When talking with people about our upcoming move abroad, there’s one question that keeps coming up again and again — “So what on earth are you guys packing??”

Short answer? Ha, not much. ?

Truly. Most apartments in Barcelona come already furnished, so we’re good to go there. Then after doing some major minimizing with our closest, I think we’re each going to get by with just packing a few suitcases full of clothes/shoes/toiletries/etc. Then, of course, we’ll be bringing our dogs along in their fancy new international-flight-approved crates. But other than that, the only thing we’re planning on shipping right now is a box or two full of photography gear and a few of my favorite kitchen utensils and plates…and that’s about it!

Kind of crazy how little we’re actually bringing. But man, it feels really good.

That said, the only thing I’m genuinely bummed about leaving behind lately is my little collection of kitchen appliances. Because of crazy shipping costs (and different electrical plugs), it really didn’t make sense to ship any of them over there. We’ll probably replace two or three of the key appliances when we arrive. But I’m guessing that we won’t have room for some of my fun faves in our tiny European kitchen, like my dehydrator and rice cooker and — yes — my waffle maker. So ha, this month I’ve been going a little waffle-crazy before we move. And it made me realize that somehow I’ve never shared my go-to waffle recipe here on the blog with you!

It’s one that I’ve tweaked here and there over the years, and happens to be gluten-free (since I make it with blended-up gluten-free old fashioned oats, instead of wheat flour), and it’s made with everyday ingredients that you likely already have on hand. And guys, it is delicious. Especially when topped with some maple syrup and a good pat of butter — can’t go wrong.

So for any of you out there who still have a waffle maker at home, it would make me ridiculously happy if I knew that this recipe would be living on in your kitchens until I’m reunited with mine. ? I think you’re going to love ’em!

As I said, the ingredients for these waffles are simple. Just blend up a bunch of old fashioned oats (be sure that they’re certified gluten-free, and not quick oats) in your blender until they form a flour-like consistency. Then stir them together with some baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Combine them with a mixture of eggs, almond milk and maple syrup until combined. Then cook the batter up in your waffle maker according to its instructions. (I tend to under-fill mine to make smaller waffles.)

Then add on your desired toppings…and serve!!

I’ve gotta say that I’m a little partial to topping mine with this stuff —Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil and Sea Salt.

Some of you saw on Instagram a few months ago that I actually had the chance to fly up to Minnesota this summer to visit the Land O’Lakes headquarters. And after spending a few days with some of their incredible dairy farmers and their families (truly some of the most hardworking and passionate folks I’ve met, who care so deeply about their work), I had the chance to do a taste-test of the full line of Land O’Lakes® butter products.

Yep, that’s right. Taste-testing butter.

I freaking love this job. ?

Anyway, a simple piece of bread or a cracker topped with butter will always make my day. But of all the butter products I tried, this butter actually ended up being my overall favorite, and it’s been stocked in my fridge ever since. I love that it’s made partly with olive oil, since I often combine the two anyway for everyday sautéing, stir-frying, etc. But I’m also always partial to salty butter, and the amount of sea salt in this one is just perfection in my book. And it tastes mighty delicious on a waffle.

So yeah, these waffles + good-quality butter + maple syrup = my breakfast on repeat lately.

  1. Perfect timing – I’ve had major waffles cravings this week! Will get a hold of a waffle maker and try these out. Thanks, Ali!

  2. I’ll have to try these…hubby is gluten intolerant so I’ve switched over to gluten free recipes for many things. A few things he just doesn’t like when switched over but I’ve had good luck with so many of your recipes that I think I need to give this a try.

  3. I wish I had a waffle maker! If I did, that’s what we’d eat for breakfast most days – not really, but I’d make them often. But I have no room to store a waffle maker, especially since I just got a second slow cooker. If I had a waffle maker, I’d definitely make these.

  4. Love that it’s made from oats! So often I see gluten-free waffles and it’s just refined flour still, I LOVE USING oat flour as a healthy whole grain alternative!

  5. Have you tried using this recipe for pancakes?

  6. Oh mann I haven’t had a good waffle since I went gluten free. Add a little bit more cinnamon and top it with cinnamon sugar and you’ve got yourself a churro waffle — perfect for getting ready for going to Spain. :) Thanks for sharing and safe travels!

  7. Perfect for my tea time! Gonna make it now! Though I don’t have a waffle maker but let’s try the oven.






  8. I’ve made these and they’re the bomb. Whole family loved them. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you for sharing!
