We have had a waffle iron for over a year, but to date, I haven’t used it a lot. Mainly because I didn’t have a great recipe. A healthy waffle recipe, a waffle recipe that my family will enjoy but will also fill them up and keep them energised for a while!
My kids love pancakes and waffles, I find though that if we make traditional pancake or waffle recipes based on plain wheat flour, that although delicious my kids almost want a second breakfast an hour later. That totally DOES MY HEAD IN!
As far as pancakes go, I’m across that now, I have lots of filling pancake recipes on my site that keep my kids fueled for at least a few hours. But until now and these Banana Oat Blueberry Waffles I didn’t have a successful waffle recipe that I would also deem to be a ‘Healthy Waffle Recipe’.

What makes a Healthy Waffle Recipe?
Everyone is going to have a different measure for what they consider ‘healthy’. For me and my family when it comes to something like waffles or a breakfast I’m looking for something with sustained energy, high fibre and low added/refined sugar. This healthy waffle recipe made with banana, oats and blueberries ticks all these boxes. Different people will have different boxes though, so my ‘healthy’ could be different to your ‘healthy’.

- Prepare your waffle iron as per it's instructions. I find a medium heat best for this recipe
