Equipment

  • waffle maker

Ingredients

  • 2 ¾ cups oat flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a large bowl whisk together the oat flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  • In a small bowl separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the yolks in a larger bowl with the milk, vanilla extract and melted butter. Use a hand whisk to mix all ingredients together. If the butter is slightly clumped from solidifying in the milk it is okay because it will melt as it cooks in the waffle iron.
  • Add the wet and dry ingredients together and use a spatula to mix well. The batter may seem very thin at first but will thicken during the resting time.
  • Use a hand mixer to whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Then add the egg whites to the waffle batter and gently stir to combine.
  • At this point the batter needs to rest for 10 minutes so that the oat flour can absorb the milk.
  • While the batter is resting turn the waffle iron on so that it is hot and ready to go.
  • Before adding the batter make sure your waffle iron is properly greased by using a silicone brush to brush a small amount of butter or oil on the waffle maker.
  • Use the measuring cup that came with your waffle iron to portion out the batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron. Spread the batter around and close the lid.
  • Wait for the indicator to know when the waffle is finished cooking. I cooked mine for a few extra seconds so it was extra crispy.
  • Keep the waffles warm while cooking other batches by placing them on a wire rack in a 200 degree oven. Do not stack the waffles because this will make them soggy.
