nut butter, or any other toppings that sound good!
Notes
Recipe based on my oat pancakes and coconut waffles recipes.
*Make your own oat flour: Simply blend old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats (be sure to buy certified gluten-free oats if necessary) in a food processor or blender until they are ground into a fine flour. You’ll need to blend roughly 1 ½ cups oats to make enough flour for these waffles (you will probably end up with a little extra). Once you’ve blended the flour, measure it using the spoon and swoop method to make sure you have the right amount.
Make it egg free: You can actually just omit the eggs. The waffles will be slightly more delicate, but they’ve turned out great for me.
Make it dairy free: Use non-dairy milk and coconut oil.
Make it vegan: Use non-dairy milk, coconut oil and omit the eggs.
Freeze it: These waffles freeze beautifully. Just store in freezer-safe plastic bags and pop individual waffles into the toaster until warmed through.
The best waffle iron ever: I had no idea how much of an improvement my new fancy-pants waffle maker would be over my hand-me-down waffle iron. This thing cooks crispy waffles that never stick to the surface area. The best part is that it has a large cooking surface, which means you can cook an entire batch of waffles with just two presses.
Vegetable enthusiast. Dog lover. I'm probably making a big mess in my Kansas City kitchen right now.

These are amazing! My whole family loves them. I used butter and savored every bite! Thanks!!!!!

Fran
Easy recipe, made great crispy gluten free waffles!
Would it still work to let the batter eat more than 10 minutes, perhaps even overnight?
★★★★★
Kate
Hi Fran! I’m not sure letting it set for too long will get you the desired results and be mindful for refrigeration.
Deborah Benjamin
Hello! I wanted to let you know that I made these waffles this morning and they were delish! I substituted oatmilk for the regular milk, and coconut sugar for the maple syrup (I topped with maple syrup, so I figured win-win) Anyways, they came out AMAZING, and I will definitely be making these again before too long!

I have been looking for a gluten free waffle recipe and came across this one. It needed to be kid approved and so I followed every step and I am thrilled to say I was not disappointed! These are delicious AND my kids LOVED them!
★★★★★
Geoff
1.5 cups of my oat flour weighs 180 grams, not 128. Should I go by volume or weight here?
Kate
Hi Geoff! It sounds like you aren’t leveling it off. I would go with the weight to ensure a good result.
Tess
These were so good!

Absolute perfection!!! Put the oats and then the rest of the mix in my food processor. Only difficult part is waiting 10min to cook them… Didn’t manage to get a picture yet. But considering contacting Cuisinart to get this recipe in their waffle maker booklet (no GF recipes currently). Thanks a million.

Isela
May I substitute honey for maple syrup?
Kate
Hi! I find that syrup works best here to combine.
Carolyn
These waffles are wonderful. I’ve made them several times and each time they were great. I decided to double the recipe using your calculator and the batter came out too wet thus changing the texture. If it is too wet, should I add more flour? Thank you.
Kate
Hi Carolyn! I’m sorry to hear that. So you doubled everything in the recipe? How long did you let the batter rest? It should have came out the same. I make these in a double batch without issue.
Carolyn
I let it sit for 10 minutes plus the time it took for my iron to heat. Total, between 12 and 15 minutes.
Carolyn
20 minutes and the double batch was awesome. Thank you.

Kate
You’re welcome, Carolyn! Thank you for your review.

Sheila Lankford
Delicious! When I made the first waffle it stuck horribly and fell apart when I tried to pry it free and I thought “oh no it’s not going to work for me”! But I increased the heat on the iron and oiled it aggressively and the the remaining waffles came out great! (Side note i really tried to get my flour from rolled oats fine but they still ended up coarse but it didn’t seem to affect the final product) I will definitely make these again!
Kate
I’m happy to hear they ended up great for you! Yes, the temperature of the waffle iron matters.

Made it for the second time with coconut milk this time and they’re even better. They taste really good.

