About These Healthy Oat Waffles

There are a few ways I've tweaked the traditional waffle recipe to be a bit healthier. The most important is the flour.

I use a mix of white whole wheat and oat flours in the recipe. I use whole grain oat flour in these apple oat pancakes.

Both are whole grain flours and contain a lot more fiber and nutrients than regular all-purpose flour which is processed. Fiber helps control blood sugar spikes and is also essential for gut health. Since these are whole grain flours, they contain more vitamins and minerals as well.

Speaking of sugar,  I use very little sugar and salt in this recipe, much less than store bought pancake and waffle mix.

Oatmilk and coconut oil replaces regular milk and butter in this recipe, so it's dairy-free. Any plant-based milk would work for this recipe.

If you can't find oat flour, you can use all whole wheat or a combination of whole wheat and all purpose.

Of course, no respectable waffle can stand alone without pure maple syrup. It's worth the monetary splurge!

Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
