Ingredients

  • 120 ml (½ cup) skimmed milk, slightly warm
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 1 tbsp melted low fat spread such as Flora Light
  • 150 g (1 ½ cups + 2 tbsp) oats
  • 2 tbsp sweetener (optional, leave out for savoury waffles)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional, leave out for savoury waffles)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Stir the lemon juice into the milk and leave for 5 minutes.
  2. Add the eggs and melted low fat spread. Stir to combine.
  3. Blitz the rolled oats (gluten-free if needed) until you have a fine powder and tip into a bowl.
  4. Add all remaining dry ingredients (sweetener, baking powder, soda, cinnamon, salt) and stir to combine.
  5. Add the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Leave the batter to rest for at least 15 minutes so that the oats absorb some of the moisture.
  6. Heat your waffle maker and mist with cooking spray. Add enough batter to the centre of the waffle maker (to cover approx. ¾ of area) and close the lid.
  7. Cook until the waffle is golden and crisp then transfer to a cooling rack.
  8. Continue with remaining batter until you use it all up. Don’t stack the waffles while still warm as they will lose their crispness.
  9. Serve with fresh fruit and a little maple syrup or honey or serve with eggs and mushrooms as a savoury breakfast.

Notes

  • Topping Ideas
  • Freezing
  • Simply pop the cooled waffles in a ziplock bag, store in the freezer and use within a month. Pop into your toaster straight from frozen to serve.
  • Maple syrup and fresh fruit 
  • A drizzle of honey and handful of walnuts
  • Use a low calorie Sweet Freedom syrup
  • Vanilla yogurt with strawberries
  • Serve warm with low fat frozen yogurt for dessert!
