These gluten-free oat flour waffles have crispy edges and a light fluffy interior. These homemade oat waffles can be made in advance and reheated for a quick breakfast on the go.
In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and whisk to combine.
In a separate small bowl heat the milk for 30 to 60 seconds until warm not hot. Whisk in melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk until blended.
Preheat waffle iron while the batter rests for 10 minutes.
Scoop the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Keep your waffles warm while cooking other batches by placing them on a wire rack in a 200 degree oven.
Notes
Oat Flour can be made from whole old-fashioned oats by pulsing in a food processor until you get a fine flour. You will need approximately 2 ¾ cups of oats to make 2 cups of oat flour.
This recipe is gluten-free only if certified gluten-free oats are used.
This recipe makes 10 using a small waffle iron if you use a larger Belgian-style waffle maker it will make approximately 6 waffles.
Store in zip-top bags in the freezer.
Reheat in a toaster or toaster oven set to medium heat until warmed through.
DAIRY-FREE OPTION- Use nondairy milk and vegan butter. I recommend almond milk. You can use coconut oil or vegetable oil, but vegan butter will have a better flavor.
