Ginger Oatmeal Waffles & Yogurt "Whipped Cream"
Makes 4 large waffles
Ingredients
Ginger Oatmeal Waffles
- 2 cups (160g) old-fashioned oats*
- 1/2 cup (56g) almond meal
- 2 TBS sugar, I used unrefined cane sugar
- 3 tsp ground ginger
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 2/3 cups 395ml 1% milk (skim milk works also)
- 2 TBS olive oil
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Cinnamon Yogurt Cream
- 1 cup (225g) plain low-fat Greek yogurt
- 4 TBS 1% milk, skim milk works also
- 2 TBS honey
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Berry Topping
- 2 cups mixed berries for topping, I mixed strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries together
Instructions
- Place the old-fashioned oats in a blender or food processor, and pulse until the oats are ground into a flour.
- Pour the oat flour into a medium bowl and mix in the almond meal, sugar, ground ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Crack both eggs and separate the yolks from the egg whites. Place the egg whites into a small bowl and the yolks into a large bowl.
- Using a mixer with a whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks start to form. Set the egg whites aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the yolks, milk, olive oil, and vanilla extract together. Mix in the flour mixture into this bowl gradually. I like to add the flour in 3 batches, mixing everything right after I add flour. Gradually fold in the whisked egg whites. Let the batter set while you preheat the waffle iron and prepare the yogurt cream.
- While the waffle iron is preheating, mix the cinnamon yogurt cream ingredients together. Set aside.
- Once the waffle iron is ready, pour some of the batter into the waffle iron, and close it. I like to spray the waffle iron with natural cooking spray so that the waffles come out easier. Let the waffles cook for several minutes or until they get a nice golden color. My waffles cooked in about 4 minutes.
- Serve the waffles with 1/4 cup of the yogurt cream and 1/2 cup mixed berries.
Notes
1. *Be sure to use gluten-free oats if you want these waffles to be gluten-free. There may be cross contact between wheat and oats during the harvesting or shipping process, so check the food labels to determine whether the oats are gluten-free![br][br]2. The waffle batter should be fairly thick. If you find that it is quite runny, grind an additional 1/4 cup of oats into flour and add it to the batter. Repeat the process until the batter reaches a slightly thick consistency.
