Follow my recipe below to make the perfect blend of chai spice to use in these waffles, baking, latte’s and more.
Ingredients You Need For Chai Waffles
What you need to make these delightful waffles are:
- Oat Flour. You can make your own by blending whole grain oats in a blender or food processor.
- All-purpose flour
- Arrowroot powder or cornstarch
- Salt
- Chai spice
- Baking powder
- Plant milk
- Coconut oil
How To Make Chai Spice
Combine the following spices:
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
Tools Needed For Chai Spiced Oat Waffles
- Waffle iron. This is the fun heart shaped one I use.
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Large spoon
Can These Waffles Be Gluten-Free?
The answer is yes, these waffles can absolutely be made gluten-free. One way is to ensure you are using gluten-free oat flour and use gluten-free all-purpose flour. A second way is you can eliminate the flour all together and just use gluten-free oat flour. Keep in mind the waffle will be denser and more cookie-like which is a good thing, in my opinion.

- Yield: 6 waffles 1x
- Category: Breakfast
- Cuisine: American
- Diet: Vegan
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour *
- 1/2 cup All Purpose flour
- 4 tbsp arrowroot powder or cornstarch
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp chai spice
- 2 cups oat milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron.
- Add the oat flour, AP flour, coconut sugar, arrowroot powder, baking powder, salt, chai spices to a large bowl and whisk until thoroughly incorporated.
- Add milk, melted coconut oil and vanilla. Stir gently until just combined. Do not over-mix as oat flour can become too thick.
- I did not need to oil my waffle iron. If your first waffle sticks I recommend oiling your iron.
- Add about 2/3 cups batter to your hot waffle iron. Spread with a spoon being careful not to get to close to the edge to prevent overflowing. This amount may vary depending on the size of your iron.
- The cook time depends on your iron. Some irons will beep when they are finished. I always cook mine for 20 seconds after I think they are done because I like them crispy.
- Waffles are best when eaten warm. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in the toaster to enjoy a quick and easy breakfast.
Notes
Make your own oat flour by blending whole oats in a blender or food processor.
