Are you a waffle or pancake person? In my book, waffles are clearly the superior breakfast food. They have their own little pockets to catch toppings, and their crisp, yet airy texture is the perfect combination. I recently had an Eggo for the first time in years, which inspired me to try and replicate these mini waffles, but healthier. These oatmeal waffles aren\u2019t quite as sweet, but they\u2019re just as satisfying! I use the Dash mini waffle maker to create 4 inch circular waffles, but any waffle maker will work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This oatmeal waffle recipe is gluten-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Make Oatmeal Waffles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first step for these oat waffles is making your oatmeal flour. Just throw some old fashioned oats in a blender and blend until they are a flour-like powder. This should only take a minute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, mix all your dry ingredients: oat flour, baking powder, salt, and flax seed if you\u2019re adding it. You can substitute \u00bc cup of oat flour for \u00bc cup of cornstarch to make the waffles extra crispy, but remember that cornstarch is less nutrient dense than oats and contains more calories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a separate bowl mix all your wet ingredients except for the egg whites: almond milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Pro tip<\/strong>: the apple cider vinegar will help make the waffle\u2019s texture light and fluffy because it reacts with the baking soda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combine dry and wet ingredients. Whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Fold them into your batter and add any final ingredients, like berries or chocolate chips. I like the consistency of my batter to be slightly runny. It should be thicker than pancake batter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your waffle maker is heated, you\u2019re ready to start cooking! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I want to make a single serving, I cut the recipe in half and that\u2019s typically the perfect portion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Much Batter To Use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"final<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all had the experience where you close your waffle maker and batter drips over the sides and all over the counter. Not fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are general guidelines for how much batter to use. Your waffle iron\u2019s manual will have more detailed information on this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
