Tips & Variations

  • Use fresh grated ginger instead of ground for a brighter, zesty flavor.
  • Substitute oat flour with whole wheat or gluten-free flour if preferred.
  • Add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter for added crunch.
  • For a dairy option, replace almond milk with regular milk or cream.

Storage

Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, toast them in a toaster or toaster oven to restore their crispiness. You can also freeze cooked waffles for up to 1 month and reheat directly from frozen.
