Gluten-free Blender Gingerbread Waffles

Gluten-free Blender Gingerbread Waffles, well that’s a mouth-full! And they are dairy-free, too!

Gingerbread waffles aren’t just for Christmas or the holidays. I first started making these waffles  in the merry, merry month of May a few years back. One of my daughters along with myself needed a little iron boost. The naturopath gave us a list of iron-rich foods. Lo and behold molasses made the list of iron boosters.

I was trying to think of different foods to augment our iron intake.  Since we usually have a weekly fix of waffles, it made perfect sense to have a little gingerbread flavor infusion.

I love to use oats that have been blended into a flour to make waffles. The oats make the waffles more hardy AND make them easily gluten-free if needed without any weird flour-blends or ingredients for those of us who only occasionally need to bake gluten-free.

We started with my favorite blender oat flour pumpkin waffle recipe and kept working it until we got just the right harmony of molasses and cinnamon and ginger. I doubled the original recipe since I want leftovers. It’s made dairy-free with your choice of dairy-less milk. I’ve made this vegan with “chia eggs” many many times. I usually decide what kind of eggs to use based on the quantity we have left in the fridge since my egg-loving husband starts off most days by protein-loading.

I’ve blended up this recipe in both the Vitamix and Blendtec. If you don’t have a high powdered blender, just blend up the oats in a standard blender or food processor, and then pour the oats into a large mixing bowl or standing mixer (I love my Kitchen Aid), and stir the batter until just combined.
