Ingredients
For the Waffles:
- 1 cup oat flour (or blended rolled oats)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup mixed fresh berries (chopped strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
For the Chia Jam Drizzle:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
For Topping:
- Dollop of plain or vanilla Greek yogurt

Preparation Tips
- You can use frozen berries in both the batter and chia jam—just thaw and drain first.
- Blend your oats into flour ahead of time for a smoother batter if needed.
- Let your chia jam chill for at least 15 minutes to thicken up into drizzle form.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Chia Jam Drizzle
- In a small saucepan, cook berries over medium heat until they start to break down (about 5 minutes).
- Mash lightly with a fork, then stir in honey/maple syrup and chia seeds.
- Remove from heat and let cool and thicken for 15–20 minutes. Chill until ready to use.
Step 2: Make the Waffle Batter
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Fold in the chopped berries gently.
- Let the batter rest while your waffle iron heats up.
Step 3: Cook the Waffles
- Lightly grease your waffle iron and scoop in the batter (about ½ to ¾ cup).
- Cook for 3–5 minutes, or until golden and firm. Let cool slightly on a wire rack for crispness.
To Serve
- Top each waffle with a swirl of chia jam, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a few extra fresh berries.
- Optional: sprinkle with granola, flax, or hemp seeds for crunch and bonus nutrition.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with a smoothie or fresh juice for a vibrant brunch plate.
- Pack cooled waffle quarters and chia jam in a lunchbox for a fruity mid-morning snack.
- Add a scoop of nut butter for even more staying power.
Make-Ahead & Storage
- Fridge: Store waffles in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months. Toast to reheat for best texture.
- Chia jam: Keeps in the fridge for up to 1 week — try it on toast, too!
