PP Mother's Day Oat Waffles with Fresh Strawberries and Orange
Chef: Jessica Meyers Altman, GardenFreshFoodie
Makes: 12 Servings
Prep Time: 3 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Total Time: 23 min
INGREDIENTS
3 ½ c oats or 3 c of whole-grain flour
2 c almond milk (or more if the batter gets too thick)
2 T maple syrup or date paste
1/3 c unsweetened apple sauce
2 t cinnamon
½ t nutmeg
½ t kosher/sea salt
2 T baking powder
1 t vanilla
1 T psyllium husk*can omit if you do not have this, the recipe will still work
1 orange, juice and zest (about 1 T zest & 3-4T fresh orange juice)
DIRECTIONS
If making your own flour, place the oats into a blender first. Process until it makes flour.
Add the rest of the ingredients in the order provided, and blend.
Let batter rest for about 5-10 min before using
Heat waffle iron and use about half of a c of batter per waffle (depending on the size of your waffle maker). If you are finding the batter gets too thick as it sits (it will thicken), you can thin it out with additional almond milk (be sure to stir after or re-blend).
I find that my gluten-free waffles need a little more time in the waffle maker than the machine tells me it does. I lift and check when the light goes off, and if it does not look done, let it go for a couple more minutes.
Serve topped with your favorite fruit or no sugar added jam or maple syrup.
