What is Oat Flour?

Oat flour is made from the nutritious and popular grain – oats! Oats is known to be a breakfast food. However, oats are becoming a staple ingredient in many recipes and food products. This recipe alone uses three (3) oat ingredients – oat flour, oat milk and margarine made with oat beverage.

Although oat flour can be bought directly from the grocery store, making it is just as easy! Using a blender or food processor, blend the oats until it becomes a fine flour. Use as directed by the recipe!

Oat Flour Waffles Ingredient Breakdown

• Oat flour: See above for directions on buying or making homemade oat flour.
• Baking powder: A leavening agent.
• Ground cinnamon: Cinnamon adds warmth and spice to the oat flour waffles.
• Egg: To bind all the ingredients together.
• Margarine: Use margarine made with oat beverage (available from Becel) makes this recipe lactose free (and maybe a bit healthier than normal waffles). Melting the margarine creates the crispy outer edges of the waffles.
• Maple Syrup: Add for natural sweetness. However, leaving out the maple syrup gives an opportunity to pour a generous amount of maple syrup on top!
• Vanilla extract: Add for flavour.
• Oat milk: I use Earth’s Own Oat Milk, available in unsweetened vanilla and unsweetened original. Oat milk is a great alternative to dairy milk, and Earth’s Own Oat milk is gluten-free, nut-free and vegan friendly! (Not sponsored, I just really like oat milk).

How to Make Oat Flour Waffles

1. Preheat the waffle iron. I have the DASH Mini Heart Waffle Maker and the Proctor-Silex Waffle Maker (The one I own does not exist anymore). Any waffle maker will work for this recipe. Follow the cooking instructions for the waffle iron you are using.

3. Once the waffle iron has warmed, scoop the oat flour batter by using a 1/4 cup measuring spoon onto the waffle iron. Cook until done.

5. Add more oat milk to the batter if it becomes too thick.

Notes

Oat Flour: Oat flour is very absorbent, the waffle batter will thicken over time. Add more oat milk to thin out the batter and use all the batter immediately after mixing.

Margarine: Margarine made with oat beverage was used for this recipe but any type of melted margarine can be used.

Oat Milk: Any type of milk can be used for this recipe.
