FAQs
Can I make these waffles vegan?

How do I know when my waffles are done?
Your waffles are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. If your waffle maker has an indicator light, you can use that as a guide.
Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes, you can substitute oat flour with whole wheat flour or almond flour, but keep in mind that the texture and taste may change slightly. Adjustments in liquid may also be necessary depending on the flour used.
