  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 large waffles or 4 small waffles

Ingredients

Vegetables and Fruit

  • ½ cup (55 g) grated zucchini
  • ½ cup (74 g) blueberries
  • 1 medium ripe banana, about ½ cup mashed

Dry Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup (54.55 g) uncooked rolled oats
  • ½ cup (60 g) whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ tablespoon avocado oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Zucchini: Place grated zucchini in the center of a paper towel or clean tea towel. Wrap and press down firmly to remove excess water. Set aside.
  2. Make Oat Flour: In a blender, combine all dry ingredients: rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Blend until the oats have ground to a fine flour-like consistency.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: To the blender with dry ingredients, add the mashed banana, eggs, and avocado oil. Blend gently until you get a smooth batter. Avoid over mixing to keep waffles light.
  4. Mix in Blueberries and Zucchini: Transfer batter to a bowl if needed and gently fold in the drained grated zucchini and blueberries, ensuring even distribution without breaking the fruit.
  5. Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions until hot.
  6. Cook Waffles: Pour approximately ½ cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron. Cook for 4-6 minutes or until waffles are golden brown and crisp, depending on your iron.
  7. Keep Warm: Remove waffles carefully and place on a baking sheet in a 200°F (93°C) oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
  8. Serve or Store: Enjoy waffles warm or allow them to cool and store in the fridge or freezer for make-ahead convenience.

Notes

  • If you do not have a high-speed blender, blend dry and wet ingredients separately to avoid overmixing, then combine gently by hand.
  • These waffles are freezer-friendly; double or triple the recipe and store leftovers in airtight containers.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your waffle iron to ensure crispness without burning.
  • For a dairy-free option, avocado oil is used instead of butter.
  • Try serving with fresh fruit, nut butter, or yogurt for additional flavor.
