Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup strawberries, chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of almond milk, 1/2 cup of chopped strawberries, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a blender or food processor, add the rolled oats and blend them until they reach a fine flour-like consistency. This will serve as the base for your waffles.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the blended oats with the baking powder, and mix well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, almond milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chopped strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. If necessary, lightly grease the waffle iron with a non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
- Once the waffle iron is hot, pour half of the batter onto the center of the waffle iron, spreading it slightly to ensure even cooking. Close the lid and cook for about 5 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.
- Carefully remove the cooked waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter to make the second waffle.
- Serve the waffles warm, topped with additional fresh strawberries, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings as desired.
Tips
- Blending Oats: For the best texture, blend the rolled oats until they are fine and powdery. This will create a smooth batter that mimics traditional waffle flour.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense waffles, so be gentle!
- Preheating the Waffle Iron: Make sure your waffle iron is fully preheated before adding the batter. This ensures that your waffles cook evenly and achieve that perfect golden-brown color.
- Greasing the Waffle Iron: Even if your waffle iron is non-stick, a light spray of cooking oil can help prevent sticking and make for easier removal of the waffles.
- Toppings Galore: Get creative with your toppings! Fresh strawberries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or even a dollop of Greek yogurt can elevate your waffle experience.
- Storing Leftovers: If you have any waffles left over, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They can be reheated in the toaster for a quick breakfast on the go!
