Kylee's Notes & FAQs
I use quick oats in my waffles. Old fashioned rolled oats can be used, but I recommend allowing them to soak in the batter for a little bit, and adding more liquid.These waffles take a little longer to cook than regular waffles.StorageStore in the refrigerator, and warm up in the toaster.To freeze: After they're cooked and completely cooled, layer waffles on top of each other separated by parchment, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in freezer zip lock bag.Don't thaw - just put in the toaster and cook until hot.Substitutions/AdditionsYou can leave out the brown sugar in these waffles, or replace them with regular sugar, honey, or even better - maple syrupYou could use oat flour (or just blast some oats in a food processor) in place of regular flour if you prefer.If you need gluten-free waffles, be sure that your oats are certified gluten-free.Almond milk, coconut milk and any other non dairy milk can be substituted if you prefer to go dairy-free.Coconut oil can be substituted for butter if you prefer.
