Ingredients List

For the Basic Thermomix Oat Flour Waffles:

• 2 cups oats (to be milled into flour)
• 1½ cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1½ teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• Optional: 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Substitution Options:

• Make it dairy-free: Use almond milk and coconut oil
• Make it egg-free: Replace eggs with 2 tablespoons flaxseed mixed with 6 tablespoons water
• Sweetener alternatives: Agave nectar, date syrup, or coconut sugar

The aroma of freshly milled oat flour combined with warm vanilla and cinnamon creates an irresistible fragrance that will have everyone gravitating toward your kitchen.

Timing

• Preparation Time: 5 minutes (including milling the oats into flour in your Thermomix)
• Cooking Time: 15 minutes (approximately 3-4 minutes per waffle)
• Total Time: 20 minutes – that’s 35% faster than traditional wheat flour waffle recipes, which typically require extra resting time for the batter.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Mill the Oat Flour

Add 2 cups of oats to your Thermomix bowl. Mill for 10 seconds at speed 10 until you achieve a fine flour consistency. For extra-fluffy waffles, sift the flour to remove any larger pieces, though this isn’t strictly necessary if you prefer more texture.

Step 2: Prepare the Batter

Add all remaining ingredients to the Thermomix bowl with the oat flour. Mix for 30 seconds at speed 4 until smooth. The batter should be slightly thicker than traditional waffle batter but still pourable. If it seems too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk until you reach the desired consistency.

Step 3: Preheat Your Waffle Iron

Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat. The perfect temperature setting varies by machine, but most work best between 350-375°F (175-190°C). A properly preheated iron is crucial for that perfect crispy exterior while maintaining a tender interior.

Step 4: Cook the Waffles

Lightly grease your waffle iron with cooking spray or brush with melted butter. Pour approximately ½ cup of batter into the center of your waffle iron (amount may vary depending on your waffle maker size). Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.

Step 5: Create Variations

Now’s the time to get creative! For each of these variations, simply add the ingredients to your basic batter:

1. Berry Blast Waffles: Add ½ cup fresh or frozen berries
2. Chocolate Chip Waffles: Fold in ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
3. Banana Bread Waffles: Add 1 mashed ripe banana and ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
4. Savory Herb Waffles: Omit sweetener and add 1 tablespoon fresh herbs and ¼ cup grated parmesan
5. Pumpkin Spice Waffles: Add ⅓ cup pumpkin puree and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Serving Suggestions

Transform your Thermomix Oat Flour Waffles into a complete meal with these serving ideas:

• Classic Breakfast: Top with fresh berries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a drizzle of pure maple syrup
• Protein-Packed Option: Add a smear of almond butter, sliced banana, and a sprinkle of hemp seeds
• Dessert Variation: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and warm berry compote
• Brunch Special: Create a waffle sandwich with avocado, smoked salmon, and a poached egg
• Kids’ Favorite: Set up a waffle bar with various toppings and let everyone customize their own

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Overmixing the Batter: Mix just until combined; overmixing develops gluten and makes tough waffles
2. Opening the Waffle Iron Too Soon: Resist the urge to peek! Opening too early can tear the waffle
3. Using Cold Ingredients: Room temperature eggs and milk blend more smoothly and cook more evenly
4. Insufficient Greasing: Even non-stick waffle irons need a light coating to prevent sticking
5. Wrong Temperature Setting: Too hot burns the outside while leaving the inside raw; too cool results in soggy waffles

Storing Tips for the Recipe

• Refrigeration: Store cooled waffles in an airtight container for up to 3 days
• Freezing: Place waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer to a freezer bag with parchment paper between each waffle. They’ll keep for up to 3 months
• Reheating: Pop frozen waffles directly in the toaster or toaster oven for the crispiest results
• Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare and store the dry ingredients mixture for up to 1 month, then just add wet ingredients when ready to cook

FAQs

Can I make these waffles without a Thermomix?
Yes! Use store-bought oat flour or process regular oats in any food processor or blender until finely ground. Then mix the batter by hand or with a standard mixer.

Are these waffles gluten-free?
They can be! Just ensure you’re using certified gluten-free oats, as some oats may have cross-contamination during processing.

Can I make the batter the night before?
Absolutely. Store the batter in the refrigerator overnight. You may need to add 1-2 tablespoons of milk in the morning if it’s thickened too much.

How can I make my waffles crispier?
For extra crispy waffles, try adding 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the batter and cook for an additional 30 seconds in your waffle iron.

Can these waffles be made vegan?
Yes! Use plant-based milk, replace eggs with flax eggs, and use coconut oil instead of butter for a completely vegan version that’s just as delicious.
