What Makes This Dish So Tasty

These waffles are a delicious way to enjoy a gluten-free breakfast without missing out on flavor or texture. The oats add a hearty touch and extra fiber, making them both satisfying and nutritious. They are perfect for anyone looking for a wholesome start to the day.

Pro Cooking Tips

- Make sure your waffle iron is well preheated to get a crispy outside and soft inside.
- Use gluten-free oats labeled as such to avoid cross-contamination.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to improve texture and help the oats absorb moisture.

Step 1

Gently heat up your waffle iron and give it a quick spray with some cooking spray to keep the waffles from sticking. In a big bowl, mix the oats with the almond milk until they’re well combined. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and melted butter, then pour that into the oat mixture and stir it all up.

Step 2

Take a clean bowl and beat the egg white until it forms stiff peaks—that means it should hold its shape when you lift the whisk. Sprinkle the brown sugar and baking powder into the oat mixture, give it a good stir, then gently fold in the beaten egg white. Be careful not to overmix; you want to keep it light and airy.

Step 3

Scoop about half a cup of batter onto your hot waffle iron, spreading it out to the edges. Close the iron and let it cook until the steam stops coming out, usually around five minutes. Keep going with the rest of the batter, and enjoy your waffles fresh off the iron!

Serving Ideas For Every Meal

Serve these waffles warm with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt. They also pair well with nut butters and sliced bananas for a filling and tasty meal. For a savory twist, try topping them with avocado and a sprinkle of cheese.

How To Store For Later

Allow the waffles to cool completely before storing. Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze the waffles separated by parchment paper and reheat in a toaster or oven for best results.
