Easy Gluten Free Oat Waffles
These light, crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside waffles are my favorite waffles! They just happen to be gluten free (and heart healthy), too. The waffles are made entirely with oat flour, which you can easily make yourself (see note). Recipe yields 3 to 4 round, 7-inch Belgian waffles, or 6 small, square Belgian waffles (the size shown here).
