American style waffles just got a fabulous makeover with our Vegan & Gluten Free Avocado Waffles recipe. And we are very excited to share it with you today!
How did we make vegan and gluten free waffles? We left out the butter and flour and used avocados and oats instead. The result is colorful waffles that are as rich, fluffy and delicious as the originals.
Simply puree all ingredients in a blender, pour the oatmeal batter into your waffle maker, and allow the waffles to cook until golden and spongy. Simply!
In under 20 minutes, from blender to plate, you’ll have delicious avocado waffles, perfect for a sweet breakfast or Sunday brunch.
We love this recipe because it’s a healthier and allergen-free alternative to traditional American waffles since it’s flour-free, egg-free, and dairy-free.
Avocado puree is a great substitute for butter in vegan waffles as they make the batter rich and creamy without adding too many fats.
Oatmeal can replace flour in gluten-free pancake and waffle recipes, adding fiber and a touch of sweetness to the batter.
So make a big batch of these avocado waffles for the whole family and enjoy with your favorite toppings!
frequently asked Questions
How do you make waffles with avocado?
To make avocado waffles, peel and stone the avocados, puree until smooth and add to the waffle batter mixture in place of the eggs and butter.
Make sure the avocados are very ripe as they will get creamier and tastier.
How do you make waffles without eggs and butter?
You can make eggless and butterless waffles with mashed ripe avocados instead.
You can substitute avocado for butter in a 1:1 ratio and substitute 2 tablespoons of avocado puree for each egg.
Avocados contain healthy fats, have a creamy and velvety texture, and help bind the ingredients together.
So they’re perfect for replacing butter and eggs in waffles and pancakes while keeping them rich and moist.
How do you cook avocado waffles?
Cook these avocado waffles just like classic waffles with a waffle maker.
Pour the oatmeal avocado batter into the hot waffle maker griddle, fill all the groves and bake the waffles until spongy and golden.
If you don’t have a waffle iron, you can use a sandwich maker or even a griddle, but the waffles will look different.
Are these waffles gluten free?
Yes, our vegan avocado waffles are also gluten-free because we used oat flour instead of classic wheat flour.
We show how to make oatmeal from plain oatmeal using a blender.
Since oat flour does not bind the waffle batter as well as wheat flour, we mixed it with some starch.
Starch is essential in gluten-free recipes like these avocado waffles because it binds the ingredients, thickens the oatmeal batter, and adds texture to the waffles.
What goes with these waffles?
You can serve these avocado waffles with a drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkling of diced avocados and berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries.
