These easy oat flour pumpkin waffles are a special fall treat!
So my sister is trying to figure out if she needs to go gluten-free or not. She is also lactose intolerant, and I love the challenge of trying to come up with recipes to fit her diet, even though she might not like it. =) I wanted to make something with ingredients that most people would have in their pantries. As a side note, if you are truly gluten-free, you’ll need to make sure your oats are certified gluten-free. My kids, my husband, and I LOVE these waffles, though, and she even said they were good!
Oat flour is easy to make. Just put your oat in a blender or food processor and whirl away!
When I haven’t had pumpkin purée on hand, I have used 1/8 cup of pumpkin butter and 3/8 cup of water which brings an even deeper pumpkin flavor. You can also use banana in place of pumpkin if none is available.

Hi Cherrie! Thanks for adding it, and thank you for visiting!
Oh, love this! I’ve made oat flour muffins before but haven’t thought about trying waffles.
Hi Deanna. Isn’t oat flour so easy to work with? Hope you enjoy, and thank you for visiting!
LOVE this too! I love all your entries! Got it tweeted and pinned!
Sounds yummy! If your sis does go gluten free, she would want to buy gluten free oats to make this flour as most of the oats grown and processed in the US have been cross contaminated by wheat. Usually Scottish and Steel Cut are the safest for gluten free or Bob’s Red Mill has gluten free old fashion oats.
Thanks for the tips. I have heard that about the cross contamination. I wonder if steel cut oats can be grounded up into a flour?? May be I will try.
