Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Base
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond milk
Waffle Batter
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Add-ins and Garnish
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds
Instructions
- Soak Oats: In a bowl, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Cover and place in the refrigerator to soak overnight (around 12 hours) to soften the oats and create a creamy base for the waffles.
- Prepare Batter: In the morning, add the almond flour, maple syrup, egg, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the soaked oats. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated into a smooth batter.
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it is properly hot for even cooking.
- Fold in Almonds: Gently fold the chopped almonds into the waffle batter to add crunch and extra almond flavor.
- Cook Waffles: Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron. Cook the waffles until they turn golden brown and crisp, typically about 4-6 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
- Serve: Serve the waffles warm with additional maple syrup, fresh fruits, or your favorite toppings for a satisfying breakfast experience.
Notes
- Soaking the oats overnight results in a better texture and easier digestion.
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk if desired.
- Ensure your waffle iron is well preheated to avoid sticking and to achieve a crispy exterior.
- For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg or other egg replacer.
- Chopped almonds add texture but can be omitted or replaced with other nuts or seeds.
