Healthy Oat Flour Waffles

"In the mornin', I'm makin' waffles!"

Who doesn't love waffles, right?!?!?  I just received my first waffle maker for Mother's Day and I have been having way too much fun testing it out.  In our house, we try to eat healthy as much as possible so one of my first tasks was to find a way to make waffles that actually fit into our diet and won't send our kids into a sugar craze.

After a few attempts, I finally figured out the PERFECT healthy oat flour waffle recipe.  Give it a try and let me know what you think:

Ingredients:

1/2 C oat flour*                                                                              
1/4 C muffin mix (your choice- we prefer blueberry)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
1/3 C fat-free milk
2 egg whites

Directions:


  1. In a large bowl,add the dry ingredients and mix well.
  2. Add in the applesauce, milk and egg whites and mix well.
  3. Spray your waffle-maker with non-stick cooking spray and allow to heatup.
  4. Cook waffles according to directions/instructions for your waffle-maker
  5. Remove from waffle-maker, add sugar-free syrup, and ENJOY!

Tips:
*You can buy oat flour from the store or you can make your own using old-fashioned oats and a blender or food processor.

My waffle-maker has an indicator light that lets me know when the waffles are done.  If you waffle-maker does not have this feature, I recommend checking your waffles after 2-3 minutes and removing them when golden brown.
