🥘 Ingredients
Oat Flour: you can make your own at home by blending old fashion rolled oats in a blender until you get a flour texture. Two cups of oats make a little less than 2 cups of oat flour.
Sugar: add a little sugar to the waffles to sweeten them up, or leave it out completely
Baking Powder: helps to make them fluffy
Salt: helps to bring out the flavors
Almond Milk: I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk to make the waffles
Neutral Flavored Oil: like avocado oil or vegetable oil
Eggs: They help the waffles to rise
Vanilla: adds flavor

🙋♀️ FAQ
Make sure your waffles iron is hot when you pour batter into it. You should hear it sizzle. If the iron isn't hot enough, the waffle won't become crispy.
👩🍳Tips & Tricks
Let the batter sit for 15 minutes before making the waffles. The oats need time to absorb the liquid and thicken the batter. If the batter doesn't sit, the waffles will be grainy.