Hi Kate,
Love your recipes. Your banana bread, pancakes and waffles are my go-to recipes yielding successful results every single time.
A request. Could you make cookies and banana bread with millet? I’ve substituted wheat with a combination of millet flour (finger, pearl and sorghum with oats in equal parts) in your pancake recipe and the kids never knew the difference. Planning to do the same with waffles. Will let you know how it turned out.
Thanks. Keep up the fantastic work and good luck!
Kate
Hi! I can’t make promises but I will take note of your request.
Suja Menon
Love this recipe. Tried it today with a variation. Used a combination of oat flour, finger millet, pearl millet and sorghum flour. It came out perfect. Tasted great too!
Yuliya
Great recipe. Due to inability to eat much fat, I modified by adding only 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Works just as well! Thank you for this healthy and tasty alternative to waffles :)

I’m happy you enjoyed it, Ray! Thank you for your review.
Adrienne Cobb
Luv your recipe! I have always made waffles using oats. My problem seems to be the waffle. I also turned in my old maker for a new one, but this one has a dial ranging from 1-5. Oat waffles take longer to cook, but the higher dial numbers only make them crispier, doesn’t increase cooking time and the inside is not cooked all the way. Any suggestions?
Kate
Hi Adrienne! I’m sorry you are having issues. Maybe try on a lower setting for longer if they are getting too crispy on the outside and not cooking on the inside. Let me know!
TashaBelle
Made these for the first time this evening… they turned out exactly as you said – crispy and golden outside, fluffy on the inside. I tripled the recipe and they came out perfectly, making 10 decent sized waffles and a baby one to sample ;-) perfect to freeze and toast as needed. Many thanks!
★★★★★
Kate
Wonderful, Tasha! Thank you for taking the time to review.

Wow! I was skeptical that they would be good with just oat flour. They have a very nice texture and they are quite tasty. Thank you! Next time I will 3X and have leftovers to toast up for the week.

Gladys Higgins
I recently changed my diet and was looking for a gluten free waffle I could make. These were delicious! I used unsweetened almond milk and vegan butter melted and OOOOOOH MY GOODNESS!!!!! So delicious. It is very important to let the mixture rest for a few minutes. They were so fluffy and flavorful. I added the cinnamon as well and love it. My husband loved them too. This is now my go to recipe. I made extras and placed them in the freezer. That way I can just warm one up in the morning and top with strawberries. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I just subscribed to your blog and I look forward to finding new delicious recipes! God bless ❤️

Hooray! I’m excited you loved them, Gladys.

Hi! Can I sub almond flour for the oat flour?
Kate
Hi Jessica, I’m sorry to disappoint but I won’t give you the same result.
Anne Marie
I read the ingredient list but with four little helpers I didn’t even scan the steps before plowing in and they still worked fabulously.
I scooped and filled the measuring cup for the dry goods but the wet measurements were done with a visual “sure why not” as kids were going all in at this point, and I guess looking at the recipe now- I added my melted vegan butter after wet:dry were mixed and it still incorporated wonderfully. (Slow pour and whisk well)
I also used a mix of oat milk and milkadamia unsweetened for this with Mykonos? vegan butter in a All clad Belgian on setting 1. I let this batter sit for 20 minutes as we had kids being kids but it looked lovely after 10 minutes as well. The only thing I’d say is a little different than expected is that in our 4×1” machine it came to 9.5 waffles when we doubled the recipe.
★★★★★
Belia Ordonez
I used table salt, 1/2 tsp as per recipe but these turned out so salty! Unless I added more under distraction…is this right? No one else got too salty?

We haven’t had waffles since I went gluten-free to help eliminate inflammation. I’ve used several of your other recipes and was excited to find this one. My husband and I tried them this morning and they were great- 5 stars. We drizzled a little maple syrup on them and I warmed some blueberries to sprinkle on top. I had downloaded a few other recipes but after eating your Oat Waffles my husband said to throw out the other recipes. Your Oat Waffles will be a once a month Sunday morning treat.

OMGOODNESS!!!! This recipe is so good. My husband said these are the best waffles I have every made. Most waffles are so dense. My 2 year old ate one whole waffle and wanted more. I added more cinnamon because I like cinnamon and used butter. I also used homemade cashew milk. This will be a regular at my house. I will have to double the recipe because my little one might eat the whole batch at once. The only issue I had was that the waffle (I have a Belgian Waffle iron) broke apart on the seems. But that’s okay because no one in my household eats a whole Belgian waffle.

George Boling
Modified your oat waffle recipe. I made it gluten and dairy free. I did put 2 teaspoons of cinnamon but I also added 8 teaspoons flaxseed 8 teaspoons hemp hearts 8 teaspoons tapioca flour and increased almond milk to 1 cup. All dry ingredients blended to flour. This made an excellent batter that made very tasty waffles. I thank you for your recipe.
Kate
I’m glad it turned out for you, George.

I’ve recently acquired a waffle maker and to know I can have gluten-free oat flour waffles is a treasure. I doubled up on the recipe using oats (not the flour) chucked it in the blender and blitz it all with the other ingredients. It’s so fantastic the results that I had to express my heartfelt thanks. On a side note, I did however used the counter top toaster oven to finish it off for an even crispier texter. Love.

