Finally getting around to posting the recipe for these amazing waffles. I wanted to have the batter ready so I looked up recipes for overnight waffles. I thought of adding pumpkin spice which is just (ground nutmeg+allspice+cinnamon+ginger) to the mix to make it taste like gingerbread cookies. Next time I will try adding molasses to the mix. I personally like adding whole wheat flour because the kids don't like the consistency of just oat flour waffles. I find they don't eat as much. Plus I find it dense and I wasn't sure if it would rise if I just used oat flour. So I did half oat flour and half whole wheat flour. Oat flour is basically ground oats. I make my own by grinding it in the coffee grinder. So much cheaper. Chocolate dipped fruits are optional but kids love fancy breakfasts. These waffles are crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. The original recipe I saw had 1/2 cup of butter but I switched it to greek yogurt and still added a little bit of melted butter. You can omit the butter if you are watching calories but it does add a lot of flavour. And I added cornstarch to make the waffles crispy. That ingredient can also be omitted.
