FAQs

Can I make these waffles vegan?

Yes! You can substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water). Use a dairy-free milk alternative and leave out the melted coconut oil, or replace it with a vegan butter substitute.

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.