Having celiac disease it’s always a challenge finding a good waffle recipe, so we usually stick with a boxed mix. I woke up craving waffles but realized we were out of mix. I decided to give this a try as it was all pantry ingredients I had on hand. We were a little nervous as the batter oozed and bubbled but oh man were they good. They reminded me of the waffles my mom made when I was a kid. Good chewy texture, pops of cinnamon and so yummy. They were a breeze to whip up. We’ll be keeping this one on hand the next time a craving sets in.

Our family has been gluten free for years but never really enjoyed waffle options (either too gummy or starchy). Who knew oat flour was the secret.

These were fantastic. So easy to make the flour. I agree the 10 minute wait is the hard part. I don’t eat coconut so I used butter. Can you use avocado or another oil to reduce the saturated fat?
★★★★★

Hi Mary, Sorry to disappoint but I find the best results with what is recommended.
Dwight Arthur
I am so happy to find another way to put oats on the table at breakfast! I followed your recipe directions closely, using coconut milk and coconut oil, and making my own oat flour. My 1-1/2 cups of rolled oats produced EXACTLY the required amount of flour, to the gram! My only issue was that that after the rest time the batter was a bit too thick for pouring into my Cuisinart Vertical Waffle maker, so I thinned the batter to get it to the right consistency, using maybe a 1/4 cup of cow’s milk. The resulting waffles were perfect–golden brown, crispy, and with a wonderful coconut flavour. Thanks for the great recipe. As an aside, I search for recipes on the web a lot and I am amazed at how often the recipe I settle on is yours, without knowing that it is yours until I actually get to the website. You have not disappointed my yet :-) Keep up the great work!
★★★★★
Kate
Hi Dwight, I’m sorry your batter was too thick. Did you scoop and level it? I’m happy you were able to still enjoy this recipe.
Dwight
I did the flour by weight so I am sure I got the measurements right. We live in a very low humidity location and I usually have to add some liquid to batter as a consequence. Also the vertical waffle maker requires a more fluid batter than traditional irons. The results were fantastic with the adjustment and we have already made these waffles a second time. This a new favorite breakfast in our household. Thanks so much!
★★★★★
Kate
I’m happy you were able to make the adjustments to get it just right. Thank you for your review, Dwight!

Tried this recipe for breakfast today
It’s absolutely delicious
I had it without any toppings so I guess would up the sweetness a bit in the batter
But otherwise it’s great

OH. MY. GOODNESS. These are my ABSOLUTE new favorite waffle and I’ll never make them with anything but oat flour ever again!! They didn’t crisp up as much as I expected, but that may speak more about my waffle maker than your recipe. Whatever, the flavor more than makes up for it.
PS, you’ve inspired me to start my own food blog, so thank you for being such an inspiration! <3

Hello there. How much is one serving size? Are the Nutrition Facts listed for 1 Waffle? Its says serves 6, does that mean that this generates 6 waffles?
I made a batch today and it was so delicious. Just not sure how much is a serving size.
Thank you.
Kate
Hi Susan, Yes a serving is one waffle and makes 6 Belgian-style waffles.
Jen Zwicker
I have made these waffles a bunch of times with eggs but I wanted to try making them vegan. I had tried flax ‘eggs’ a couple of times but they didn’t stay together nicely on the waffle maker. This morning I tried ground chia ‘eggs’ and it worked perfectly! Very excited about this little win. I also swapped the coconut oil (or butter) for avocado oil and it worked as well. Thank you for this recipe.

Steve
Did not work out for me. I used steel cut oats. Tried making my own flour but wow, how long does it take to get a smooth flour using a high power blender and a small food processor? Lots of little oat husk bits. Only substituting i did was Aunt J syrup because i don’t have real maple syrup. Neither light nor fluffy. Back to chef school for me lol. May try again with better ground flour. Will follow up. Thank you for the recipe!
.
Kate
Hi Steve, It sounds like the steel cut oats were the issue and didn’t grind up into a fine powder. Try old fashioned oats or quick cooking next time.
Veronica Lysaght
I loved these waffles before I went vegan + no-oil … and now adapted them this morning for breakfast and they were still just as good! I used aquafaba from a can of chickpeas instead of eggs and 1 cup of oat milk, rather than milk and oil. I let them rest for about 20 mins and then cooked as normal in a non-stick waffle maker.
They were delicious.
Thank you again
Tiff
Have you ever tried pancakes with this recipe?
