Notes
- To freeze waffles lie cooled waffles flat in an airtight container. Freeze for up to four months.
- Use your toaster to defrost and reheat a frozen waffle. Use the toasters defrost setting first, then toast the defrosted raffle on low to warm thoroughly.
- The waffle batter is quite thick thanks to the rolled oats. I would therefore cook the waffles on medium heat so the waffle cooks all the way through before becoming too brown on the outside.
- Blueberries are quite sticky on waffle makers so make sure you grease your waffle iron- I use a spray oil for this.
- I serve these with yoghurt fruit and a little maple syrup for a fancy breakfast, or just plain as a snack or lunchbox filler for the kids
Ingredient notes and substitutions
- Wholemeal flour: This can be substituted with plain flour or wholewheat flour
