FAQs
Can I use regular flour instead of oat flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour but this will change the nutritional profile. Oat flour is gluten-free and provides extra fiber.
Can I make these waffles vegan?
Yes, you can substitute the eggs with flax eggs and use a plant-based protein powder. Replace the honey with maple syrup for a fully vegan recipe.
How can I make these waffles more filling?
