Enjoy for daily breakfasts or special occasions.
Super allergy-friendly, these no-sweetener-added waffles can be used for traditional sweet needs (with sweet toppings), but can also be used without toppings (because the “bread dough” is so good) or for savory needs.

Ingredients in Easy Oat Flour Waffles
Not counting the water and salt, this recipe has just 5 ingredients:
- oat flour
- almond flour, blanched — If you can’t have almond flour, sub it with tiger nut flour, stone ground rice flour, or your own preferred nut/seed flour, somewhat coarsely milled (not too fine). See the Notes section for more details. Other flour subs may work fine here, too (such as millet flour).
- psyllium husk whole
- baking powder
- olive oil, or avocado oil
Links to each of the dry ingredients are included in the recipe card below, if you find that helpful.
Optional: If you prefer a sweeter waffle (before toppings) and more tender texture, add 2 Tablespoons granulated sweetener, such as coconut sugar. I only do this when I know I’ll be using the waffle leftovers to make sandwiches, such as waffle PB & Js on the go (as the little bit of sweetener keeps leftover waffles tender long after they’ve cooled). Otherwise, I prefer the original recipe with no sweetener.
How to make Oat Flour Waffles
- Place all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Add wet ingredients. Stir together well, or use a mixer to combine. Batter will be thick and thicken more as it sits.
- Preheat waffle iron, and follow manufacturer’s instructions to cook waffles, about 5 minutes each.
- Serve with preferred toppings.
Which waffle iron is best
We’ve eaten waffles for years, sometimes six days a week. Over the years, I’ve tried out many waffle irons. While I wish an affordable stainless steel waffle iron existed, it doesn’t.
With that in mind, the best waffle iron we’ve found is here. We always buy the 3 or 4 year Protection Plan, as they’ll replace the iron for free if anything goes wrong during that time. All of the waffle irons we’ve owned last only one year with daily use, except the model I link to.

Sherry says
Hi Megan, We loved this recipe. We’ve made it twice, once with the stone ground rice flour you recommend, and once with the wonderful blanched almond flour you link to. Both versions were great. One of the times, we used your Strawberry Sauce on top, and thought it was “stellar”. Thank you for this new go-to waffle breakfast.
Megan says
So great to hear, Sherry; thank you for sharing! 🙂 I also make that sauce often for my kids and husband for waffles, and it always gives that special touch to make breakfast extra yummy and appreciated. 🙂 Blessings!

I look forward to trying these, the “easy” has me ready to try them. I’ll probably be subbing Tiger nut flour. It seems this would be a fairly large batch, but since they freeze well, that’s a plus.
I like waffles as a convenient part of breakfast or any meal and have used several of your waffle recipes. Much better than “Leggo my Eggo”!
Megan says
Lol, yes, Dorothy, much better than those processed freezer aisle waffles, so true. I hope you enjoy the recipe when you’re ready to try it! 🙂
